Aurora, Colo., theater shooter James Holmes converts to Islam

“He has brainwashed himself into believing he was on his own personal jihad and that his victims were infidels,” the source told the National Enquirer.

In my opinion, it looks like he wants to be a martyr, but the Muslims don't want him.  Firstly, he can claim an insanity defense and probably succeed at getting a lighter sentence.  But his attorneys are blocking that, probably because Holmes has told them to.   In addition, I think Holmes is an individualist seeking glory, not someone who has had a sincere conversion to a faith.  His mind processes are strangely skewed; he is probably crazy.

This is an important case on a couple levels.  Prosecution probably wants the death penalty.  That's number one.  Number two is gun-control.  But a guy like this should have been stopped before he could do damage.  We haven't heard the end of this one.
