The judge who is considering evidence brought forward by prosecutors is expected to decide by Friday whether James Holmes, the alleged shooter in the Aurora, Colo. theater massacre, should stand trial, the Associated Press reports.
From the A.P.:
The preliminary hearing, which ended Wednesday, is designed to allow state District Judge William Sylvester to determine whether prosecutors’ case is strong enough to put Holmes on trial. Holmes faces more than 160 counts of murder and attempted murder.
Sylvester’s decision is likely to come by Friday and if as expected he orders Holmes to stand trial, the next step will be for Holmes to enter a plea.
