Mavy Stoddard, who lost her husband in the massacre in Arizona last year that severely wounded then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, plans to be in a federal courtroom this week to see whether her prayers will be answered by a guilty plea from the man accused of the crime.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, other survivors of the Tucson shooting rampage and numerous others will come together in the close-knit southern Arizona city on Jan. 8 to commemorate the one-year mark of that tragic day and remember those who died.
