Vengeful Prison Inmate Does THIS To Colorado Shooter James Holmes James Holmes, 27 years old, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 12 and wounding of 70. Holmes is completely separated from the rest of the prison inmates. This didnt stop an inmate from getting to him. An inmate attacked Holmes and the guard that was with him at the Colorado State Penitentiary. There has only been one execution in the state of Colorado since 1977. He should have been the second. This will not be the last time an inmate gets to Holmes. It is unfortunate that an officer was hurt in the process. Do you think Holmes deserves the assault?
