Where is james holmes being detained

As a Colorado taxpayer and a Coloradoan who had to bear the impact of his mass murder, this guy should be serving a sentence in Colorado. And if not, we should know why and where he is.

Holmes, who is serving 12 consecutive life sentences plus more than 3, years extra, was transferred out of state in January , a few months after he was attacked at a maximum-security prison in Colorado in an incident that also injured a guard.

Holmes was sentenced in August for the Aurora theater shooting. Holmes was housed at the Colorado State Penitentiary, where he was assaulted on Oct. Ingui testified that almost all the murder victims were in rows 8 through 18 of the theater. He added that eyewitnesses told him the shooter moved in a calm, deliberate manner as he sprayed rounds from an assault-style weapon and shotgun.

The attack ranks among the largest mass shootings in U. And Saturday morning, just 4 miles from the complex where the July shooting spree took place, four people were killed, including the suspected gunman, after a six-hour standoff at a town home.

Until Monday, a court-imposed gag order had kept much of the Holmes case under wraps, preventing prosecutors, police and officials at the University of Colorado from discussing it. In the weeks leading up to the shootings, police say, Holmes used the Internet to stockpile weapons and 6, rounds of ammunition, and acquire improvised explosive devices that he rigged to explode in his apartment.

At earlier hearings, Lynne Fenton, a university psychiatrist, said she had treated Holmes more than a month before the shootings but had no contact with him after June 11, when she reported concerns to campus police.

San Antonio resident Sandy Phillips' year-old daughter, Jessica Ghawi, was among those killed in the Aurora theater.

On the morning of the Newtown massacre, Sandy and Jessica's stepfather, Lonnie, were boarding a plane for Denver to accept an honorary degree on Jessica's behalf from Metropolitan State University, where she had been studying to pursue a career as a sportscaster.

It takes you back to your own grief and doubles it. She won't be at this week's hearing. Jerri Jackson, whose year-old son, Matt McQuinn, was killed as he shielded girlfriend Samantha Yowler, won't attend, either. I do think there is enough evidence to put him on trial.
