James Holmes was involved with brain research and possibly development and testing of brain altering drugs. He was an honor student who apparently began acting very erratically in recent weeks, to the point where the local gun club thought he was completely insane.
The University of Colorado refuses to talk and the judge has issued a gag order. This is very abnormal for a case like this, where the government normally wants to get out information as quickly as possible.
There appears to be a bigger story behind this, which I am guessing is being buried right now.
Colo. judge issues gag order in theater shooting that limits what lawyers can discuss
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Lawyers involved in the Colorado movie theater shooting are limited in how much they can say outside of the courtroom.
Suspect James Holmes made his first court appearance Monday.
After the hearing, the judge issued a so-called gag order that bars attorneys from publicly commenting on matters including evidence, whether a plea deal is in the works or the results of any examination or test.
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — James Holmes spent a year in a small neuroscience doctoral program, surrounded by scientists and roughly three dozen classmates delving into the inner workings of the brain.
The University of Colorado, Denver, isn’t saying if they had any warning signs.
Experts say, however, the intimacy of the program and its focus on the brain may not have been enough for staff and students to detect that Holmes was on a course that police say ended with a deadly rampage at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie.
This is complete crap. The gun club figured out he was insane from a single phone message. Obviously the school had to know something was seriously wrong.
Supported by a prestigious federal grant, Holmes, 24, was in the first year of a program at the Anschutz Medical Campus dedicated to neuroscience, studying such topics as how the brain works or malfunctions or helping develop drugs to treat epilepsy and other disorders.
Brain Experts Who Studied With James Eagan Holmes Won’t Say If They Saw Warning Signs
And what was this nonsense about Obama refusing to speak his name in order to not give him the attention he craves? Holmes is in solitary confinement and is out of his mind. He has no idea what Obama is talking about.
