AURORA | The results of accused theater shooter James Holmes’ months-long psychiatric evaluation could be unveiled at a hearing Monday morning.
Holmes is scheduled to appear in court for a hearing Sept. 30.
Three officials from the state mental hospital where Holmes was evaluated this summer are expected to appear in court at the hearing, court documents showed last week.
In court documents filed Sept. 13 and unsealed Sept. 16, prosecutors subpoenaed the custodian of records at the Colorado State Mental Health Institute at Pueblo to appear in Arapahoe County for Holmes’ hearing Sept. 30. The subpoena ordered the records custodian, Carmen Debiaso, to bring any documents related to Holmes’ stay at the hospital.
Two other hospital officials were subpoenaed as well, but their names and titles were redacted from the subpoenas.
State doctors have finished their evaluation of Holmes’ sanity and sent the report to the prosecution and defense earlier this month, but it remains sealed from the public.
In addition to the state hospital officials, prosecutors also subpoenaed a lawyer for the University of Colorado to appear at Monday’s hearing. That subpoena ordered the lawyer to bring any documents related to Holmes’ mental condition to the hearing.
Before last summer’s theater massacre, Holmes was a graduate student at CU’s Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, where he studied neuroscience.
According to court documents and testimony, he visited a psychiatrist at the campus and told her he had thoughts about killing people about a month before the shootings.
