Theatre shooting suspect in court

(CNN) — The man accused of opening fire Friday in a packed movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado has made his first court appearance today, giving the public its first look at the 24-year-old former Ph.D. candidate since his arrest.
James E Holmes will face charges of first-degree murder — an offense that carries a possible death penalty, if he is convicted — in the shooting deaths, given allegations over the weekend by police that there is evidence to suggest “calculation and deliberation” in the rampage.
Holmes is being held in connection with the early Friday shootings that left 12 dead and 58 wounded, and the subsequent discovery of his booby-trapped apartment, which authorities believe he rigged before leaving for the Century Aurora 16 multiplex.
Authorities have been tight-lipped about a possible motive in the case, and police spokesman Frank Fania said Holmes has been uncooperative with investigators and requested an attorney.
