Holmes made his first court appearance this morning (Monday, July 23, 2012), finally giving the public a glimpse of the 24-year-old former doctoral candidate since his arrest moments after the gunfire ended early Friday.
Appearing dazed and confused, the man who identified himself to police as “The Joker,” dressed in a maroon jumpsuit over a white T-shirt, with his hair dyed various shades of orange.
Holms sat in court without blinking for long periods and at times, his eyes fluttered, then squeezed tight and reopened in a blank stare. He gave little indication that he was paying attention to the courtroom procedure that ended with assurances that he will continue to be held without bond.

Prosecutors asked the judge, which the court granted, for more time to file charges in the horrific case, in which Holmes allegedly shot 70 people – 12 fatally – early Friday in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater during a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises.”
Holmes is set to be arraigned next week. He was placed on a no-bond hold.

But despite all of the tragedy that came out of Friday’s “Dark Knight” rampage in Aurora there was at least news of one miracle: the unborn child of a severely injured victim of the massacre has so far survived — despite at least one bullet puncturing her mother’s abdomen.
Pregnant 25-year-old Ashley Moser — and the baby she is still carrying in her womb — somehow survived a vicious fusillade from a semiautomatic assault rifle that struck her three times.
But the good news was undercut by tragedy — Moser’s angelic, 6-year-old daughter Veronica had become the youngest victim of crazed, Joker-inspired shooting suspect James Holmes. (read more)
As of late Sunday, at least 17 people remained hospitalized — eight in critical condition — in five area hospitals.

he is doing that to try and claim that insanity plea. he can miss me with it! Fry that bastard!
Unless he gets a tan overnight or is secretly a arab immigrant, he probably will not get the death penalty. The only thing known for sure is that he thought he was the "Joker" and according to that alone, he qualifies as mental. Thank your justice system for that one.
He is just as sick as a person with Cancer, even more because its mental….would we be as hartless to a Cancer patient? God is in control of it all….If he killed my child I would have to ask God to help me forgive because God forgives us daily even when we don’t ask…
?????? Sad, apparently just about any body has a voice on the internet.
what are you talking about?…go back to bed
This is a horrific situation for the victims and their families, as well as for the gunman and his family.
I know first hand what it’s like to deal with an immediate family member (my brother) with Bipolar and Paranoid Schizophrenia, and believe me, it is the most taxing, difficult, emotionally draining situation you could imagine.
What’s worse is that in most states in the US, until someone does something completely outlandish like open fire in a movie theatre or harm themselves, there’s little or no services available to get the person the help they need.
My family struggled and fought to get my brother help…but every time ( >6 to be exact) we attempted to have him admitted under the Baker Act, because of his age ( he was diagnosed at 19 while in college), the hospital refused to hold him longer than 72 hrs because he hadn’t done any irreparable harm to himself or anyone else.
My heart grieves for everyone involved. Mental illness is VERY real.
Just looking into his eyes scares me. It also makes you want to know "What exactly is going on inside that head of his?" It’s like looking in someone’s eyes that has no soul.
this man was geting his docotrate i. med school. he cant b that f* crazy. he smart he knew wat he was doing buying all them guns and bombs Legally and goin into that movie theatre. hopefully jurors see past his mental illness tactic and kill his a** like they shoudve wit casey anthony. i understand people who have had prior diagnosis of mental illness but this f*ca had none!
clearly he is experiencing mk ultra brainwash withdrawls i see the cia written all over this, he will be dead be4 the end of 2012
He is not insane… I wish people would quit believing that… He has a mental condition but it isn’t one that makes him incompetent to stand trial or not know what he did was wrong… Ted Bundy had a personality disorder but it didn’t stop Florida from frying him..
My <3 goes out to the families. That video had me misty eyed. 3men died protecting their sweethearts. And a 6 year old baby. Just heartbreaking.
