James Holmes, with a
full beard, sat calmly in court. His defense attorneys argued they needed more
time before entering a plea.
Judge William Sylvester
denied the request and entered a not guilty plea on James Holmes' behalf. But
he left the door open for the defense to change that plea to not guilty by
reason of insanity.
The 25-year-old faces 166 felony counts
for killing 12 people and injuring 7o others during a shooting at a Colorado
movie theater last July.
Holmes
parents sat in the second row. And, victims and family members of those killed
packed the court room.
If the defense decides to change the
plea Holmes will have to undergo a series of mental evaluations to determine
whether he is insane.
Prosecutors also have to decide if they
will pursue the death penalty. They will let the judge know in April when both
sides are due back here in court.
If Holmes is found guilty he could face
life in prison or death.
