James
Holmes has been charged with 24 counts of murder by Colorado
prosecutors. Holmes is the man accused of killing 12 people and injuring
58 others at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado.
He
was also charged with 116 counts of attempted murder and possession of
an explosive device, after police discovered his apartment was booby
trapped to kill officers that entered his apartment.
Unlike
Holmes’ first court appearance, cameras were not allowed in the
courtroom by the judge. District Chief Judge Williams Sylvester said the
coverage could interfere with Holmes’ right to a fair trial.
The
24-year-old former neuroscience student is not expected to enter a plea
in the courtroom, and will do so verbally or through his attorney at a
later time.
