Court soon doing arraignment for Jared Loughner
The man accused of carrying out the deadly Tucson shooting spree in Arizona, Jared Loughner, is set to appear in federal court for arraignment on Jan. 10. Loughner is 22 years old, reports the New York Times. Five federal charges including murder and attempted murder will be what Loughner is facing in court. There may end up being state charges that he has to face. Terrorism charges may be a possibility too according to Robert Mueller who is the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Loughner has the right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment. That means police and investigators haven't gotten information from him. Judy Clarke, who defended Tim McVeigh of the Oklahoma City bombing, Ted Kaczynski "Unabomber," and even Zacarias Moussaoui who was a 9/11 conspirator, is the federal public defender who will be defending Loughner.
Behavior in past is disturbed
Jared Lee Loughner has a history of strange behavior and outbursts. He was suspended from Pima Community College for disruptive behavior. There were many instanced where he had unruly behavior which required campus police to help. There were at least five of these instances. One of his former professors came forward, according to CBS, and said that when his name was mentioned in connection with the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, it immediately rang a bell. On “The Early Show,” the instructor, Debbie Scheidemantel, recounted an incident that was sparked when Loughner didn’t receive full credit for late assignments. He then said that he deserved full credit for any late assignment. His First Amendment rights dictated it, he said. He was pulled out of class by campus police. There were videos on his YouTube page for Loughner that he put up. They are very odd.
Death penalty in his future
The arraignment will take place in the federal courthouse in Phoenix. The death penalty is on the table for Loughner. If he gets convicted, it is a possibility. In 2005, Timothy McVeigh was executed after being given the death sentence while Clarke defended him.
