Despite high expectations that his defense team would enter a “not guilty by reason of insanity” plea, Judge William Sylvester was forced to enter a “not guilty” plea on behalf of James Holmes on charges related to last summer’s Century 17 theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado. While Holmes’ attorneys objected to the judge’s decision, prosecutors welcomed the plea, saying that Holmes and his team “had eight months to get to this point.” Prosecutors will announce on April 1 whether or not they intend to seek the death penalty, and the trial is currently scheduled to begin August 5, 2013. (Photo via RJ Sangosti/Denver Post) source
