Nidal Hasan has been fraught with drama. Closing arguments are expected shortly. He is accused of killing 13 people during a 2009 shooting rampage in Fort Hood, Texas.

The judge sided with Hasan and allowed the trial to continue.

Nidal Hasan was barred from entering a guilty plea to the 13 murder counts he faces in connection with a mass shooting in 2009. The Uniform Code of Military Justice prohibits such a plea in cases that could end with the death penalty. Experts say the code goes to great lengths to protect the individual's rights.
