Evidence hearing set for Monday for accused Colorado theater shooting CENTENNIAL, Colo., Jan. 2 (UPI) -- A judge on Wednesday set Monday as the date to air evidence in the shooting at a Colorado theater in which 12 people were killed and 58 wounded. At the hearing, both prosecutors and defense attorneys indicated they were ready for the preliminary hearing for James Holmes, who faces 166 counts of murder, attempted murder, and other charges in the July 20, 2012, shootings at a movie theater in Aurora, the Denver Post reported. Prosecutors will for the first time present evidence at the hearing next week that they hope will convince the judge they are ready to proceed to trial, the Post said. Attorneys for Holmes are expected to challenge the evidence. If the judge sets a trial date, an arraignment hearing will soon follow. Prosecutors must then announce if they will seek the death penalty. Holmes can waive the preliminary hearing, which will be held in a courtroom that can seat 100 people, the largest such room in the courthouse, the Post said. Audio and video feeds will be set up in two overflow rooms.
