If doctors conclude they can't restore his mental competency, the judge would have to decide whether the suspect can be restored. how does that work? a judge can make a decision that a doctor cant? i am not saying what loughner did was right, by all means he is guilty and should be sentenced accordingly, but for a judge to make this decision over qualified doctors shows how our system of justice is a train wreck

Arthur you make a valid point.
Our justice system should already have this loser hanging from a tree with a noose around his neck.
