From the Associated Press: "Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords,
partially blind, her right arm paralyzed and limp, came face to face
Thursday with the man who tried to kill her last year, standing beside
her husband as he spoke of her struggles to recover from being shot in
the head. 'Her life has been forever changed.
Plans she had for our family and her career have been immeasurably
altered,' said astronaut Mark Kelly, both he and his wife staring at the
shooter inside a packed courtroom. 'Every day is a continuous struggle
to do those things she once was so good at.'"
The article continues about the prison sentence: "Jared Lee Loughner, 24, was then ordered
to serve seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years in federal
prison for the January 2011 shooting rampage that killed six people and
wounded 13 others, including Giffords, outside a grocery store in
Tucson, Ariz. Loughner pleaded guilty under an
agreement that guarantees he will spend the rest of his life in prison
without the possibility of parole. He avoids a federal death sentence,
although state prosecutors could still decide to try him."
