Attorney Says Ft. Hood Suspect Is Coherent And May Be Able To Stand Trial, But Medical Condition Is 'Extremely Serious'Medical condition doesn't trump standing trial unless he dies...
Fort Hood, TX (CBS) The Army major charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder in last week's shooting rampage at Ft. Hood is paralyzed, according to his civilian counsel.
You mean he can't hop up on any more tables and shoot up his fellows? How sad.
Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, who is recovering in an Army hospital's intensive care unit, is in "extremely serious" condition, retired Col. John Galligan said this morning.
Pray for sepsis.
Galligan met with his client yesterday at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, after Hasan was charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder. Their meeting lasted about an hour. Galligan was joined by an unidentified member of Hasan's family. "He cannot get up and walk," Galligan told a group of reporters gathered at Ft. Hood's main entrance, adding that Hasan's paralysis is likely from the waist down. Galligan said that his client was also experiencing intense pain in his hands. Galligan also told reporters that Hasan's speech is garbled.
There is a God, then.
