Politics News Alert: Loughner charged in new 49-count federal indictment
March 4, 2011 2:09:38 PM
----------------------------------------
A federal grand jury in Arizona has indicted accused Tucson gunman Jared Lee Loughner on 49 counts in the January rampage that wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 12 others and left six dead, including a chief federal district judge.
Employing a novel legal argument, the indictment adds 46 federal counts to the three he already faced, on the theory that the crime at the Safeway where Giffords was meeting with constituents occurred on protected federal ground, as if it happened inside Congress.
