“In all the information that is available to me, it is my intention that for James Eagan Holmes in this case, justice is death,” the prosecuting lawyer said today.
Many have searched for answers to why atrocities such as the recent mass shooting at a cinema theatre in the US happen. But there are many myths and misconceptions about such incidents.
Matt McQuinn, who dived in front of his girlfriend during the shooting, and Jessica Ghawi, who survived another random shooting just months earlier, will both be laid to rest today.
Alleged killer James Holmes is repeatedly asking guards why he is in prison – claiming that he has no memory of the shooting which took place in a packed Colorado cinema last week.
A suspect is in custody after the shooting at a Batman screening in Aurora. His apartment building has been evacuated because of concerns about explosives.
ONE OF AMERICA’S biggest child beauty pageant organisers is set to spend €20,000 staging their first-ever Irish contest in September.
The Herald reports today that beauty bosses said it will be open to “babies, toddlers and teens” and will also include a heat with kids in swimwear.

So, today we would like to know: Would you enter your child in a beauty pageant?
