FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) - A military judge has refused to again delay the trial of an Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly Fort Hood shooting rampage.
Col. Gregory Gross decided at a pretrial hearing Tuesday that the court-martial of Maj. Nidal Hasan should begin with jury selection as scheduled on Monday.
Gross previously delayed the trial from March to June and then to August.
Hasan's attorneys had argued that they needed more time to look through 26 boxes of documents, including some of his medical records and jail logs.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 attack at the Texas Army post.
He faces the death penalty or life in prison without parole if convicted.
