CAPE Charter SchoolArchive-It Partner Since: Oct, 2010Organization Type: K-12 Program SchoolsOrganization URL: http://www.camarillocharter.org/ CAPE is a charter school located in Camarillo, California. We focus on an open philosophy that helps foster global, independent, creative thinkers who feel confident in themselves, are willing to take risks, and work cooperatively. We do this by focusing on hands-on education; enabling pupils to become self-motivated, competent, and life-long learners, equipped for the challenges of the 21st Century. We teach Kindergarten through Eighth grade and our Archive-It group is made up of a few dedicated Eighth grade students.We started this process with most of the class listening in on our first teleconference. The students that were interested talked with our teacher, Mrs. Kavon, and joined the group. We met once a week and decided on what topics we wanted to focus on. We have all enjoyed this opportunity to archive our current lives for future generations of teenagers like us. ||||| Mass-shootings suspect Jared Lee Loughner will be making a trip from Phoenix to Tucson soon so federal authorities can obtain samples of his handwriting and compare them with items seized from his home. 
 
 U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns ruled Thursday that Loughner must provide handwriting samples to the FBI within the next seven days in response to a motion filed by prosecutors. 
 
 In their written motion, prosecutors said they intend to "introduce documents found in the defendant's residence which contain handwritten references to the member of Congress the defendant is accused of attempting to assassinate, as well as references to a gun and bullets. Additional notebooks containing handwriting were also found in the defendant's residence." 
 
 Loughner is charged with attempted assassination of a member of Congress in the wounding of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and with two counts of attempted murder of a federal employee in the wounding of Giffords aides Ron Barber and Pam Simon. The shootings occurred Jan. 8 outside a supermarket on Tucson's northwest side. 
 
 More federal charges are expected to be filed, including those alleging Loughner murdered U.S. District Judge John M. Roll and congressional aide Gabe Zimmerman. 
 
 Special agents searched Loughner's Tucson home in the 7700 block of North Soledad Avenue, near North Thornydale and West Magee roads, the afternoon of the shootings. 
 
 Kept inside a safe in the home was an envelope with writing on the outside. 
 
 "I planned ahead," "My assassination" and the name "Giffords" appear on the envelope, along with what appears to be Loughner's signature, FBI Special Agent Tony M. Taylor said in court documents. 
 
 Prosecutors asked that Loughner, 22, be brought to the U.S. Courthouse in Tucson to provide the handwriting samples. 
 
 In other developments, U.S. Attorney Dennis K. Burke and Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall announced the federal case against Loughner must come before any proceedings in state court. 
 
 LaWall has said she intends to seek an indictment against Loughner not only for the federal employees killed or injured in the attack, but for the civilian victims, including those who died: Christina-Taylor Green, 9; Dorwan Stoddard, 76; Phyllis Schneck, 79; and Dorothy Morris, 76. 
 
 In a joint news release, Burke and LaWall said the statute governing Giffords' shooting says state and local jurisdictions must suspend their prosecution until after the federal case is over. 
 
 "As required by the statute, once those charges have been fully prosecuted through the federal court system, Arizona state charges will be prosecuted by the Pima County Attorney's Office. These cases will be tried in sequence and will ensure that all rights of the victims and their families are vindicated," the news release states.

– The long legal road ahead for Jared Lee Loughner is beginning to take shape. Federal prosecutors will get the first crack at him, followed separately by the state and local cases, reports the Los Angeles Times. So far, the 22-year-old faces only three federal charges—for the attempted assassination of Gabrielle Giffords and the attempted murder of two of her aides. Plenty more will follow related to the spree that killed six and wounded 13, including some that carry the death penalty. In another development, the federal judge in the case ruled that Loughner must be escorted from Phoenix to Tucson sometime next week to provide writing samples to the FBI, notes the Arizona Daily Star. Prosecutors hope to eventually match them up against written threats found inside his home.
