Trial Date Set for Accused Fort Hood Shooter

The court-martial of US Army Maj Nidal Malik Hasan, accused in the 2009 Fort Hood massacre that killed 14 people, is scheduled to begin July 1st.  (Jury selection begins in May.)

The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, said she expects testimony in the trial to last up to three months. The government has nearly 300 witnesses.

Three months is nothing, given the fact the pre-trial has lasted nearly four years.
