PHOENIX -- Prosecutors and defense lawyers have agreed that the federal case against the suspect in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will be held in Tucson, at least for now.

The case against Jared Lee Loughner was moved to Phoenix after federal judges in Tucson recused themselves because a fellow judge died in the attack.

Loughner was arraigned Monday in Phoenix. Prosecutors then requested the move so victims and witnesses would not have to drive there.

The deal doesn't prevent future requests for moves.

The defense doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in Gila Bend of getting Loughner off on the facts of the case. She has to go for a biased jury or a verdict of Guilty but Insane.

Both of those stand a better chance of happening in Tucson than in Phoenix.

What does the title mean, “Moves”?? Didn’t the atrocity happen in Tucson? Then, HOSW can it “move” there?

The 2nd sentence pretty much sums it up if you care to delve that far.
