Default Not-guilty plea expected in GI's shooting

(CNN) -- A man accused of shooting and paralyzing a U.S. Army soldier at a homecoming party intends to plead not guilty to all charges at his arraignment Thursday, his attorney said. Ruben Jurado, 19, faces a charge of attempted murder in the shooting of Army Spc. Christopher Sullivan on Friday night at a homecoming party in Sullivan's native San Bernardino, California. He also faces charges on "allegations involving premeditation and the use and discharge <a href="http://www.monsterbeats-online.org/monster-beats-studio-steve-jobs-apple-blackwhite-headphones-p-5.html"><strong>monster beats by dr.dre studio headphone Black/White</strong></a> of a firearm causing great bodily injury," the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office said. Jurado "will deny any and all allegations," defense attorney Michael Holmes said Wednesday. "We anticipate receiving the initial discovery of police reports and any other evidence that the district attorney has at this time." Holmes noted that the court "allows video arraignment" but said he and Jurado had "discussed this process, and he wanted to be present in court during the entire process." The party in Sullivan's honor was to celebrate his recent return to California from Kentucky, where he was stationed while recovering from wounds sustained in a suicide bombing a year ago in Afghanistan. The <a href="http://www.monsterbeats-online.org/monster-beats-studio-ferrarilimited-edition-headphones-p-25.html"><strong>limited edition studio ferrari-limited edition headphone</strong></a> bombing killed five members of his unit and left him with a cracked collarbone and brain damage, according to the San Bernardino County Sun. Sullivan received the Purple Heart, the newspaper reported. At the party, Sullivan was shot twice after an argument and physical confrontation with Jurado, who fled the scene, according to police and witnesses. The fight broke out after Jurado and Sullivan's younger brother began arguing about football, the brothers' mother, Suzanne Sullivan, said. Jurado turned himself in to authorities in Chino Hills, California, on Monday afternoon, said Lt. Gwendolyn Waters. On Tuesday, Sullivan's mother said he was "on 100% life support." "He can move his head and he responds through nodding and blinking to us. His eyes aren't always open, but we try to encourage him to do so as often as possible," Suzanne Sullivan said. The mother said her family is having a difficult time coming to terms <a href="http://www.monsterbeats-online.org/monster-beats-studio-highdefinition-grey-headphones-p-46.html"><strong>Cheap studio headphone grey</strong></a> with what happened. "He once told me that if defending this country takes his life, so be it," she said. "But to see he survived that, and now for this to happen to him, just breaks my heart." CNN's Stella Chan and Carey Bodenheimer contributed to this report.
