 CENTENNIAL, Colo. (CBS4) – CBS4 has learned from reliable law enforcement sources that James Holmes has made multiple suicide attempts in recent days, and at least one of the attempts led to a brief hospitalization.  Defense attorneys for suspected theater shooter James Holmes said their client was sent to the hospital Tuesday and needed to postpone a court hearing but did not provide additional details about his condition. "It's not as simple as a migraine and not as simple as will be resolved in the morning," said defense attorney Tamara Brady. "The defendant's position seems to be that he can request the court take action on his claim of a 'condition' and at the same time keep information about that 'condition' secret from the prosecution. Prosecutor Rich Orman objected, saying the defense did not provide enough information to determine whether the delay was justified. Over objections from prosecutors, Arapahoe County District Court Judge William Sylvester moved a hearing scheduled for Thursday to Dec. 10 and 13. "The court finds itself in somewhat of a conundrum, which is not unusual in this case," he said.
– Dark Knight shooting suspect James Holmes has attempted suicide multiple times recently, sources tell CBS4 Denver, and that's why a hearing originally scheduled for today has been postponed until next month. Defense attorneys asked for the postponement yesterday, citing a vague ailment plaguing Holmes, but did not discuss any suicide attempts. "It's not as simple as a migraine," said a public defender when asked about Holmes' unspecified condition. Law enforcement sources describe the suicide attempts as "half-hearted," though at least one led to a brief hospitalization. One attempt reportedly involved Holmes running into a wall; in another, he jumped off his bed. Sources tell the Denver Post Holmes injured himself by pounding his head into the wall of his cell, and that's why he was hospitalized Tuesday. But, while ABC7 Denver's sources confirm that Holmes hit his head on the wall and floor, they say it was not a suicide attempt and that the concern is more about Holmes' strange behavior than his physical condition.
