James Holmes 'very delighted' when 'creepy' selfies shown in court

1/10/2013

Pictures alleged Aurora shooter James Holmes took of himself on his iPhone hours before the massacre are "creepy" and reveal his "depravity of human heart," according to prosecutor Karen Pearson. Six unsettling selfies, including Holmes wearing black contact lenses and tactical gear, sticking out his tongue and brandishing firearms, were shown during the last day of the suspect's preliminary hearing. According to the mother of one of the 12 people Holmes allegedly murdered, Caren Teeves, when the images were shown in court, Holmes was "absolutely smirking." "When he sees himself, he gets very excited and his eyes crinkle," she said outside the courthouse. "You could see that he was very delighted." Shudder. [Source] and [Source]
