Judge won't keep Loughner records confidential

Source: Reuters

A judge has denied a bid by defense lawyers to keep confidential information about Tucson shooting suspect Jared Loughner's behavior while in federal custody.

District Court Judge Larry Burns, in a ruling made public on Thursday, said there is no reason to prohibit the U.S. Bureau of Prisons from releasing to law enforcement and federal prosecutors psychological records and other information about the 22-year-old college dropout.

Loughner's lawyers said such a release would violate the federal government's own guidelines and Loughner's constitutional right to protection from self-incrimination and due process.

4. I believe he bought the ammo from a Wal-Mart, when another one wouldn't sell it to him...

I remember that story floating around after the shooting.
