The first case made national news. I have not heard of the second case involving the taxi. But the trial of the perpetrators will slowly vanish into the mists whereas the trial of Loughner will remain headline news for two simple reasons. The obvious reason is the fact of the attack being on a Congresswoman. The second being the fact, I guess also obvious, that he used a gun. The crimes involved are all equally heinous but that gun will keep reporters riveted to the story for a long, long time.1.
