Jared Lee Loughner walked into a federal courtroom in Tucson today with a dazed expression on his face.

He’s been undergoing psychiatric treatment at the federal prison in Springfield since May after erupting in the courtroom.

In court today a government psychologist testified about his mental state — saying Loughner should continue to receive psychiatric care to make him well enough to stand trial.

The Doctor says Loughner has been kept separate from other inmates at the federal facility in Southwest Missouri, and believes that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords died in the shooting. She says Loughner also has several imaginary friends, and that his television was removed from his cell after only half an hour of checking in he believed he was receiving messages from it.
