Fort Hood shooter 'tried to kill as many soldiers as he could,' prosecutor says

The military trial for the Army psychiatrist accused in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage began under heavy security on Tuesday at the Texas base, and it seems likely to unfold as a faceoff between the gunman and his victims.

A military prosecutor opened the trial by saying that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan planned to "kill as many soldiers as he could."

Col. Steve Henricks said prosecutors would show that Hasan picked the date of the attack -- Nov. 5, 2009 -- for a specific reason, though Henricks didn't immediately reveal details.

Unrepentant Fort Hood shooter calls himself 'Mujahideen' at trial

"The evidence presented in this trial will only show one side, that I was on the wrong side, and then I switched sides," Hasan said. "We the Mujahideen are imperfect Muslims trying to establish the perfect religion in the land of the supreme god."

Hasan said "the evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter. The dead bodies will show that war is an ugly thing."

Maj. Hasan: Evidence will show 'I am the shooter'

FOLLOW UPDATES FROM JASON WHITELY IN FORT HOOD
FORT HOOD (WFAA/AP) — The Army psychiatrist accused in the deadliest mass shooting ever on a U.S. military installation told jurors Tuesday that evidence would "clearly show" he was the gunman during the attack on Fort Hood, but he insisted it wouldn't tell the whole story.
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan briefly laid out his defense as he addressed jurors during the first day of the long-delayed trial for the attack that killed 13 people on the Texas Army post in 2009. Acting as his own attorney, Hasan also cited his religion but didn't elaborate.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford had waited for the moment he would face the man who killed 13 of his colleagues in the 2009 massacre at Fort Hood. He'd prepared to confront Maj. Nidal Hasan, vowing to answer questions without fear in his heart.

A showdown, however, never happened.

Hasan's standby attorneys ask for control of case or to be removed

Posted on August 7, 2013 at 10:44 AM

FORT HOOD –– The standby defense attorneys for Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's during his court martial asked the judge Wednesday to let them take over or reduce their role, arguing they are only assisting his attempt to be sentenced to death for the 2009 massacre on post.

“It became clear during his opening statements; his goal is to remove impediments to the death penalty and he is working towards a death penalty,” said Col. Kris Poppe during the second day of testimony in the case.

“You honor, I object,” Hasan replied. “That’s a twist to the facts.”

Nidal Hasan hopes for death in Fort Hood killings, lawyers say

Fort Hood, Texas (CNN) -- The backup legal team for admitted Fort Hood gunman Maj. Nidal Hasan asked to withdraw from active participation in the case Wednesday, telling a judge that Hasan wants to be sentenced to death.
The request brought Hasan's court-martial to a screeching halt on what would have been the second day of testimony. The presiding judge, Col. Tara Osborn, recessed court until Thursday to hold a closed-door hearing with Hasan and his lawyers.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — A U.S. military judge could decide Thursday whether the Army psychiatrist accused in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood is trying to guarantee himself a death sentence.

Defense attorneys ordered to help Nidal Hasan as he represents himself during his murder trial say they believe he is trying to convince jurors to convict him. After only one day of testimony, the lawyers said they couldn't watch him fulfill a death wish.

That strategy "is repugnant to defense counsel and contrary to our professional obligations," Hasan's lead standby attorney, Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, told the judge on Wednesday. The judge then halted the trial for the day.

Soldiers recall the Fort Hood gunfire

Two who were wounded testify at trial

FORT HOOD, Texas (KXAN) - A soldier wounded in the 2009 shooting rampage on Fort Hood nearly four years ago offered a chilling account of the gunfire that left 15 dead.

“I realized (the shots) were a lot louder than what a pop gun should sound like,” said Sgt. Allen Carroll testified in the murder trial of Maj. Nidal Hasan, who admitted firing the shots and now faces the death penalty. “Then I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder.”

The testimony from one of the two soldiers who hit by gunfire who spoke in court on Thursday was the highlight of trial that began this week at the Central Texas Army post

Also, a day after defense counsel for Hasan asked to have their roles modified, Judge Tara Osborn ruled they will stay on in their current capacity.

The ruling was met with protest from Col. Kris Poppe, who is among military lawyers assisting in the defense. Poppe informed the judge he and the team would file a writ appealing her ruling that they feel requires them to violate their rules of conduct as defense attorneys.
