FORT HOOD, Texas The attorney for the Army psychiatrist accused of killing fellow soldiers at Fort Hood says doctors have told the soldier he may be paralyzed from the waist down. Attorney John Galligan told The Associated Press on Friday that Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan told him that he has no feeling in his legs and doctors say the condition may be permanent. Galligan says Hasan also told him he had extreme pain in his hands. Hasan was shot by police officers responding to last week's shootings at Fort Hood. Galligan spoke with him Thursday in the intensive care unit at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder in the attack at the sprawling Texas post that also left 29 people wounded. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

Can we make the execution room wheelchair compliant?
Hmm, it does not appear that divulging this information has gained one iota of sympathy for Hasan.

Yesterday the Army psychiatrist was charged in a military court with 13 counts of premeditated murder in the attack that also left 29 people wounded, and he may face other charges. Hasan, who is at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio recovering from bullet wounds, could be eligible for the death penalty if convicted. Galligan expressed unhappiness that the charges were apparently read to his client in the hospital yesterday without either him or his military counsel present.
His attorney "expressed unhappiness." Guess what, Mr. POS, your client's victims can't express anything at all forever.
Yes 14! Pro-life is trying to get them to include the unborn baby. I believe her family should, also, but their grief right now must be too enormous.
