Judge Enters Not Guilty Plea for James Holmes

Defense wasn't ready to enter plea yet; were considering not guilty by reason of insanity

A judge on Tuesday entered a standard plea of not guilty for James Holmes, the man suspected in a mass shooting at a Colorado movie theater, after he and his attorneys said they were not ready to enter a plea.

In court documents, Holmes' attorneys had suggested that they might enter a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity for the shooting rampage at the theater that left 12 people dead and 58 injured on July 20, 2012.
