OTPTT ignores the fact that Holmes isn't blue.

I suppose the comedian Carrot Top was in on this conspiracy as well.

The hair color matches after all.

Obama lowered the flags for a couple of weeks for the theater deceased. It does seem mass popular culture obsessive for the Brits to show us the pyramid prancing dandees. I suppose the gay choreographer boss' power and the fact that the happenstance illusions pointed to an evil White played big in UK. Everyone knows that Whites are the fount of all probs in the UK and Canada. If the Batman movie is all Britain and the US have to consider, let the show go on.

Who got any political advantage out of the Holmes shooting? No one.

You see, chilluns, people do false flags in order to reap some tangible benefit.

Where is the political benefit in some clown shooting up a theater? It ain't there.

Leftists, white too, in Britain and Canada enjoy ruminating on the depravity of Whites. Holmes being a sign. They don't miss a chance. If even amongst themselves. Makes them feel better.

Default Judge approves use of 'truth serum' on accused Aurora shooter James Holmes

The proposed use of a "truth drug" has also prompted a critical response from medical experts. Dr August Piper, a Seattle-based psychiatrist who has used sodium amytal to treat patients who were mute or in a catatonic state and who has written research papers on the subject, said that this was "not a royal road to the truth".

"First of all, people can still lie under the influence of amytal. More importantly, the person under the influence of the drug is susceptible to outside suggestion."

Piper also questioned whether such a method could be used to find out the truth of what happened retrospectively. Though short-acting barbiturates might be beneficial in illuminating Holmes's current state of mind, by opening him up to greater communication, it would be of doubtful use in determining his state of mind at the scene of the shooting eight months ago.

"To try and do this would be unlikely to yield useful information, and could pervert the course of justice by rendering the defendant susceptible to pressure," Piper said.

Steven Hoge, a clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University in New York, said that there was "no great evidence to support that narcoanalytic interviews lead to the truth by any means". He said that it was extremely rare to find the technique used in a criminal context.

Hoge has only once conducted a "narcoanalytic interview" himself – in the case of a man who had been so severely drunk he couldn't remember what had happened to him. The hope had been that he might recover memory, though it proved unsuccessful.

Most experimentation, Hoge added, was in similar areas of lost or repressed memories. But it was not clear in the case of the alleged Aurora shooter that memory was an issue that would be relevant in seeking to ascertain a diagnosis of sanity or insanity at the time of the rampage.

"It's hard to see what the value of this procedure would be, unless his memory of the shooting is in question," he said.

..........................................

There are very few recorded instances of "truth drugs" being applied to criminal trials in the US. One such case was the 1959 prosecution in California of Raymond Cartier.

No honorable judge would ever allow a defendant to be placed in a position where suggestions could be planted. That seem the ultimate goal here. They won't even allow traumatized witnesses to be drugged that way. Either one remembers or they don't, that's how the law works.

Obviously this guy's memories don't meet the prosecutor's agenda. This is another source of doubt in a case fraught with doubts. Sandy Hook is another such case, where now there are reports of multiple shooters at that school.

Lawyers for Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes have changed his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity, and a judge won't decide on whether to allow it until later this month.

Attorney Daniel King made the request in court today, saying that the defense now has a diagnosis for Holmes, though he didn't specify what it was.

The judge said that he finds 'good cause' to allow the change in plea, will not make his decision until May 28 - three days before a new hearing begins.

Holmes had bushy hair and beard at Monday's hearing. He didn't speak at all and entered the courtroom with his eyes downcast.



Insanity plea: Holmes' attorney Daniel King speaks as Holmes looks on in this court sketch

The not guilty by reason of insanity plea is widely seen as Holmes' best - and perhaps his only - hope of avoiding the death penalty.

But his lawyers have held off until now, fearing a wrinkle in the law could cripple their ability to raise his mental health as a mitigating factor during the sentencing phase.



Two judges have refused to rule on the constitutionality of the law, saying the attorneys' objections were hypothetical because Holmes had not pleaded insanity.

The defense had little choice but to have Holmes enter the plea and then challenge the law.

Holmes' lawyers announced last week that he would ask to change his plea at Monday's hearing.

Post Family of Colorado theater shooting victim sues companies that sold ammunition to suspect



Lonnie Phillips, Sandy Phillips

Lonnie and Sandy Phillips speak during a news conference on Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2014. The Phillips, parents of Jessica Ghawi, who was killed in the July 20, 2012 Colorado theater shootings, filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing four online retailers of improperly selling ammunition, tear gas, a high-capacity magazine and body armor used in the attack.

DENVER (AP) -- The parents of a woman killed in the Colorado theater shootings filed a lawsuit Tuesday accusing four online retailers of improperly selling ammunition, tear gas, a high-capacity magazine and body armor used in the attack.

The lawsuit alleges it was illegal and negligent to sell the gear to James Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 20, 2012, attack.

It says the companies had no safeguards to keep dangerous people from buying their goods.

"It was highly foreseeable to (the) defendants that their potential customers included persons with criminal intent, including persons such as James Holmes," the lawsuit says.

The suit was filed by Sandy and Lonnie Phillips of San Antonio, whose daughter, Jessica Ghawi (GAH'-wee), was among the dead.

"We're putting them on notice," Lonnie Phillips said at a news conference in Denver. "We're coming after you."

The lawsuit renews the gun control debate in the courts at a time when advocates of tighter restrictions have been relatively quiet in state and national politics, wary of motivating gun-rights voters to turn out in greater numbers.

After Colorado passed gun control laws in 2013, voters ousted two lawmakers who supported the measures. A third resigned to avoid a possible recall.

Ghawi, 24, was an aspiring sports journalist who had moved from Texas a year earlier. Less than two months before her death, she had survived a shooting at a Toronto mall that left two people dead and several wounded.

Her parents are represented by attorneys for the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence and two Denver lawyers.

Named as defendants in the case are Lucky Gunner of Knoxville, Tennessee, Bullet Proof Body Armor of Tempe, Arizona, BTP Arms of New Oxford, Pennsylvania, and the Sportsman's Guide of South St. Paul, Minnesota. None of the companies immediately returned telephone messages seeking comment.

The lawsuit says Holmes bought at least 4,300 rounds of ammunition from Lucky Gunner's website, bulkammo.com, and 700 rounds of ammunition and a 100-round magazine from the Sportsman's Guide website.

It says Holmes bought two tear gas grenades from BTP Arms and four pieces of body armor from bulletproofbodyarmorhq.com.

The 100-round magazine was one factor that prompted Colorado in 2013 to ban the sale of magazines that hold more than 15 rounds. Investigators have said Holmes' 100-round magazine jammed during the attack, preventing even more bloodshed.

Prosecutors said Holmes also bought two handguns, a shotgun, a semi-automatic rifle and other equipment from other retailers that are not named as defendants.

Dave Kopel, research director for the Independence Institute, a conservative-leaning Colorado think tank, said the suit will have a difficult time overcoming a federal law that protects the legal manufacture and sale of weapons and ammunition.

Previous lawsuits have attempted but failed to overturn the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, said Kopel, an attorney who represents 53 Colorado sheriffs trying to overturn Colorado's 2013 gun laws. They are appealing a federal judge's ruling against them.

Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. His trial is scheduled to begin with jury selection on Dec. 8.

Holmes' attorneys do not comment publicly because of a gag order issued by the judge in the criminal case against him.

Every time something happens in modern Amerikwa, someone has to make money off it.

We are living in shallow, trashy times my friends.

Does this mean Boeing and American airlines could be sued for 9-11? They did supply the planes.

Parents of woman slain in Colorado cinema massacre sue ammo supplier


If these parents trying to profits from the death of the child and/or exploiting their child's death to advance their poetical agenda are successful in restricting access to life productive devices, they should be held accountable for their actions.

The fact is, these parents are responsible for their daughter's death, far more than the ammo supplier, because they failed to educate, train and supply their daughter with the knowledge, skills and life saving devices of she needed to defend herself. Shame on them, shame!

James Holmes trial: Batman cinema gunman guilty of murder



Quote:
A man who killed 12 people and injured 70 others when he opened fire in a crowded Colorado cinema in 2012 has been found guilty of murder.

James Holmes, 27, was found guilty on multiple counts of murder and attempted murder for the shooting at a midnight premiere of a Batman film near Denver.

He had pleaded not guilty due to insanity - his defence said he was controlled by his schizophrenia.

Prosecutors may now seek the death penalty for the neuroscience student.

Post Jurors spare life of Aurora gunman James Holmes



Colorado movie rampage gunman James Holmes was spared the death penalty and will serve life with no parole for killing a dozen people and wounding 70 inside a packed midnight screening of a Batman film three years ago, the jury in his murder trial has found.

The panel of nine women and three men found the 27-year-old guilty on all counts last month.

They were not unanimous, however, on the death penalty, which means Holmes receives an automatic life sentence with no possibility of parole.

The jurors reached a verdict on Friday after watching a video of the body-strewn cinema recorded after the massacre .

The jury already convicted the former neuroscience graduate student on all charges from the July 2012 mass shooting in the Denver suburb of Aurora.

The panel then had to decide if Holmes would be executed, or serve life with no chance of parole.

Crime scene video

Arapahoe County district court judge Carlos Samour earlier granted the panel’s request for a television and DVD player so they could watch a 45-minute crime scene video from the cinema that was played during the trial.

The judge granted the request over the objections of the defence, but told the jury they could only view the video once.

The proceedings against Holmes began in late April and reached penalty phase closing arguments on Thursday after 60 days of trial, 306 witnesses, and the introduction of nearly 2,700 pieces of evidence.

In his speech to the jury, district attorney George Brauchler said justice for Holmes meant execution for the “horror and evil” he wrought inside the crowded cinema.

During the trial, dozens of wounded survivors testified about how they had tried to hide from the gunman’s hail of bullets, some of them steel-penetrating rounds, or stumbled over the bodies of loved ones as they tried to flee.

Defence lawyer Tamara Brady asked jurors whether they were ready to sign the death warrant of a mentally ill person and said that they would have to live with the decision for the rest of their lives.

While the jury has already rejected Holmes’ plea of insanity, Ms Brady said all the doctors the panel had heard from in court had agreed that he was seriously mentally ill.

Holmes has remained mostly expressionless throughout the trial, occasionally turning to look when a photograph of himself appears on a court television.

The defence says he suffers schizophrenia, and that his “aloof or distracted” demeanor is caused by anti-psychosis drugs that treat, but do not cure, the disease.

Batman screening

Holmes, who had no previous criminal record, bought a ticket for the screening of The Dark Knight Rises before slipping out to his car behind the building and changing into what prosecutors called a “kill suit” of ballistic helmet, gas mask and head-to-toe body armor.

He returned and threw a teargas canister into the cinema, then opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle, pump action shotgun and pistol.

Holmes has declined to testify in his own defence, or to
