ORDER RE: MOTION TO LIMIT PRE-TRIAL PUBLICITY (D-2) Dated 23rd July 2012

This Motion is brought to the Court via the Defence. Nature of the case demonstrates the need for Court intervention to guide the conduct of counsel to avoid lowering the level of advocacy in this case.

Lawyers do fight with each other and sometimes those arguments become acrimonious. This diverts time, energy and resources. If the lawyers were fighting in public the media would focus on the fighting and not on the case.

So basically no lawyer, law firm or legal representative is allowed to talk to the media/public. No law enforcement officers are allowed to speak to the media/public. The police are also not allowed to act in a manner that creates deliberate exposure of the defendant i.e photographs or video, or organise an interview with the media and the defendant. Court personnel arent to disclose to unauthorised persons any information.

The Petitioners are seeking audio, video and photography. The Court received another Objection to Expanded Media Coverage and Request for Hearing (D-7) filed for July 23, 2012 by the Defendant. No word from the People at this stage. The Court previously denied the Defendants Objection to Expanded Media Coverage and Request for Hearing (D-4) file on July 20, 2012. The Court denied that objection. After considering the Defendants Objection, the Court denied the Petitioners Request.

MEDIA PETITIONERS' REPLY IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO UNSEAL COURT FILE

FILED 8 AUGUST 2012

Basically the media wants the file unsealed so they have a story to report, as we know. They again make many points of law and if you are really interested please take the time to read the motion.

One point I would like to make regarding this documents. The media say that "Holmes has also be a ******** (blackened out) at the University of Colorado".

(ORIGINAL AND CORRECTED) MOTION BY MEDIA PETITIONERS FOR CLARIFICATION OF THE COURTS ORDERS REGARDING PRE-TRIAL PUBLICITY. DATED 3 AUGUST AND 6 AUGUST 2012 I could not find the exact correction This Motion is made pursuant to: Order re Motion to Limit Pre-Trial Publicity, Amended Order re Motion for Compliance with Order Limiting Pre-Trial Publicity, the imposition of potential sanction of contempt of court for any violation of the Rules, the prohibition on extra-judicial statements only apply to the DAs office and criminal Law Enforcement Agencies involved in this case. Amended order now includes Aurora Police Department, Arapahoe County Sheriffs Dept, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, FBI and ATF. Other non-criminal law enforcement agencies are citing the Courts Orders not to comment on the case. In seeking out information on actions by non-law government, that body is now citing the Court Order and not speaking to the media i.e Aurora History Museum refuses to issue a statement regarding plans of a Memorial Park across the street from the Century 21 (16?) Movie Theatre. The media has asked for information regarding how many rural metro ambulances responded to the shooting, where they went, inspection of the reports held by the Aurora Fire Department for the movie theatre dating back weeks and months before July 20, seeking records showing when off-duty police officers have worked at the movie theatre in the two months prior to July 20. The media say these records should be made available as they are not within the ambit of the Courts Orders as none of these agencies will be participating in the prosecution of the defendant.

PEOPLES MOTION TO CONTINUE (P-11) FILED AUGUST 15, 2012

The People wish to continue hearing dated August 16, 2012. They do not have all discovery as yet. They have received 2,500 pages of discovery, 52 DVDs and CDs but they are awaiting more information. Information requested in Subpoena Duces Tecum to the University is necessary for privilege. The Defendants attorney has advised they do not object to the Motion to Continue. They both request the Court rule on the Motion today so they can call off the witnesses scheduled for that date.

ORDER RE PEOPLES MOTION TO CONTINUE (P-11) DATED AUGUST 15, 2012

The Court has agreed to let the hearing for August 16 be moved to August 23, 2012.

ORDER RE DEFENDANTS MOTION TO ALLOW CONFIDENTIAL DEFENSE EXPERTS TO BE PRESENT FOR SCIENTIFIC TESTING OR EVIDENCE DATED AUGUST 15, 2012 The Defense wants experts to be present for scientific testing and the Court finds that it has no statutory authority to order the People to allow Defendant a confidential expert be present during the Peoples scientific testing. The People must comply with the disclosure requirements regarding destructive or consumptive testing. The People are to give the Defendant 48 hours notice before conducting testing.

While the Defendant has the right at trial to confront any state experts or examiners involved in the testing, the Defendant does not have the right to a confidential expert present..
