Accused Tucson gunman Jared Lee Loughner has been indicted on 49 counts including murder and attempted murder that stem from a shooting that left six people dead and critically wounded Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The new indictment, returned by a federal grand jury Thursday March 3, includes those three charges and adds murder charges connected to the deaths of John M. Roll and Gabriel M. Zimmerman. He also faces charges in the deaths of Dorothy J. Morris, Phyllis C. Schneck, Dorwan C. Stoddard .Nine-year-old Christina-Taylor Green was among those killed in the shooting. The indictment carries a potential death sentence if convicted, Burke added, although prosecutors have not said yet whether they will seek the death penalty.
The article was somewhat confusing and unorganized. It repeated the same information twice and somewhat confusingly. Many of the comments were on the prospect if he should suffer the death penalty. Normally, I don't like the use of the death penalty because of the possibility of the accused being innocent, but this time this man is definitely guilty and I believe he should be put to death. Also there were some comments relating him to conservatives, namely the Tea Party. As little as I like the Tea Party, that isn't really fair I believe it is wrong to relate the two.
