will james holmes ever see the light of day?

Probably, look at John Hinckley. Premeditated assault on the President, and now he gets 10 day unsupervised visits at his mother's house.

It's a load of crap. But he will see the light of day again, probably within 15 years.

IMHO his sentence should be long enough to keep him locked away for the rest of his natural life. 500 years sounds like the right start, if the court can stack the sentence to 1,000 years ... better!

The man is pure, concentrated EVIL. The death penalty is too good for him. Life in prison with absolutely NO chance of ever being released would be true justice. It's not going to happen, but that is what justice would be in this case.

His lawyers will come up with some wrinkle ... "stress induced temporary insanity caused by the tough college program he was in", "Didn't get a pony for his fifth birthday and always resented it." "Just found out that Santa Claus does not exist and was really mentally distressed over it." "Really thought he was the Joker and that his actions were part of a movie being filmed". "was trying to prove that he could change the past using "temporal illusions" as stated in the video from summer camp".

Rest assured, they will come up with some line of crapola ... and the domestic terrorist that is James Holmes will be back on the street before you know it.

Since Colorado does not have the option for the jury to consider a verdict of "guilty but insane" the truth is that if they buy into an insanity defense he could be sent to a psychiatric hospital and released in as little as six months. If he can play the role and the jury buys it then stage a miraculous recovery it is 100% possible. If he were hospitalized under a "not guilty by reason of insanity verdict" and could at some point convince those holding him that he had regained his sanity they would have no choice but to release him.

i detect it exciting that maximum of human beings are speedy to call this guy an "fool" for posing this question!! i do no longer beleive he replaced right into a CIA operative, nor do I beleive he would be "taking section in his new id" I do even however have self assurance that this entire element looks suspect. Why after happening a murderous rampage could he leave all of his weapons in the back of?? If he had already killed the 12 he had why could he supply up there?? Why disarm? He had a 2nd glock and a inventory pile of ammo in his automobile.. yet for some reason he desperate it looked like an superior play to place himself vulnerable to being captured.. Then without putting up a combat he makes a decision to tell the police his residence is rigged with explosives.. Why!? ... Why could somebody rig there residence to blow up while the door opens the door? To kill the 1st individual in precise? yet makes a decision to foil his very own plan.. Then the attention witness debts of somebody propping open the door.. And why have been the police so speedy to assert he replaced right into a lone-gunman??.. while he stopped cooperating after telling them concerning to the explosives and without the possibility to hunt his residence, how ought to they verify he acted on my own!!? there are a number of holes right here! little doubt this act of violence will help bypass a UN small palms treaty.. only like lower back in 01 some planes hit some homes and immediately we get the patriot act. to no longer point out that lower back in ninety 5 after having hardship getting an anti-terrorism bill surpassed a bombing in Oklahoma sped it strait via .. some issues dont upload up!! supply up listening to what you pay attention on the information and initiate paying interest on your environment! issues are not as they supply the impact of being!

it will take 10 to 20 years before anything happens to him
