After all the Arizona federal judges recused themselves in presiding over the trial of mass-shooter Jared Loughner, the bench turned to San Diego.
U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns, a 2003 appointee of President George W. Bush, has been appointed to preside over the trial, the Arizona Republic reported. Of course, it’s unclear with all the eye witnesses whether the case will ever go to trial.
The paper also reported that Judge Roslyn O. Silver will replace John Roll as chief judge of Arizona’s U.S. District Courts. Roll was one of six people killed in the shooting.
