And that's exactly what everyone was looking forward to, justice. On April 9th, 2010, about five months after the shooting, Nidal Hasan was transferred from the hospital to the Bell County Jail. And if convicted, he was facing the death penalty. So his legal team spent the next few weeks trying to get him to understand the errors in his radical Islamic ideology.

Essentially, they wanted to de-radicalize him. They even brought in a leader from his mosque and a Muslim U.S. Army chaplain to speak with him every single day. And eventually that summer, Nadal finally spoke about the shooting with a reporter in a prison phone call. Here is what he had to say.

Throughout his time in jail, Nadal seemed to have gone back and forth on whether or not he supported his actions that day. On some days he showed zero remorse. Then on other days, it was reported that he fasted for each of the victims. He said that he did this just in case he misinterpreted his mission that day. And if that was the case,

He didn't want to be punished in the afterlife, so he thought fasting would help. Interestingly, Nadal also fired his high profile attorney, John Galligan. He said it was because he wanted to be represented by military lawyers from the Army Trial Defense Service. But on July 20th, 2010, he was arraigned in the courtroom without his defense attorney present.

Now in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the chest down, Nadal wheeled himself into the courtroom wearing a camouflage army uniform. He then stood in front of the judge and opted not to enter a plea. And it was here where his trial was set for March 5th, 2012.

Nadal's cousin, Nader Hassan, had been a successful criminal defense attorney in Virginia when the shooting happened. But when people realized he was related to the shooter, he quickly lost most of his business. He would later tell the New York Times, "'Our phones went completely quiet, dead. "'It was devastating since we relied on referrals.

"'I lost dozens of prospective clients "'and it still happens.'" In addition, Nader also lost his volunteer coaching position at a local high school. But in 2010, he decided to do something positive and set up the Nawal Foundation, a nonprofit that was established to help Muslim Americans who might be struggling with internal forces to commit violence in the name of Islam.

Eventually, the foundation caught the attention of a Fort Hood victim's family member. It was Dr. Michael Cahill's daughter, Carrie. She contacted Nader and told him that she liked his message. And later on, the two would travel the country and speak to people about their stories. Carrie Cahill now sits on the foundation's board.
