FORT HOOD, Texas – A soldier who recorded the terror of last year's deadly shooting rampage in Fort Hood using his cell phone was ordered by an officer to delete both videos, a military court heard Friday.

Under cross examination, Pfc. Lance Aviles told an Article 32 hearing that his noncommissioned officer ordered him to destroy the two videos on Nov. 5, the same day that a gunman unleashed a volley of bullets inside a processing center at the Texas Army post.

The footage could have been vital evidence at the military hearing to decide if Maj. Nidal Hasan should stand trial in the shootings. The 40-year-old American-born Muslim has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

Prosecutors have not said whether they'll seek the death penalty if the case goes to trial.

[why wasn’t it in his SIM card? Wouldn’t it be saved there?]

DC, I don't have a clue. With my bad hearing I don't carry any kind of cell phone because I can't understand on them. I have read recently that text messaging is a real boon for those with hearing loss though.

Think I did read that the SIM card just carries the personal identification of the owner though, not photos, etc.

I’m not going to assume anything...you know what “assume” means, don’t you? ;o)

However, you do ask some pertinent questions. and I would like the answers to those questions.

OH...I think you’re right. I’m not much up on this new fangled technology, either. ;o)

Should have quickly sent it to others before he deleted it. Wish he had defied his orders.

You forgot that a twelve gauge shotgun can be referred to as a rifle!

I’m not up on all the ‘new fangled’ stuff either anymore. The computer consumes all my off time and I’ve learned how to keep it up and running, lol.

Destroying evidence is a crime.

The order was to commit a crime and was therefore illegal. The soldier had every right to disobey.
