The military trial of Army Maj. Nidal Hasan has been fraught with drama. Closing arguments are expected shortly. He is accused of killing 13 people during a 2009 shooting rampage in Fort Hood, Texas.
-
Hasan's defense advisers complained that it was "morally repugnant" to stay on his team, because Hasan, they argued, is intent on receiving the death penalty. The judge sided with Hasan and allowed the trial to continue.
-
Even if he wanted to, Maj. Nidal Hasan was barred from entering a guilty plea to the 13 murder counts he faces in connection with a mass shooting in 2009. The Uniform Code of Military Justice prohibits such a plea in cases that could end with the death penalty. Experts say the code goes to great lengths to protect the individual's rights.
