Batman Colorado cinema shooter James Holmes 'thought Obama was speaking to him'
Quote:James Holmes, the man accused of one of America's worst mass shootings, suffered from schizophrenia and thought President Barack Obama was talking to him through a television, his lawyer said.

On July 20 , 2012, Holmes shot dead 12 people and injured 70 during a midnight screening of Batman film The Dark Knight Rises at a cinema in Aurora, Colorado.

Holmes, 27, a former neuroscience PhD student, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to multiple charges of murder and attempted murder. His parents Bob Holmes, 64, a Stanford-educated mathematician, and mother Arlene Holmes, 60, a nurse, sat a few feet behind him as his trial opened at Arapahoe County Court.

Daniel King, his lawyer told the jury: "When James Holmes stepped into that theatre in July 2012, he was insane. His mind had been overcome by a disease of the brain that had plagued him for years.

It's common in schizophrenics. The was the most surprising thing working with them, just how many had those stereotypical 'I HAVE A CHIP IN MY ARM AND THE CIA IS AFTER ME, THEY'VE GOT AGENTS EVERYWHERE'-type delusions. Apparently, the biggest single increase the psych employee I was following noticed was during the time the Passion of the Christ came out.
