SAN ANTONIO — An attorney for the Army psychiatrist charged in the mass shooting at Fort Hood says his client will have his first court hearing in his hospital room Saturday.
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan’s civilian attorney, John Galligan, said Friday that prosecutors notified him of their plans for the hearing at the Brooke Army Medical Center here.
Hasan has been recovering there since the Nov. 5 rampage that left 13 dead and more than 30 wounded. Hasan was shot by civilian members of Fort Hood’s police force.
The hearing is to determine whether Hasan will be placed in pre-trial confinement — that usually means jail. But Galligan says he will argue that Hasan should remain in intensive care because he is paralyzed and still needs hospital care.
