Fort Hood trial resumes as lawyers seek removal
The trial of Maj. Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood resumed with him allowed to represent himself after the judge barred standby attorneys from taking over. Hasan’s lawyers sought removal or control, arguing the Army psychiatrist aimed to secure his own death sentence for the 2009 shooting that killed 13 at the Texas base. The judge denied the request but allowed the advisory role to continue as witnesses testified including Sgt. Maria Guerra who described the chaotic scene and demanded victims move on. Hasan challenged Guerra’s testimony briefly, prompting a rebuke from Judge Osborn that she was under oath.
