FORT HOOD, Texas, Feb. 2 (UPI) -- Lawyers representing the U.S. Army psychiatrist charged in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, said they plan to seek a delay in his court-martial.
Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, Army Maj. Nidal Hasan's lead attorney, said the request expected to be made Thursday in a hearing is "purely a matter of necessity" so the defense has adequate time for pre-trial preparation, CNN reported.
