I'm so fed up with some media groups talking about the trial and whether or not Holmes is sane or not. Mostly I'm tired of Holmes being portrayed as a victim of "insanity", or "suffering" from some mental issue. You outta listen to this craziness!
In my book, sane or not, anyone who premeditates to murder innocents like Holmes did, deserves the most harsh penalty we have.
Example from an NPR story:
Of course, Holmes' legal team has its own experts who will eventually testify that he was insane at the time of the shooting. The jury will hear from them later this summer. But for now, Reid is the prosecution's star witness. He testified that Holmes clearly suffered from some mental illness, but not enough to prevent him from knowing right from wrong.
"Whatever he suffered from, it did not prevent him from forming the intent and knowing what he was doing and the consequences of what he was doing," he told the courtroom.
I guess I wouldn't be a good candidate for a jury in this case!
