==Trivia== *In Colorado, a death penalty decision has to be one hundred percent agreement from the jurors. In James' case, only one juror voted against giving him the death penalty. *Holmes was a fan of superheroes, including Batman, and his apartment was even decorated with Batman paraphernalia. Dave Aragón, an actor from the MTV television series ''Pimp My Ride'', stated that Holmes called him twice the month before the shooting took place. Aragón is the writer, director, and star of an upcoming film entitled ''The Suffocator of Sins'', which depicts a vigilante who shoots criminals, and Aragón claimed that Holmes showed interest in his movie's trailer. *According to Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler, Holmes chose the Century 16 theater for his attack because he liked movie theaters and the specific theater had doors that he could lock in order to increase the number of casualties, as well as being in an area where police response would take longer. He specifically chose to attack a midnight screening because he believed fewer children would be present, not wanting to kill them. Holmes allegedly considered other locations for a mass shooting, such as an airport, but ruled it out because an airport would have too much security. He also wrote his reasoning that an attack on an airport would be confused as an act of [[terrorism]], saying, "Terrorism isn't the message. The message is, there is no message." In addition, he had been considering using explosives, chemical agents, or biological agents in his attack, but rejected the scenario as he thought he might "blow himself up". Holmes had also considered serial killing as an option, but later reasoned it was "too personal, too much evidence, easily caught, few kills. *The jury for Holmes' trial consisted of nineteen women and five men, two of whom had connections to the Columbine massacre. *During a presentation at a science camp he went to in 2006, he said he wanted to own a slurpee machine. {{DEFAULTSORT:James Holmes}} [[Category:Male]] [[Category:Homicidal]] [[Category:Psychopath]] [[Category:Criminals]] [[Category:Sadists]] [[Category:Arsonist]] [[Category:Terrorists]] [[Category:Living Villains]] [[Category:Nihilists]] [[Category:Xenophobes]] [[Category:Anti-Religious]] [[Category:Modern Villains]] [[Category:Murderer]] [[Category:Mongers]] [[Category:Mastermind]] [[Category:Egotist]] [[Category:Arrogant]] [[Category:Destroyer of Innocence]] [[Category:Mass Shooters]] [[Category:From Nobody to Nightmare]] [[Category:Mentally Ill]] [[Category:Chaotic Evil]] [[Category:Mass Murderers]] [[Category:Important]] [[Category:Imprisoned]] [[Category:Vengeful]] [[Category:Obsessed]] [[Category:Fallen Heroes]] [[Category:Emotionless Villains]] [[Category:Charismatic]] [[Category:Delusional]] [[Category:One-Man Army]] [[Category:Young villains]] [[Category:Suicidal]] [[Category:Copycats]] [[Category:Misanthropes]] [[Category:United States of America]] [[Category:Muses]] [[Category:Remorseful]]
