Military panel to resume deliberations in Fort Hood massacre

A military panel tasked with determining the fate of accused Ford Hood shooter Army Maj. Nidal Hasan has yet to come to a decision. The panel broke for the night Thursday after asking the presiding judge two questions, CNN reported, and was to resume its work Friday morning. The 13 military officers who comprise the panel requested police officer Mark Todd's testimony be read back to them. They also asked to see a map of buildings at Fort Hood, the network said. Hasan is charged with 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of attempted murder in the November 5, 2009, shooting rampage. He was left paralyzed from the waist down when wounded during the attack. The panel started deliberating after Hasan, who represented himself during his court-martial, declined to make a statement during closing arguments. Prosecutors told the panel the evidence showed Hasan intended to kill as many soldiers as possible as part of a jihadist attack. "There is no doubt, as I said in the beginning, the accused is the shooter," Col. Steven Henricks told the panel. "The only question for you is ... is this a premeditated design to kill?"
