FORT HOOD, Texas, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- The refusal of accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan to shave his beard before court appearances remains an issue at his appeal hearing, Army officials say.
The military psychiatrist's trial on charges he killed 13 service members and wounded 32 has been delayed from its scheduled start in August as the Court of Criminal Appeals considered whether his beard could be forcibly shaved, CNN reported.
