Aurora suspect James Holmes to enter plea in March after hearing delayed

James Holmes, the man charged with the Colorado theater shooting, will not have to enter a plea until March, after the judge hearing the case delayed the arraignment on Friday.

District judge William Sylvester ruled Thursday night that prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence to proceed with charges alleging that Holmes killed 12 people and injured 70 others at a suburban Denver movie theater on July 20.

Holmes is charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder.

Holmes will not have to enter a plea until March 12 after the judge on Friday granted a defense motion to delay that proceeding.
