Colorado Prosecutors End Bid to See Holmes’s Notebook - NYTimes.com

Colorado Prosecutors End Bid to See Holmes’s Notebook - NYTimes.com:
by Jack Healy
 "CENTENNIAL, Colo. — James E. Holmes, accused of killing 12 people in a Colorado movie theater, appeared in court on Thursday, his shaggy hair now shorn and brown rather than neon orange, as prosecutors, saying they did not want to delay proceedings, abandoned their fight to see a notebook he sent to a university psychiatrist.
The contents of the notebook could provide a revealing glimpse into the mental state of Mr. Holmes in the days and weeks leading up to the shootings inside a sold-out midnight premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, Colo."
Public defenders for Mr. Holmes have argued that the notebook cannot be made public or shared with prosecutors because it is privileged communication between Mr. Holmes and Dr. Lynne Fenton, a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado Denver, who saw Mr. Holmes briefly in June.
