James Holmes Mugshot Taken Same Day of his Court Appearance?by Scott Creighton, July 25, 2012
When someone is taken into custody and booked by the Sheriff’s office or city police departments, they are typically fingerprinted and photographed BEFORE they are processed into the system. During that processing they are stripped and put in prisoner’s clothing, usually an orange jump suit which they wear for the duration of their stay (unless they are in the “turtle suit”). That means when they are photographed for their mugshot, they are still in whatever clothing they were wearing when they were arrested. If you need proof of this, just go to your local convenience store and glance at one of those horrid little books on the counter showing who got arrested in your community. You will notice what they are wearing.
It would appear to me that James Holmes’ mug shot was taken on Monday morning right before he went into the courtroom. That begs the question, why?
And while we are talking about strange discrepancies, how come there is such a striking shift in his reported behavior during the attack?
Here is James Holmes’ booking mugshot. Now remember, at first they claimed they were not going to release his mug shot, but then, right before his court appearance, an hour before, they released it for some reason.
“Earlier statements from authorities indicated the mugshot photo would not be made public, but shortly before Holmes appeared for his first court hearing, the mugshot photo was released.” Examiner
Take a look at his mugshot right beside a photo of him in the courtroom taken the same day the mugshot was released. What do you see?

He has the exact same facial hair growth on Monday that he did on Friday? Now remember, the booking photo was supposedly taken when he was booked, on Friday morning, 3+ days before he went to court. But his facial hair is exactly the same? Take a look at the Adult Friend Finder pictures of Holmes. Obviously he can grow more facial hair. But here we see him with the exact same facial hair growth supposedly 3 days later.
Why is he already wearing the orange jumpsuit? And why does he look to be in the same emotional state as the did in court?
* they release the mug shot that day after claiming they won’t release it
* his facial hair growth is exactly the same
* he is outfitted in orange jumpsuit which he wouldn’t get typically till after the mug shot
What does all this add up to? His mugshot was taken on Monday, right before he appeared in court.
Now why would they do that? Because James Holmes was so drugged when they found him already in the white car, he was too incapacitated to stand for the mugshot.ABC “news’ is reporting that Holmes was running around in the theater screaming and acting like a madman, literally picking people up and shooting them with the other hand.
(It’s important to remember that ABC “News’ deliberately misrepresented a statement made by James Holmes’ mother on the day of the shooting) “Clad in head-to-toe combat gear, Holmes allegedly burst into a midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises,” tossed gas canisters into the crowd and opened fire. Friends Stephanie Davies and Allie Young, who attended, said the gunman moved around the room yelling and seemingly targeting people.
“He would shout, `What are you doing? I said stand up!’ And he would pick people up. I saw him stand over someone. I just see hair and him holding the shirt and `boom,”‘ said Davies, 21.” ABC “News”
Wow, what a crazed madman.. too bad that story is nothing like the myriad of reports that came out from witnesses right after the attack.
“He looked so calm when he did it,” an eyewitness told NBC affiliate KUSA. “It was like scary. He waited for both the bombs to explode before he did anything. Then, after both of them exploded, he began to shoot.”
“He had no specific target. He just started letting loose,” the witness added. MSNBC July 20th
“Witnesses at the Century Aurora 16 complex said Holmes, 24, slipped into the midnight premier of “The Dark Knight Rises” through an emergency exit door, armed with three guns and wearing a ballistic helmet, gas mask and body shields. He tossed two hissing gas canisters and calmly walked up the aisle firing at movie-goers, killing 12 and wounding 58.” Daily Record 7/21
“He was so calm it was scary.” “He never said a word” MSNBC broadcast
