FORT HOOD, Texas, Aug 23 (Reuters) – The deliberating jury
in the court-martial of admitted Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal
Hasan came back to court briefly on Friday to ask the judge two
questions about jury instructions.
The judge, Colonel Tara Osborn, addressed the jury’s
concerns and sent the 13 officers back to deliberations on
reaching a verdict regarding the 13 charges of premeditated
murder and 32 charges of attempted premeditated murder stemming
from the shooting rampage at the Texas military base in 2009.
Jurors deliberated for about three hours on Thursday
afternoon and another three hours on Friday morning when they
came back to court.
