FORT HOOD, Texas The Army psychiatrist charged in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage will represent himself at his upcoming murder trial, meaning he will question the more than two dozen soldiers hes accused of wounding, a military judge ruled Monday.
Maj. Nidal Hasans attorneys will remain on the case but only if he asks for their help, the judge said. Hasan, 42, faces the death penalty or life in prison without parole if convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

And the circus continues.
His only purpose is to have the floor...he can rant and rave until the cows come home and the judge can't do much.
Remember how the court had to restrain Saddam?? Well, we don't do that here.
Be prepared for live prayers to allah...
Title him: "a rug and a rag".
Proving Lincon’s point...
Give the terrorist an extra 2 years to prepare....
Guranteed that once convicted he will use this as his first grouds for appeal. That’s the whole reason he’s doing it.
And more time when he appeals his conviction based on incompetent representation.
You beat me by 22 seconds.
LOL!
Building a case for appeal it seems to me.
Let the world see the face of “Workplace Violence”.
He has a fool for an attorney.
It’s funny, but I’m not joking.
Don’t think it will work:
“She repeatedly urged him to reconsider his request, noting that the lead prosecutor has more than 20 years of experience and that Hasan will be held to the same standards as all attorneys regarding courtroom rules and military law.
Youve made that quite clear, Hasan said after the judge asked if he understood that representing himself was not a good idea.
While you are required to have counsel made available to you, you have no legal requirement to accept it.
Army Major (Hasan) Played Role in Presidential (Obama) Transition
Yep, and it’s about to get much worse.
Major Hasan continues on full military pay plus benefits.
This is just to abuse the victims for one last time. If he’s representing himself, this means he gets to question the victims, that is, those who survived to be witnesses.
Cruel and unusual punishment - for the victims. But would one expect otherwise in Obama’s Muslim America?
I want to know why nobama hasn’t made this fellow-traveler a Work-Place-Violence czar? Does nobama have to pardon him first...is that the hold-up?
