霍姆斯或面臨142項公訴長達5000年監禁
A different James Eagan Holmes, appearing in public for the second time since he was detained in connection with the July 20Colorado shootings at a midnight showing of a Batman movie, entered the Arapahoe County courtroom Monday where he was formally charged on a staggering 142 counts, including 24 counts of first-degree murder, 116 counts of criminal intent to commit murder.
霍姆斯第二次公開亮相，與第一次以一身蝙蝠俠裝扮露相不同的是，此次他是在法庭的審判席中，接受142項指控罪名。其中24項一級謀殺罪，和116項預謀謀殺罪。The handcuffed, 24-year-old Holmes, wearing a maroon jumpsuit and his signature mop of unkempt, orange-dyed hair, appeared more lucid than he did a week ago at his advisement hearing, looking ahead at District Court Judge William B. Sylvester from the defense table where he sat next to Arapahoe County public defenders Daniel King and Tamara Holmes.
這名24歲的年輕人身穿褐色連體服，帶着手銬，穿着蓬鬆的拖鞋，染成橘紅色的頭髮，整個人看起來神志清晰了些，這是相對於他一週之前坐在審判法官面前的情形而言的。"He looked very alert and very sane," said Maryellen Hansen, aunt of 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, who was killed at the theater and her mother Ashley critically injured. Moser lost a baby she was carrying on Saturday, but legal experts say killing an unborn child will not be added to the list of murder charges against Holmes.
一名6歲受害者的姑姑說：他看起來很機警而理智。該兒童的母親同時受了重傷。一名孕婦因此次事件流產，但法律專家說導致未出生嬰兒的死亡不會給霍姆斯增加額外的罪名指控。
Hansen was one of the attendees at the Arapahoe County courthouse packed with victims and their families, law enforcement officials and the media. No cameras were allowed at the hearing because of a media gag order imposed by Sylvester last week.
漢森是旁聽席上的一員，與衆多受害者的家屬們一起，旁邊坐着法警和媒體記者。旁聽席上不準拍照，因爲上週法官西爾維斯特發佈了媒體禁令。"A conviction of First Degree murder carries a sentence from life-in-prison to death," Sylvester told Holmes.
法官向霍姆斯宣佈：“如果一級謀殺罪名成立，那麼應判終生監禁或者死刑。”Penalties in the charges against Homes add up to more than 5, 000 years in jail, although Arapahoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers says she favors the Death Penalty.
這些指控足夠霍姆斯將牢底坐穿，因爲高達五千年監禁，不過地區檢察官說她更願意讓他直接一命嗚呼。The murder charges against Holmes doubled as 12 charges of " premeditated" First Degree murder and 12 charges of "extreme indifference" First Degree murder. The 116 charges of attempted murder carry a maximum penalty of 48 years each.
關於謀殺的罪名指控，有十二項是“有預謀的”一級謀殺罪名，另外還有十二項“極度漠視”謀殺罪名。116項預謀謀殺罪中每一項都可能判處最高48年的監禁。"He did look evil," said Hansen, "but much different from the first hearing where he just looked spaced out," she said.
漢森說：“他看起來罪惡滔天，但是現在跟第一次看見他在審判席上不同，上一次似乎是嗑藥了一樣神志不清的。”Hansen said as a Christian she does not favor the Death Penalty, but would like to see Holmes tried as a terrorist and stay behind bars "living with what he did for the rest of his life."
漢森還說，作爲一個基督徒，她並不願意看大他被處以死刑或者一輩子被關在監獄裏“終身孤獨”。Holmes will appear in court again on November 13 at a Preliminary Hearing that is expected to take most of that week, where more details of his crimes will be heard and his plea may be entered.
霍姆斯下一次會在11月13日再次出席預審，預計審理此案會耗費數日，更多的細節將會被揭開，而他的辯護也將開始。Lawyers for the defense, prosecution and the media will reconvene at the Arapahoe County courthouse on August 9 at a status conference to discuss a gag order placed on court proceedings by Sylvester, as well as a motion of client privilege filed by Holmes' attorneys on Friday. These motions will be decided in a hearing a week later on August 16, according to Sylvester.
辯護律師，檢察官和媒體將會在八月九日再次在該法庭集合，商討開庭審理期間的媒體秩序，以及霍姆斯的辯護律師提出的當事人特權事項。這些事情會在隨後一週的預審中確，當然這也取決於法官西爾維斯特。
