Prosecutors Seek Access to Aurora Shooter's Notebook

Prosecutors are expected to argue that they should get a notebook sent by the Colorado theater shooting suspect to a University of Colorado psychiatrist because it wasn't meant for therapy.

Prosecutors are to present their arguments and witnesses at a hearing Thursday in the James Holmes case.

Prosecutors suffered a setback Aug. 30 in obtaining the notebook that reportedly contains descriptions of an attack. A judge ruled that prosecutors could not disprove a doctor-patient relationship between Holmes and Dr. Lynne Fenton.
