Accused Fort Hood Shooter to Have Military Trial, Will Face Death Penalty
Published July 06, 2011 | FoxNews.com
DEVELOPING: The Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly Fort Hood rampage in Texas will be court-martialed and face the death penalty, Fox News confirms.
Fort Hood's commanding general announced the decision Wednesday for Maj. Nidal Hasan.
The 40-year-old is expected to appear in a Fort Hood courtroom for an arraignment and could enter a plea.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 shooting spree at the Army post.
Hasan's lead attorney, John Galligan, had urged the commanding general not to seek the death penalty, saying such cases were more costly, time-consuming and restrictive.
Two Army colonels previously recommended that Hasan be tried in a military court and face the death penalty.
