FORT HOOD, Texas, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- The prosecution of accused Fort Hood, Texas, gunman Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan likely will be a drawn-out process, military legal experts said.
A former Army staff judge advocate and military law expert told the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram it could take two years to reach the military equivalent of a trial.
Any outcome also would likely be mired in appeals, said Richard Rosen, now vice chairman of the Texas Tech University's law school and former military justice attorney at Fort Hood.
