Prosecutors near end in Fort Hood rampage hearingA hearing to determine if the Army psychiatrist accused in last year's mass shooting at Fort Hood should be tried on multiple murder charges has resumed with prosecutors expected to wind up presentation of their evidence.
Attorneys for Maj. Nidal Hasan, a 40-year-old American-born Muslim, haven't said if they will also call witnesses at the Article 32 hearing continuing Thursday. The hearing is in its second week. Hasan faces 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder for the attacks last November at a medical processing complex at the Texas Army post. Lt. Col. James Pohl, the investigating officer presiding over the hearing, has heard testimony from dozens of soldiers wounded during the attack. posted on Oct 21, 2010
