FORT HOOD, Texas — A military officer on Thursday rejected a defense request to keep an upcoming hearing about last year’s Fort Hood massacre closed, saying the public and the victims’ families have a right to hear testimony from those affected by the attack.
Col. James L. Pohl said keeping next month’s hearing open would preserve the integrity of the military justice system.
