\n<\/span><\/p>\nJared Loughner has pleaded not guilty to 49 new charges, including killing a federal judge and wounding a US congresswoman, in an attack in Arizona.<\/p>\n
Mr Loughner, 22, is charged in federal court with the murder of John Roll, the attempted killing of Democrat Gabrielle Giffords and dozens of other counts.<\/p>\n
Six were killed in the attack; Ms Giffords was shot in the head and is undergoing intensive physical therapy.<\/p>\n
Mr Loughner is expected to face additional state charges in the attack.<\/p>\n
If convicted on the charges against him, he could face the death penalty.<\/p>\n
Mr Loughner, who had been rejected by the US military and suspended from college over concerns for his mental health, has been in jail since the 8 January attack on Ms Giffords’ constituency event at a store in Tucson, Arizona.<\/p>\n
A federal grand jury returned its new 49-count indictment last week, superseding one returned in January.<\/p>\n
Most of the charges Mr Loughner faces relate to the killing of a federal employee; use of a firearm to commit a violent crime, cause injury or death; and injuring or causing death to participants at a federally protected activity.<\/p>\n
Ms Giffords has made what doctors call remarkable progress, and is undergoing a course of intensive rehabilitation at Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital in Houston, the Texas city where her husband Mark Kelly works as a Nasa astronaut.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
