Red light camera photo of James Holmes may help prosecutors show mental state

Описание: Prosecutors in the James Holmes Aurora theater shooting case want a photo of Holmes taken 10 days before the shooting by a red light camera.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. - The term "rational insanity" was found in the search history of James Holmes' computer, a digital forensic detective testified on Thursday.

Detective Michael Leiker, a criminologist for Aurora police who examines digital evidence, testified that on Holmes' computer tower he discovered a Firefox browsing history and a Bing.com search for the term "rational insanity."

He also found web searches that were related to weapons, firearms, ammunition and movie theaters, he said. He said that if he had to print out all the forensic data that he's analyzed, there would be many thousands of pages of data.

Besides Holmes' computer, Leiker has also examined Holmes' iPhone, iPod touch, a tablet, another computer tower, three flash drives and a Toshiba laptop. On that laptop, Leiker said there were two images -- one showing a person in a gas mask, and one showing a British flag with a silhouette figure.

On the iPhone, which Leiker said he examined on July 21, 2012, he found video, images, Internet history, photo messages and chat content. The nature of those images and video was not disclosed during Thursday's hearing, but prosecutors did show 12 images to Leiker, asking if that was what he had extracted from the phone.

At least one of the photographs was taken at the intersection of Abilene and Mississippi on July 10. The prosecution argued it could be used to support their case about Holmes' ownership of the Hyundai found outside the theater and his mental state.

The prosecution also indicated Holmes had spent $600 at a nearby Best Buy on the same night. One of the items he allegedly purchased was the iPod Touch he carried at the time of the shooting.
