(KCEN) -- The accused Fort Hood shooter trial has been scheduled to start on July 1, 2013.
It has been nearly four years since the shooting happened on post. Maj. Nidal Hasan is accused of opening fire on Fort Hood in November 2009.
Thirteen people were killed and 32 others wounded in the incident.
A pretrial hearing was held on post today where a change of venue request was one of the issues discussed.
A new judge has been brought in to oversee the trial after the first judge assigned, Judge Gregory Gross, was removed because of an appearance of bias.
The case was held up for months because of many issues, including whether or not Hasan would be allowed to wear a beard in court.
Col. Tara Osborn is now the judge overseeing the case.
