(17,655 posts)But I think this timing is a little too quick. Has his friend, Mr. Boik, even been laid to rest yet?
And of course the lawyer is going to enjoin any one and every one in the filings, but I seriously doubt that he's going to be able to prove that the Dark Knight movie (which had not even been viewed in its entirety yet when the shooting began) has any liability.
As to Holmes' doctors, they will have no liability here, I'm sure, as they cannot be held accountable if their patient didn't take medication as it may have been prescribed. Plus, I've not yet read anything indicating that Holmes was or was not taking meds - maybe I'm behind in reading today's headlines.
As to the theater, has there been any consideration that Holmes may have visited the theater earlier and somehow disarmed the alarm on the exit door? I mean, we're not dealing with a dumb criminal here. We're dealing with someone smart enough to booby trap his apartment, etc.
