Aurora theater shooter, James Holmes, psychiatric evaluation videos released

Seven years after the tragic shooting in an Aurora movie theater, videos of the shooter’s psychiatric evaluations are being released.

Hours of footage between James Holmes and his court-ordered psychiatrist, Dr. William Reid were released by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

the videos happen over the course of a few days, and most them start with Holmes taking a seat in his green jumpsuit.

Dr. Reid is heard saying, “at that point, you decided you were a murderer?” Holmes responds, “umm… that I was going to be.”

His eyes are wide but his voice is emotionless as he says looking at a picture provided by the doctor, “these are all my incendiary devices I made.”

As he recalls the mass shooting he committed at this movie theater in Aurora where 13 people murdered and 70 more injured, Holmes says doesn’t know the difference between them.

His doctor asks, “Did you make any attempt to shoot certain kinds of people? Men? Women? Big? Small?” Holmes said, “I don’t know…just people at the movie theater.”

He continues to explain the shooting was completely random.

“I was more going for the people who were shocked and misfortunate because they’re, like thousands of theaters and seats, and they were in the wrong one at the wrong time.”

Just a few weeks later after the initial interviews, Holmes is seen in a different room where he has a lack of empathy for what he did.

When asked if what he did was wrong, Holmes replies, “it was just one event, the rest of my life, I was good.”

Shortly after these interviews, Holmes went to trial and was convicted on several counts of first-degree murder. He is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole in Pennsylvania federal prison.
