>>/45412/ This is interesting. Gaby Gifford was backing John Roll.
On the 21st of December, 2010, Judge Roll sent a follow-up email to Judge Kozinski. Attached to his email was a letter of support from Gabrielle Giffords - who was also shot (in the head but survived and is making remarkable progress) during the January 8th rampage - and one of her Congressional colleagues. At the time of his death, the need for more judges in southern Arizona remained an open issue.
