BELTON (July 28, 2010)—Maj. Nidal Malk Hasan, who’s held in Bell County, awaiting a hearing that will determine whether he will be tried for deadly the Nov. 5, 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood’s Soldier Readiness Center, is still getting his Army paycheck, but by the end of this month, his bank will no longer accept the deposit.

Bank of America gave Hasan 30-days notice last month that it’s closing his account by the end of July.

Hasan’s attorney, John Galligan, said Wednesday the bank didn’t give a reason for the action, but instead said it was doing so “at their own discretion.”

Hasan's legal team is searching for another bank that will accept the deposit, but at least a half-dozen local banks, including Chase Bank, Compass Bank, Fort Hood National Bank and the Pentagon Federal Credit Union, have refused to allow Hasan to open an account.

The Army requires direct deposit, so without a bank, Hasan would be without a paycheck.

“It’s a testament to the discriminatory and toxic environment that exists toward my client in the Fort Hood and Bell County communities." Galligan said Wednesday

"I'm at a loss as to what justification they have for refusing to allow him to have an account,” he said.

"He's presumed to be innocent, he hasn't been found guilty to any offense. He's never, to the best of my knowledge, violated any requirements established by any bank,” he said.

Hasan was left paralyzed after an exchange of gunfire with two civilian police officers who are credited with ending the deadly shooting rampage.

He’s charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

A military hearing on Oct. 4 will determine whether he will be court-martialed.
