California federal judge appointed in Arizona shooting case

A federal judge from California has been appointed to preside over upcoming hearings in the case of Jared Lee Loughner, the accused gunman in Saturday's killing spree in Tucson, Arizona.

Judge Larry Burns is a 2003 Bush appointee serving in the U.S. District Court for Southern California in San Diego.

The next federal hearing in the case is scheduled for January 24 in Phoenix. All federal judges in Arizona have recused themselves from hearing the case after Judge John Roll, the chief federal judge in Arizona, was killed in the shooting.

    And it's over! I don't believe it! The fight is over! Banasy leads 2100 to the neutral corner as Offtopic's trainer throws in the white towel. The challenger, 2100 has upset Offtopic, the champion of the world! This will go down as one of the biggest upsets in boxing history!!! We now take you to our CNN sports correspondent: How do you feel about losing to 2100, Champ? "I give. On to better things."

    I live in California, and believe me the people of Arizona deserve a better choice of judges... They(Calif) don't believe in the death penalty!!
