Fort Hood Suspect's Beard Case at Appeals Court
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- An Army appeals court is set to hear arguments about an issue that's delaying the murder trial for the suspect in the Fort Hood shooting rampage: his beard.
Maj. Nidal Hasan has appealed the trial judge's order that he must be either clean-shaven or forcibly shaved before his court-martial.
The Army psychiatrist says the order violates his religious rights because his Muslim faith requires him to grow a beard.
The U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals at Fort Belvoir in Virginia will hear from government attorneys and Hasan's lawyers Thursday. Government attorneys have said the judge is allowed to enforce the Army rule that prohibits beards.
Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted in the 2009 attack that killed 13 people at the Texas Army post.

Rogers County holds off on certifying tax election
May 22, 2013 12:30 GMT
CLAREMORE, Okla. (AP) -- The Rogers County Election Board has voted to not certify results of a recent sales tax election after a resident filed a complaint alleging the county didn't give proper legal notice of the election.
Voters in Rogers County approved a 1-cent sales tax during a May 14 election. But a resident filed a challenge to the election results, saying the county didn't properly publish a legal notice of the election in a county newspaper before the vote.
The Claremore Daily Progress reports (http://bit.ly/13HOCr8 ) that the election board voted Tuesday to not certify the election results until after a hearing is held next week on the complaint. The hearing is set for May 28 before District Judge Dwayne Steidley.
