The Arizona Republic EXCERPT:
The judge in the case against accused Tucson shooter Jared Loughner has
suggested a September trial date, but Loughner's defense attorney wants to push the trial back to January 2013, citing the need to gather mitigating evidence to save
Loughner from a potential death penalty.
Loughner, 22, is charged with 49 countsrelated to the Jan. 8 murders of six people
and wounding of 13 more, including U.S.Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, outside a Tucson-
area supermarket where Giffords was meeting with constituents.
Loughner will appear in a Tucson courtroomon Wednesday to be arraigned on the new
charges. U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns also intends to set a trial date at that
hearing. In earlier court documents, Burns indicated that he would set the date of Sept.
20.
At least 14 of the counts make Loughner eligible for the death penalty, although a decision by prosecutors as to whether to seek it is likely months away.
In federal cases, the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., decides whether to file a notice of intent to seek the death penalty.
END EXCERPT
It's going to take her 2 friggin years to say he's crazy? Right.
