Capital Punishment If Loughner Found Guilty?

Among the charges against Jared Loughner, he is facing two counts of killing federal employees on duty. If found guilty, these charges can result in capital punishment.


If Lougner is found guilty and the death penalty is deemed a acceptable by a jury, he faces lethal injection.


As the Loughner's trial pans out, there should be a national debate on whether or not capital punishment is acceptable in this situation. There should be strong evidence for, due to the nature of the crime and the victims of the crime, which  include a nine year old girl.


Representative Gabrielle Giffords' health will play a key role in the trial as well. She remains in critical condition.

According to the Death Penalty Information Center, the state of Arizona has executed 24 people since 1976.
