Major Nidal Hasan, charged with killing 13 in the Fort Hood shooting spree, is paralyzed from the chest down and is not a flight risk, said his defense attorney after a hearing before a military magistrate in Hasan’s hospital room Saturday.
The accused Fort Hood shooter had his first court hearing in the intensive care unit of a San Antonio hospital at 1 p.m.
His status has now been changed from pre-trial restriction to pre-trial confinement, meaning that he will be confined until his court martial.
