Jared Loughner, the 22-year-old accused Tucson shooter, had his arraignment listening to in federal courtroom in Phoenix, accounts The AZ Republic. Clad in orange convict jumpsuit and shackles, Loughner alternated between strange facial smirks and outrageous bouts of inappropriate frivolity as the hearing was in progress. Defense lawyer Clarke asked U.S. District Judge Larry Burns to enter a plea of merely "not guilty" for her client.
Plea from Loughner comes with smirks and frivolity
During the listening to, Loughner went from scrunching his face to laughing openly within the courtroom. Clarke has not talked yet about Loughner's ability to stand trial.
You will find a few charges that Loughner has on him right now. One is for attempted assassination of a member of Congress or Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Two counts of attempted murder of employees of the federal government, Pam Simon and Ron Barber, are also on that list. In addition, Assistant United States Attorney Wallace Kleindienst told Judge Burns that further charges against Loughner are anticipated in 30 days to address the murders of United States District Judge John Roll and Giffords aide Gabe Zimmerman.
During Monday's arraignment listening to, the charges were waived by lawyers.
March nine could be when Loughner goes back to court
Court could be seeing Jared Loughner for a status conference soon. Tucson or Phoenix can be used for it. The dates for Loughner's trial will be the agenda for most of it.
Due to the murder of federal employees and civilians Phyllis Schneck, Dorwin Stoddard, Dorothy Morris and Christina Taylor Green, Loughner may be facing the death penalty. Bias has been the reason why AZ federal judges have all taken themselves off the situation. The Tucson shooting case could be done by another judge. Judge Burns traveled from San Diego to Phoenix into order to preside over the Loughner case.
