A military judge Thursday ordered Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly 2009 Fort Hood shooting, to shave off his beard or have it forcibly shaved. A military appeals court has already said Hasan could appeal the order to shave the beard, which he said he grew out of duty to Islam.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A military judge today ordered that the Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage must shave off his beard or have it forcibly shaved.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am ordering the accused to be clean-shaven for all subsequent pretrial hearings and the trial,” the judge, Col. Gregory Gross, said regarding Maj. Nidal Hasan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hasan has said he grew the beard out of duty to Islam. The military forbid beards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last week he told the judge, “I am not trying to disrupt the proceedings or the court.”<\/span><\/p>\n

But in his ruling, Gross said the defense had not proven that Hasan’s reason for growing the beard was sincere, the Associated Press says. Gross had<\/span> already fined Hasan<\/span><\/a><\/span> $6,000 this summer for violating an earlier directive to shave, saying the facial hair<\/span> disrupted court proceedings.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

His ruling effectively put the trial on hold, because the armed forces’ court of appeals had already agreed to hear Hasan’s appeal after Gross explained his rationale, the<\/span> San Antonio Express-News<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span> says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 rampage at the Texas base.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier, his attorneys said he had twice offered to plead guilty and “accept responsibility” earlier this year, and had tried to challenge Army rules that forbid a defendant in a death-penalty case from pleading guilty to murder, th<\/span>e Associated Press writes.<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
