James Holmes To Plead Insanity
Last July, James Holmes opened fire with a gun in an Aurora, Colorado movie theatre. Twelve people were killed and seventy injured. He planned the massacre in detail and knew exactly what he was doing when he did it. Yesterday, his lawyers said they were going to change James Holmes' plea to not guilty by reason of insanity. I think anyone who is willing to kill hundreds of people is insane, but I don't think it should be an excuse to not have to go to prison. Yes, he would go to a hospital. Why? Because someone thinks he can be fixed and then someday get out and do it all over again? I think there is a big difference between someone like James Holmes and then someone who is mentally challenged and commits a crime and really does not have the mental capacity to determine right from wrong. I don't see any of that with this guy. I just see a guy who wanted to kill some people and is now trying to get away with it.
