FORT HOOD (AP) — The soldier on trial for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood rested his case Wednesday without calling any witnesses or testifying in his own defense.
Maj. Nidal Hasan is acting as his own attorney but told the judge that he wouldn’t be putting up a defense. About five minutes after proceedings began, the judge asked Hasan how he wanted to proceed. He answered: “The defense rests.”
