“In February, the psychologist said Mr. Loughner, a diagnosed schizophrenic, remained incompetent to stand trial.”

There’s a high likelihood that the guilty plea will be a plea of guilty by reason of insanity.

I don’t think that there is any such plea.

An acceptance of insanity by the court precludes guilt.
