Loughner Gets Seven Life Sentences
Plus another 140 years
The man who killed six people and wounded 13 others in an Arizona shooting rampage was sentenced Thursday to seven consecutive life terms, followed by 140 years in prison.
Jared Lee Loughner pleaded guilty three months ago to 19 federal charges under an agreement that guaranteed he would spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The deal called for the dismissal of 30 other charges from the January 2011 attack at a political event for then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords outside a Tucson, Ariz., grocery store.
