According to the article, the judge ruled the evidence was too old. It has to be relevant to the shooter's state of mind at the time of the murders. She's running a tight trial to have an air tight record on appeal.

What a lot of these pro se nutjobs will do is do the trial pro se and then bring in counsel for an appeal when they are convicted.

IIRC, the perp admitted jihadi motives in his opening statement.

The shooting happened November 5, 2009.

The emails were from December 2008 and June 2009:

Four months hardly seems "old" for murder or terrorism.

Old behavior can be introduced at a trial if it shows a continuous pattern of behavior.

Some serial killers don’t kill for a long time, then resume their actions.

Hassan was like a serial killer, doing certain things at one time, then waiting and then doing something related later.

This judge is a symptom of what is wrong with our judicial system, esp. with liberal judges. They are the “clear and present danger” to America.
