Among the documents released yesterday in the Aurora theater shooting case was a wide-ranging inventory of the contents found in accused killer James Holmes's apartment.

We've got the complete list below. But among the more interesting items are three video games, none of which are the sort of realistic first-person shooter games most people (including those eager to blame actual tragedy on pop culture) probably expected.

Holmes.

The judge in the James Holmes case has unsealed an arrest affidavit and several search warrants in the case.

Among the details revealed by these documents -- that psychiatrist Lynne Fenton reported to a police officer in June that Holmes made "homicidal statements" and "threatened and harassed her;" that items found in his apartment included a "Batman mask;" and that police believed a notebook Holmes sent to Fenton "may contain evidence relating to the planning of the crime." Read the documents below.

James Holmes.

Update: After DA George Brauchler announced at today's Aurora theater shooting hearing that he plans to seek the death penalty against James Holmes, Judge Carlos Samour turned his attention to defense attorneys' desire for Fox News reporter Jana Winter to reveal sources who gave her information about a notebook the suspect allegedly sent to his psychiatrist; see our previous coverage below. That meant more testimony from Sergeant Matthew Fyles, who revealed the existence of post-it note with a drawing on it in found in the same package as the notebook.

Jana Winter.

The judge in the Aurora theater shooting case has agreed to hear oral arguments on Monday about whether Fox News reporter Jana Winter should have to testify about her unnamed sources. But he is requiring Winter to travel to Colorado, despite the fact that her attorneys requested she not have to do so.

Attorneys for suspect James Holmes subpoenaed Winter to testify about who told her that a notebook Holmes sent to a psychiatrist contained "details about how he was going to kill people."

Update by Melanie Asmar: Was James Holmes's court filing stating that he was willing to plead guilty to avoid the death penalty a publicity stunt?

That's the allegation being made by prosecutors in a response to Holmes's filing (on view below). The filing, they wrote, "appears to be an attempt to deliberately prejudice the public, witnesses and victims against the People." Furthermore, they say there is not "an actual or unqualified 'offer' to plead guilty" on the table, and that a plea bargain would be "extremely unlikely."

Winter on Twitter.

Attorneys for Fox News reporter Jana Winter, who reported that Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes sent a notebook "full of details about how he was going to kill people" to a psychiatrist, are fighting to postpone a hearing at which she has been subpoenaed to testify about where she got that information.

Meanwhile, state prosecutors and Holmes's defense attorneys say they're ready to proceed with the April 1 hearing at which Winter was subpoenaed to testify. It's now up to the judge whether to delay the hearing.

John Larimer.

Family members of the victims in several mass murders, including Columbine and the Aurora theater shooting, are calling on the federal government to establish a protocol for a "national compassion fund" that would ensure that any money donated in the wake of a tragedy goes directly to the victims. "Our family took a lot of pain just trying to wrestle...for these donated funds," says Scott Larimer, whose son John was killed in Aurora. "I don't want any family to have to deal with this along with the tragedy of losing a loved one in a mass shooting."

James Holmes.

Update below: James Holmes, the suspect in the July 20 shooting at an Aurora movie theater that killed twelve people and wounded seventy others, was widely expected to plead not guilty by reason of insanity at an arraignment hearing today.

Instead, Judge William Sylvester entered a not-guilty plea for Holmes -- although Holmes can potentially change this designation in the future. Sylvester also set a trial date of August 5, as well as numerous other hearings over the next several months.

Judge William Sylvester.

The judge in the Aurora theater shooting case has settled on the advisement that he will read to James Holmes should the suspect plead not guilty by reason of insanity at tomorrow's arraignment.

It includes warnings that if Holmes enters such a plea, he'll be subject to a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation and perhaps a narcoanalytic interview.

Holmes's lawyers have indicated that he may enter an insanity plea and asked Judge William Sylvester to advise their client of the consequences.

Colorado's insanity defense laws are constitutional and any court-ordered mental evaluation that Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes might undergo would not violate his right against self-incrimination, prosecutors argue in motions made public Wednesday.

The arguments are in response to five motions filed by Holmes's attorneys last week in which they asked the court to clarify certain aspects of the laws, explaining that Holmes "cannot intelligently decide how to proceed" until he understands the consequences.
