Loughner entered the courtroom Monday handcuffed and wearing a tan inmate uniform. His head was shaved and he had a cut on his right temple.
The 22-year-old is accused of killing six people on Saturday and injuring 14 others, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

The courtroom was under heavy guard with about a dozen U.S. marshals.
