The trial of James Holmes, the Aurora theater shooter.

Do I smell a stink or what?!?

Holmes' shrink told campus police more than a MONTH ahead of the event that he presented a danger! Nothing significant was done.

I hope this causes a full review of how college police investigate and work with real LEO on violence, rape, assault and other issues.

May be silly, but the judge sure as hell made his point. There will be absolutely no possibility of a parole.

Pfft... with good behavior, he'll be out in 6 lifetimes plus 1659 years.

Newly released photos of James Holmes Apartment and Aurora Theater aftermath

Not embedding, as a couple of the images are NSFW (some with a bit of blood, one with a semi-lewd poster in his apartment)

What are those things on the floor of his living room? Bomb-making materials?

Edit: Apparently it was. It was supposed to explode and set his apartment on fire.

My imagination is failing me. What's the point of rigging a PC fan (with maybe a heatsink) in and around explosives?

Aurora Theater Killer Assaulted in Jail - The Daily Beast

Unfortunately ...

Holmes was not injured, according to a corrections official, when 27-year-old Mark C. Daniels attacked him and “took some swings” as the pair were being escorted by guards down a hallway on Oct. 8.

Hopefully the next assault attempt is more successful.

I'm surprised that this is news material. I would figure he would be assaulted on a regular basis while in jail.

This story just showed up again for some reason on Yahoo.
I didn't notice it happened in October.
Still, good to read he was attacked. Though I am against people sending the assaulting prisoner money.

Why, honey buns and boxers are expensive?

Howsabout 'in kind' gifts? Years (decades?) ago some prisoner tried to set Charles Manson on fire. I read that hundreds of people sent Bic lighters to him (not Manson, the other guy). I doubt the prison staff let them get to the intended recipient, but hey, with a gift, it's the thought that counts.

I have always said for years that if someone hurt my wife or one of my kids and ended up in jail before I could get to him, I would visit the prison regularly with cartons of cigarettes and become friends with the biggest meanest guys I could find.
