Accused mass murderer James Holmes told jailhouse workers that he remains stumped about what landed him in a Colorado lockup, a jail staffer told the Daily News. “He claims he doesn’t know why he’s in jail,” the worker said Thursday. “He asked, ‘Why am I here?’”

He claims that he doesn't remember anything, and now we find out he was under a psychiatrist's care.

Was he a guinea pig for any experimental drugs?

Ironic. Liberals have long claimed low IQ perpetrators, breakers of unpopular laws/rules (e.g., harsh actions for illegal aliens, etc.) or the ‘common man’ should somehow be exempt or deserve special consideration in review of their crimes or their race. I might add that this special consideration never seems to extend itself to conservatives or ‘rich’ people.

So what’s happening now is that a man who cannot be connected to any of the undeserving categories (rich, conservative, etc.) is claiming mental disability - amnesia.
He’s using their own foibles against them.

Stick a blow torch on his foot for about 30 seconds and see if he remembers.

neuroscience — the study of the brain, its 100 billion nerve cells, and the connections among those cells that control thought and action.

He’s got amnesia. He must know. What a crock. Show him his picture book, and the video of his foot prints of blood between the theater doos and his car.

My,My,My.....James Holmes’ likely murders overshadow father Robert Holmes’ Libor testimony.

KingCast and Mortgage Movies remain pensive as James Holmes’ father,
Robert Holmes, is set to provide crippling info. on Libor & other
banking scandals.

Don’t know what this means really, but it seems weird at least.

A person can be amnestic for all the events of a crime and still be able to participate in his defense. Amnesia does not render an individual incompetent to stand trial. A land mark case in this area can be found here: http://federal-circuits.vlex.com/vid/robert-wilson-united-states-america-36728352

Amnesia may seem like a plausible defense, I mean campaign strategy, for democrat politicians trying to get re-elected in November...

As horrible as this crime was we've got to recognize that this guy just might be....”might be”,I say;not “surely is”...desperately mentally ill.That is,suffering from a profound biological/physiological disorder of the brain.Perhaps schizophrenia,a devastating brain disorder that usually first manifests its symptoms in the mid teens to mid twenties and whose symptoms can build up gradually over time.

Well the rest of us will never forget that the orange-haired joker wannabe planned his murderous rampage for months.
He only wishes that it could be wiped from his memory and everyone else too.

He certainly remembered what he was there for at the time and followed his(?) plan exactly.

Guilt deflection FAIL...

Why do I have the creepiest feeling this whole thing started off as an elaborate “experiment” gone awry!?

This is a case where I don't want the death penalty to be swift. I want him around to answer questions. It's unlikely there were others involved but if there were, a swift execution isn't in our best interests. We have plenty of time to kill this animal. Let's wait and see what he finally comes out with. (And I'm not talking about this amnesia BS.)

Because you’ve read too many mystery novels?

The Libor Testimony is likely disinformation or just a lie. It is back tracked to Sorcha Faal and everyone is running with it.

I will say that no one can claim without a doubt that James Holmes is the killer based on available public evidence.

There may be forensic evidence on him but he could be a drugged up stooge found in his car.

Gas Mask #2 guy could have killed the people.

I am wondering why more people aren’t dead. They were sitting down. He could have blown their heads off.

His psychiatrist once was in charge of Air Force physical care in Texas.
