James Holmes Case: Prosecutors Not Ready To Accept Plea Deal From Aurora Shooting Suspect
Posted in: Today's ChiliDENVER (AP) — Prosecutors said Thursday they are not ready to accept an offer from Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes to plead guilty in exchange for avoiding the death penalty.
In a court filing, prosecutors criticized defense attorneys for publicizing Holmes’ offer to plead guilty, calling it a ploy meant to draw the public and the judge into what should be private plea negotiations.
They say the defense has “steadfastly and repeatedly” refused to provide key details they need to consider a plea.
