Admitted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan didn’t cross-examine any of the 17 witnesses who testified today, but he did raise a couple of objections, including his objection to a break which interfered with his prayer schedule.

Hasan also objected to a description of the surgeries performed to remove bullets from the surviving shooting victims, calling it aggravating evidence best reserved for the sentencing phase.

Rare #Hasan objection sustained by Col. Tara Osborn. Legal experts polled quickly surmise Hasan wanted that reserved for sentencing.
