Since Colonel Galligan retired in 2001, I am mildly curious
as to how Hasan’s family knew to contact him.

He's the biggest grandstanding hired gun within the whole field of amoral defense lawyers in the Killeen/Fort Hood/Temple area ... and maybe in an even wider area than that.

He'd defend Jack the Ripper or Hitler as long as "Mr. Green" makes his appearance before the first session ...

It isn't uncommon for retired JAGS to make their living acting as civilian defense attorneys for military clients. I don't know Galligan, but if I had to guess, I'd say he's probably known at Ft. Hood as frequent criminal defense attorney there. Again, just a guess.

Plus, with the profile of this case, married to the fact that it's a capital case, I'm sure the family has been inundated with offers of representation, both from individual attorneys and organized anti-death penalty groups. It's very common.

I believe one of Hasan’s brothers is a lawyer. sd
