FORT HOOD, Texas, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- A U.S. military judge suspended the court martial of the accused Fort Hood shooter Wednesday after a lawyer said he appears to be seeking a death sentence.
The proceedings against Maj. Nidal Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, were adjourned until Thursday, CBS News reported. The trial is being held at Fort Hood in Texas, where Hasan admitted in opening statements he went on a shooting spree that left 13 people dead.
