FURTHER ANALYSIS OF JAMES HOLMES’ NOTEBOOK

THE INFINITY SYMBOL (placed on top of James’ notebook was a yellow post-it note with an infinity symbol drawn on it)*:

Often the simplest symbols are the ones with the richest meanings. The infinity sign, the figure of eight, and the mathematical lemniscate all refer to the same shape that contains a wealth of complex meaning within its fluid lines.

As a mathematical device, the infinity sign was first “discovered” in 1655 by John Wallis, but its significance as a religious symbol is much older. The infinity sign has its origins in the Arabic numerals that actually came from India in the first place. The sign can be drawn in one continuous movement, making a seesaw movement of clockwise and counterclockwise loops. These loops reflect the balance of opposites; male and female, day and night, dark and light.

Because the circles of the lemniscate sit side by side, the sign implies equality between these opposing forces, with the connecting point in the center the convergent point. The sign epitomizes the idea of sex-ual union and of “two becoming one.” The infinity sign stands for wholeness and completion.

The lemniscate appears in the elaborate curlicues in Arabic calligraphic renderings of the Name of God; the elegant loops providing a decorative device as well as pointing toward the idea of eternity.

BURNT MONEY/MONEY BURNING (inside the notebook James sent to Fenton was $400.00 in burnt $20.00 bills)*:

The purposeful act of destroying money. In the prototypical example, banknotes are destroyed by literally setting them on fire. Burning money decreases the wealth of the owner without directly enriching any particular party. However, according to the quantity theory of money, because it reduces the supply of money it increases the value of the remaining money, increasing (by roughly the same amount as the money burnt) the collective wealth of everyone else who holds money.

Money is usually burned to communicate a message, either for artistic effect, as a form of protest, or as a signal.

A PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE COLOR BROWN (James’ notebook was brown)*:

The color brown is a serious, down-to-earth color signifying stability, structure and support. Relating to the protection and support of the family unit, with a keen sense of duty and responsibility, brown takes its obligations seriously. It encourages a strong need for security and a sense of belonging.

In color psychology, brown is honest, genuine and sincere. It relates to the hardworking, the industrious and reliable, with both feet planted firmly on the ground.

Brown is a frugal color - it is not associated with frivolity, excess or waste in any form.

Brown suppresses the emotions, creating a safe haven from the stresses of the outside world within which problems can be contemplated and solved.

Brown is a color of structure, it encourages orderliness and organization.

The color brown gives reassurance. Brown does not seek attention.

Brown is solid with strength and maturity. It prefers to function in its own safe little world.

 “JAMES HOLMES, OF LIFE” was written on a placard that was placed on the notebook itself.*

If James was loosely eluding to the meaning of life: “Why are we here?”, “What is life all about?”, and “What is the purpose of existence?” It has been the subject of much philosophical, scientific, and theological speculation throughout history. The meaning of life is in the philosophical and religious conceptions of existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness, and borders on many other issues, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, conceptions of God, the soul, and the afterlife. (James was/is an agnostic) Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical facts about the universe, exploring the context and parameters concerning the ‘how’ of life. Science also studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question “What is the meaning of my life?” The value of the question pertaining to the purpose of life may coincide with the achievement of ultimate reality, or a feeling of oneness, or even a feeling of sacredness.

CENTENNIAL — With prosecutors poised to announce Monday whether they will seek the death penalty for the Aurora theater killings, attorneys for suspect James Holmes find themselves in a legal corner. Their efforts to plead guilty in exchange for a life in prison — disclosed last week in a court filing — were rebuffed. Their long-hinted plans to raise an insanity defense are unfulfilled and, experts say, come with great risk of backfiring. The extensive evidence against Holmes — his capture at the scene, the photos of his arsenal that police say they found on his cellphone — means there are virtually no other options. Even for a defense team with experience in high-profile murder cases, it is a bleak spot. "It's a very difficult case to defend, no question," said Michael Perlin a professor at New York Law School. How Holmes' attorneys — Daniel King and Tamara Brady, members of the state public defender's capital cases team — will move forward could become clearer during a hearing scheduled for Monday morning. Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler has said he will announce whether he will seek the death penalty against Holmes at the hearing. The two sides could also argue over motions filed last week that disclosed Holmes' plea offer and prosecutors' rejection of it. Brauchler wrote in a filing that prosecutors asked Holmes for "specific access to information that would allow them to fully assess the Defendant and his alleged acts." Holmes and his attorneys have refused to give prosecutors that information, Brauchler wrote. Without the details, Brauchler said it is "extremely unlikely" prosecutors would make a deal. If the case does go to trial, Holmes' attorneys again suggested that they would raise a mental-health defense. "The issue is not whether they're going to enter an insanity plea on his behalf," said Dr. Steven Pitt, a nationally known forensic psychiatrist. "I suspect the issue is more about the exposure that that places on their client." When Holmes' attorneys had the chance last month to enter an insanity plea, though, they balked and said they needed more time to study the issue. The judge entered a standard not-guilty plea for Holmes over King's and Brady's objections. Pitt and Perlin said the defense's hesitancy is likely because an insanity plea is exceptionally risky. "When you're entering an insanity plea, you're saying 'I did it,' " Pitt said. " 'I did it, but I wasn't in my right mind when I committed the offenses, and I couldn't appreciate the wrongfulness of my conduct.' " That assertion is subject to an independent psychiatric evaluation, which the defense has little control over and which almost always determines the outcome of the case. As Perlin has written in several papers, the final outcome in insanity cases matches the findings of the psychiatric reviews as often as 90 percent of the time. And defendants who plead insanity and are found guilty typically receive tougher punishment than defendants in similar cases who don't pursue an insanity defense. Sometimes, Perlin said, juries may even use mental-health evidence against a defendant — meaning the insanity defense can backfire. "Pleading insanity is generally a high-risk maneuver," he said. Attorneys for Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people in an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in 1993 and now sits on death row, learned just how treacherous mental-health evidence can be during that case. When the results of a psychiatric evaluation came back disastrously for Dunlap — doctors said he was largely faking mental illness and had mocked his victims during the evaluation — mental health became a taboo topic for his attorneys during the case. Had Dunlap's attorneys raised the topic at trial, prosecutors would have been able to introduce all the damaging evidence the evaluation produced. His attorneys instead decided on a plain not-guilty plea, then argued during the death-penalty hearing that Dunlap had a difficult childhood. The jury rejected both arguments. This is how Forrest Lewis, one of Dunlap's lawyers, described the case when he was questioned during an appeal years ago: "There were so many things we had to be careful of; so many tightropes we had to walk. ... Every day, every minute, every witness, every hour, you're making those kind of balancings and those kind of decisions." Lewis declined to comment on Holmes' case. But other attorneys said Holmes' lawyers will likely try everything they can to achieve their one goal in the case. "In any potential death-penalty case," said Denver attorney Karen Steinhauser, a former prosecutor, "the primary goal of the defense attorneys is to save their client's life." Holmes' attorneys hinted in court papers last week that they would file numerous pretrial motions if the case proceeds, likely resulting in a significant, acrimonious extension of the case. In a case with a diminishing number of options for the defense, it may be the likeliest of paths. "You use the tools you have at hand," University of Colorado law professor Marianne Wesson said. "You take advantage of every process that the law allows." John Ingold: 303-954-1068, jingold@denverpost.com or twitter.com/john_ingold

CENTENNIAL — Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. on Wednesday said he won’t decide whether a Fox News reporter must reveal her sources until he determines whether a notebook she wrote about in July is evidence in the murder case against James Holmes.

Reporter Jana Winter, citing two unnamed law enforcement sources, reported that the notebook, sent by Holmes to his psychiatrist, contained violent drawings and writings. Since then, Holmes’ attorneys have attempted to find out who her sources were, arguing that the sources violated the case’s gag order.

“I need to know more,” Samour said in court Wednesday. “I need to have an adequate record and I don’t believe I have that right now.”

If Samour ultimately decides Winter must testify about her sources and she refuses, she could be sentenced to jail. Earlier this week, Samour postponed that threat for Winter, ruling that he won’t decide the testimony issue unless the notebook becomes evidence in the case.

Winter, a New York based reporter, was in the courtroom Wednesday as lawyers for Holmes argued that she should be compelled to testify.

“This is not something that is of great value to the public,” defense attorney Rebecca Higgs said of information published about Holmes’ notebook. “The First Amendment interests here are not substantial.”

Holmes’ attorneys say the notebook is off-limits to investigators because of doctor-patient privilege, and it would become evidence in the case only if Holmes raises a mental health defense.

“It’s a very positive step,” Winter’s attorney, Dori Ann Hanswirth, said in an interview after the earlier ruling. The ruling didn’t end the fight, though. Samour has said Holmes’ attorneys must exhaust all other reasonable means of finding the leaks before they can call Winter.

Journalism advocates have rallied around Winter, and she gained more supporters this week when leaders of the Colorado Press Association, Colorado Broadcasters Association and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press all submitted affidavits to Samour saying that forcing Winter to divulge her sources would be damaging to her career and harmful to the public’s right to know.

Free-press advocates argue that, without sources being able to trust journalists to protect their anonymity, vital information will not be reported.

“People should care because any time a journalist is subpoenaed, it casts a pall over journalism and news reporting,” Hanswirth said. “We don’t want free speech to be curtailed. We don’t want people to be afraid to speak.” “We have to rely on these types of reports to get the news and learn the truth about what’s going on.”
