Airing Date Jan.10, 2011 Tucson Shooting Hero Joe Zamudio Sets Ed Schultz Right On Owning A Pistol
On Monday, Jared Loughner, the alleged shooter in the Jan. 8 rampage that left 6 dead and 13 injured in Tucson, Ariz., was arraigned in federal court in Phoenix. He faces five federal charges: attempted assassination of a Congress member, two counts of intent to kill federal employees and two counts of killing a federal employee. More from the interview with KPBS here: ow.ly Judge Larry Alan Burns was selected to preside over the Loughner case by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals after all of Arizona's federal judges recused themselves from the case. Burns was appointed as a federal judge in 2003 by President George W. Bush, and has presided over several high-profile cases included one involving drug cartel leader Javier Arellano-Felix.
The disturbing photograph of Jared L. Loughner that was released after his arrest, as well as the writings and statements attributed to him, seemed to point to a man with a mental disorder. Even if that is found to be true, the lawyers for Mr. Loughner, the 22-year-old college dropout who has been charged in the Tucson shootings, may find it difficult to mount a successful insanity defense. The rules regarding such a legal strategy were tightened over the years in the wake of the verdict for John W. Hinckley Jr., who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. (New York Times) Victoria Toensing has written extensively on the insanity defense and is interviewed by LBN host Scott Drake.
