The accused of killing pleads not guilty Tucson

Jared Lee Loughna, the accused of perpetrating the January 8 shooting that killed six people in the U.S. city of Tucson (Arizona), has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and two of his assistants. His hands and feet and a smile on the face, the accused remained silent during the hearing while his lawyer, Judy Clarke, the allegation was reading yesterday in federal court in Phoenix.

The statement referred to three of the five federal charges to which Loughna facing at the moment: one for attempted murder of a congressman and two of attempted murder of U.S. employees. In addition, the young person is charged with two counts of murder of federal employees, District Judge John Roll and advisor to Congresswoman Gabriel Zimmerman.

Alongside them, four others died, including nine years small Christina Green, and 14 wounded. The indictment states that the federal charges are "just the beginning" and that Lougner also faces several state charges for the killings and attacks on people who did not work for the government.

Furthermore, research accumulates several samples of his obsession with Giffords, including a letter thanking the congressman own attendance at an event and that he had filled with insults written in pen. Giffords, head injury in the shooting, was moved Friday from the hospital where he was recovering in a Tucson rehab center in Houston (Texas), which is expected to remain several months.

After Loughna first appearance before a judge, two days after the shooting, the prosecutor in Pima-Tucson county to which it belongs, "Barbara Lawall, asked for the death penalty applied. Loughna, 22, remains held without bail Correctional Institution in Phoenix, located 225 kilometers north of Tucson, but his lawyer yesterday asked to be transferred back to that location.
