FORT HOOD, Texas -- In the case of U.S. vs. Maj. Nidal Hasan, the trial judge, Col. Gregory Gross, held a hearing, July 12, to discuss a proposed written pretrial panel member questionnaire.
After discussing several proposed written questions with defense counsel and the prosecution, the judge announced what questions would be and could not be included on the questionnaire.
The questionnaire will likely be sent to potential panel members this week, and the judge set a July 20 deadline for the questionnaire's return.
Additionally, the judge noted that the Army Court of Criminal Appeals had refused to hear a defense appeal of the judge's ruling not to recuse himself from the case.
The judge also discussed, but did not yet rule on, his review of material from the FBI and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence concerning whether the reviewed material was relevant to the proceedings.
The accused was not present in court today and continued to view court proceedings via a closed-circuit feed adjacent to the courthouse.
The next Article 39a hearing is currently scheduled for 10 a.m., July 25, where the judge will take up any new matters raised by the parties.
The accused is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
