appointed psychiatrist is expected to take the stand to testify that after more than a year of treatment in a mental facility, loughner is competent to enter a plea. now, if u.s. district judge larry burns agrees with that assessment, they move to a plea hearing which loughner will whenter a plea of guilty. doing this he avoids the federal death penalty and will receive life in prison. this is why the government would make a move like this. so often what you find is people say, well how many years will it be while they sit on death row, three meals a die, tax dollars involved? and then, sitting around waiting. is there a possibility this case could be reversed for some reason, technical reason, legal reason because of the insanity defense? was it used correctly? or the jury instructions correct? was there an error made by the judge? all of those things are gone. reporter: now a lot of this does depend on loughner s behavior today,
