"Colo. theater trial delayed again"  Associated Press   July 10, 2014

DENVER — The trial in the Colorado theater shootings was delayed again Wednesday because the second sanity evaluation of defendant James Holmes will take more time than expected.

Burying it.

Aurora Anniversary 

Forgotten now.

The trial had been scheduled to start with jury selection on Oct. 14. Arapahoe County District Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. didn’t immediately set a new date.

A report on the evaluation had been due Aug. 15, but the state mental hospital said it would need until Oct. 15, one day after jury selection was to begin.

Samour said he had little choice but to grant the extension.

He said he would set a new trial date at a hearing on July 22, which will be two years and two days after the shootings.

Holmes pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to charges of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 20, 2012, attack in the Denver suburb of Aurora. More than 400 people were watching a midnight showing of ‘‘The Dark Knight Rises’’ at the time.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

It’s the third time Holmes’s trial has been pushed back.
