| Defense Attorney: Hasan Is Paralyzed From the Chest Down |
| 2009-11-22 |
| Major Nidal Hasan, charged with killing 13 in the Fort Hood shooting spree, is paralyzed from the chest down and is not a flight risk, said his defense attorney after a hearing before a military magistrate in Hasan's hospital room Saturday. The accused Fort Hood shooter had his first court hearing in the intensive care unit of a San Antonio hospital at 1 p.m. His status has now been changed from pre-trial restriction to pre-trial confinement, meaning that he will be confined until his court martial. Attorney says Hasan is lucid and won't plead guilty to charges of killing 13. The military magistrate ruled that Hasan will stay at Brooke Army Medical Center for now, but the military has the option of moving him to another medical facility or to jail. According to defense attorney John Galligan, Hasan is paralyzed from the chest down, is incontinent and "in severe pain." "He is an individual in need of constant medical attention," Galligan said. "He has no sensation from his chest down." |

| #11 Is Major Hasan's lawyer conveying the medical diagnosis, or is he just opining? |

| #8 Hasan doesn't have much going on for himself from the chest up either. He's in for a long stay in hell too. |

| #7 . According to defense attorney John Galligan, Hasan is paralyzed from the chest down, is incontinent and "in severe pain." "He is an individual in need of constant medical attention," Galligan said. "He has no sensation from his chest down." So which is it? If he has no sensation from his chest down, how can he be in severe pain? I agree that we shouldn't execute him now. Instead, to save money, just don't give him any pain medication. |

| #6 Hasan is paralyzed from the chest down, is incontinent and "in severe pain." This would seem to indicate that he was shot in the spine, which is a neat trick when you consider that the Piece of Sh*t had no spine. |

| #5 How about his victims? Are they still dead? |

| #4 bad thing is he will never be in supermax now that he is paralyzed from the chest down. He will go too a prison hospital. But we can always hope a new nurse will "accidentally" give him a shot and air will get into his veins. |

| #3 Nothing but good news there. I especially like the incontinent part. No way we should execute him. Let him tote his shit bag with him in every corner of his cell in Super Max for the next 40 years. That's punishment. |
