Description
James Eagan Holmes is the accused perpetrator of a mass shooting that killed 12 people at a Century movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, on July 20, 2012.
Holmes was hospitalized after attempting suicide several times while in jail in November 2012. He is currently held without bail and has entered a plea of not guilty on March 12, 2013. He has no known previous criminal record. His attorneys had been expected to enter a plea of diminished capacity, but they told the presiding judge in the preliminary hearing that they were not ready to decide on such a step yet, and needed more time to review the massive documentation on the case. Colorado State District Court Judge William Blair Sylvester, who was the trial judge overseeing the preliminaries, also was concerned about moving too fast in proceeding to the arraignment, which could produce further issues supporting an eventual appeal.
On March 12, 2013, a Colorado judge entered a plea of not guilty when Holmes' attorney claimed that his client was not prepared to enter a plea.
