Judge orders more psychiatric care for Loughner (Reuters)

[Yahoo! News]

Reuters - A federal judge on Wednesday ordered Tucson shooting suspect Jared Loughner to undergo four more months of psychiatric treatment in an effort to make him mentally competent for trial.

'HE FEELS REMORSEFUL'

The courtroom was packed with victims and their families, along with members of the media.
Psychologist Christina Pietz, who is treating Loughner, testified that although Loughner has improved in the roughly 60 days he has been on anti-psychotic and other medications, he remains incompetent to stand trial.

It will take about eight months more for Loughner, who remains extremely depressed, to be restored to competency, Pietz said.

Although his delusions, including hearing messages from a television and thoughts that his lawyers are blackmailing him, have subsided, he is still delusional, she told the court.
