A U.S. military judge will hear arguments Tuesday on whether to delay the trial of an Army psychiatrist charged in the fatal 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood in Texas — because the defendant grew a beard.

Maj. Nidal Hasan's pre-trial hearing was postponed earlier this month because of the beard, which is contrary to Army regulations. The judge, Col. Gregory Gross, has said he will bar Hasan from the courtroom and force him to watch Tuesday's proceedings through closed-circuit television if he is unshaven.
