1. James Holmes

4. He has no known criminal record prior to the shooting. He was hospitalized after attempting suicide a few times while in prison. He is held without bail and entered a plea of not guilty on March 12, 2013. His attorney had been expected to enter a plea of diminished capacity, which is pretty much an insanity plea. On March 27, 2013 he pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty and then on June 4, 2013 he pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. The next trial is scheduled for October 2014. ( no popular culture )

5. I believe Holmes was just a complete loner. According to research, he had a miserable love life. He never had a girlfriend and even before the shooting he tried to find love and sex on an adult casual sex website. He was rejected by all of the women he contacted. These women were looking for cheap, anonymous sex to begin with. His actions were the results from his social isolation and lack of love.
