Suspect faces judge in deadly Arizona shooting
The man charged in the January Tucson mass shooting that wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed six people faces a Monday arraignment in Phoenix on federal charges. The case could move venue, involve an insanity defense, and seek the death penalty. Giffords’ condition is improving in Houston as she undergoes therapy and possible transfer for rehabilitation. Authorities consider the probe straightforward with Loughner acting alone. debates over mental competency and potential penalties hinge on court rulings in federal and state venues.
