Hasan Defense Files Appeal on Shaving Order

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- Accused Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan's defense has appealed a military judge's order to have Hasan forcibly shaved.

Now there is a stay in the case until an appeals court makes a decision on whether or not Hasan's beard will be shaved.

His defense has also appealed to overturn past and future contempt charges against Hasan due to wearing a beard in court.

Hasan claims he's keeping the beard for religious reasons.
