Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

DENVER, CO (Catholic Online) - Photos found on Holmes' cell phone show he scouted the theater in advance of his deadly attack, photographing the interior of the building as well as the locations of back doors and even the hinges on those doors.

Holmes also took pictures of himself posing with weapons and the gear he used in the attack.

The photos suggest that Holmes meticulously planned and premeditated the deadly spree and that it may not have been the outburst of a mentally ill man.

Today was the third and last day of hearing testimony for Holmes.

The judge will make a decision on Friday if there is enough evidence to bring the case to trial.
