SNIPPET: “The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces was expected to rule on a long-disputed order requiring Maj. Nidal Hasan to shave his beard, which he grew in violation of Army regulations.
Instead, it sidestepped the issue after finding that the judge, Col. Gregory Gross, had displayed an “appearance of bias” in the case. The Army’s judge advocate general will appoint a new judge.”
(Note: 1 person who was killed was pregnant; so factually 14 people deceased and there were others injured.)
