Jail letters

Theater shooter received supportive letters, money in jail

Prosecutors this week released 200 pages worth of mail sent to Holmes, mostly by women offering sympathy and sharing their own struggles with mental illness and the legal system. 

The letters were among hundreds of documents prosecutors provided in response to open-records requests made after Holmes' trial, which ended Aug. 26, when a judge sentenced him to life in prison without parole for murdering 12 people and trying to kill 70 more in the July 2012 massacre.
