Judge in Ft. Hood case says Hasan can't plead guilty
The trial was originally scheduled to start last summer but was delayed when Hasan, a Muslim, grew a beard and refused to shave for religious reasons, despite orders and fines imposed by the judge then handling the case, Col. Gregory Gross.
Gross eventually ordered Hasan to shave or be forcibly shaved, and Hasan’s attorneys appealed. In December, the top U.S. military appellate court ruled in Hasan's favor and removed Gross, whom they said had failed to remain impartial.
Gross' order that Hasan shave before trial was set aside. Osborn, appointed to replace him, has yet to rule on the beard, although she hinted at a December hearing that Hasan might be able to keep it.
Like Gross, Osborn ruled that under military law, she could not accept a guilty plea from Hasan because he faces capital charges .
cant plead guilty of murder in the military?
