FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) _ An Army psychiatrist charged in last month’s massacre at Fort Hood has been moved from a hospital’s intensive care unit to a private room.
His lawyer said Maj. Nidal Hasan is under guard at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio and rehabilitating from police gunshot wounds that left him paralyzed from the waist down.
Attorney John Galligan says doctors say Hasan needs to be hospitalized at least two more months while he learns to care for himself. Galligan has filed a motion to have Hasan transferred to a hospital closer to his office near Fort Hood.
Officials from the military hospital and Fort Hood did not immediately comment.
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the Nov. 5 attack.
Also:
— Galligan said Hasan is only allowed to see his attorneys and relatives.
— Hasan’s phone conversations can be recorded, his visits with relatives must be supervised and all communication during visits must be in English or be delayed until a translator is brought in.
— Hasan is barred from watching or reading news reports, and his private room has no television.
