Fort Hood suspect offers guilty plea in massacre case
Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Hasan offered twice to plead guilty and accept responsibility earlier this year, trying to challenge rules on murder pleas in a death penalty case. A judge ordered beard shaving before trial as disputes over his facial hair continue. Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted on 13 counts of premeditated murder, even if he pleads guilty to 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.
