Army appellate court issues opinion in Hasan case
FORT HOOD, Texas — The U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals issued an opinion Oct. 18 upholding the trial judge’s decision to order Maj. Nidal M. Hasan to appear in court clean shaven. The ACCA ruled that Col. Gregory Gross, the trial judge, properly found that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act does not provide Hasan the right to wear a beard while in uniform during his upcoming court martial.
