A U.S. military judge on Wednesday set a March 2012 court martial date for Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an army psychiatrist charged in the 2009 killing rampage at a the Fort Hood military base, Reuters reported.
Hasan’s trial is set to begin on March 5, 2012. He could face the death penalty if unanimously convicted by a 12-member jury of U.S. soldiers.
13 people were killed and 32 were wounded in the Fort Hood shooting spree on November 5, 2009.
