James Eagan Holmes appeared in court for the
first time Monday July 23, 2012, after he was arrested last week in the
deaths of
12 people in a mass shooting at a sold-out movie theater in
Aurora, Colo.
The hearing, which is intended to advise Holmes, 24, of his
rights. Official charges aren't filed at a so-called
"advisement" hearing; under Colorado law, prosecutors will now
have 72 hours to file charges, but in especially complicated
cases, judges have the leeway to give them more time.
The hearing comes as it was learned that investigators had found
a Batman mask inside Holmes' apartment, a law enforcement
official told The Associated Press on Sunday.
