James Holmes Defense Team Declines to Make Case in Pre-Trial Hearing

Daniel King, leading the defense team for the accused gunman, James Holmes, told the judge after the prosecution had rested that he had decided this week's proceeding was "not the proper venue or time to put on a show or a truncated defense."
