COURTROUNDUP EDANDRIESKI—THEASSOCIATEDPRESSFILE Robert and Arlene Holmes, the parents of Aurora theater shooting suspect James Holmes, arrive at district court for the arraignment of their son in Centennial, Colo. By Sadie Gurman The Associated Press DENVER The parents of Colorado theater shooter James Holmes begged Fri- day for his life to be spared through a plea bargain — a move that rekindled the long-running, emotional debate about whether the horrific details of the mass killing should be played out at his upcoming trial. The statement re- leased by Robert and Ar- lene Holmes emphasized a key legal issue in the tortured history of the case — Holmes' men- tal state when he killed 12 people and injured 70 others, and whether he should die if convicted of the crime. "He is a human being gripped by a severe mental illness," the parents wrote in just their second public comments since the 2012 attack. "We have always loved him, and we do not want him to be executed." The statement also thrust the mass shooting into the spotlight once again at a time of height- ened concerns over theater safety. The hackers who prompted Sony to with- hold the release of "The In- terview" had threated vio- lence against theaters. Prosecutors previously rejected at least one pro- posed plea deal made by attorneys for Holmes, crit- icizing the lawyers for pub- licizing the offer and call- ing it a ploy meant to draw the public and the judge into what should be pri- vate plea negotiations. They said the defense proposal could not be con- sidered genuine because the defense repeatedly re- fused to give them infor- mation needed to evalu- ate it. No details were pro- vided on the information but attorneys have argued in court previously about access to details concern- ing Holmes' mental health. Jury selection is set to begin on Jan. 20 in the trial. It's hard to know exactly what Holmes' legal defense looks like, since court fil- ings have been heavily re- dacted and the findings of two court-ordered san- ity evaluations have been sealed from public view. Defense attorneys don't deny he was the shooter but say he was in the grips of a psychotic episode. The comments by Holmes' parents incensed some survivors of the at- tack and relatives of those killed. They questioned the timing around the holidays and as 9,000 jury sum- monses were being deliv- ered for the trial. "To give a person who committed such a cal- culated, horrific crime a life sentence, to me that's like giving him a slap on the wrist," said Marcus Weaver, who was shot in the arm and whose friend, Rebecca Wingo, died in the attack. Shooter's parents pl ea d fo r hi s li fe COLORADO By Rebecca Santana and Munir Ahmed The Associated Press ISLAMABAD Pakistan hanged two convicted mil- itants Friday in the coun- try's first executions in years, while warplanes and ground forces pounded in- surgent hideouts in a north- west region bordering Af- ghanistan — part of a stepped-up response to the Taliban slaughter of scores of schoolchildren. Unchastened by criticism from all corners of the globe, the Taliban threatened ear- lier Friday to kill more chil- dren if executions were car- ried out as promised. "We can create a mourn- ing situation at the homes of many army generals and politicians," spokesman Mo- hammad Khurassani said in a statement emailed to reporters. A key question now is whether attacking chil- dren will undermine the sympathy many Pakistanis have for the militants. Ana- lysts say the Islamabad gov- ernment needs strong pub- lic support to continue the fight against insurgents in the northwest. Many Pakistanis believe the militants are holy war- riors taking up arms against Pakistan only because the government aligned itself with the unpopular U.S.- led war in Afghanistan. A network of seminaries and religious schools promote religious hate, and some of their leading clerics com- mand widespread respect in the country. Maulana Abdul Aziz, a radical cleric in Islam- abad, warned in his Fri- day sermon at the famous Lal Masjid mosque about a backlash in the event of ex- ecutions. Aziz expressed his sor- row over the schoolchil- dren's deaths but also called for ending the oper- ation against the Taliban in the tribal regions of North Waziristan and Khyber. He called the Taliban "our brothers" and warned that if the military continues its bombardment, "there will be a reaction." But there were signs, al- beit small, that this type of speech will find a tougher audience in Pakistan after Tuesday's attack, when mil- itants strapped with explo- sives broke into a military- run school in Peshawar and killed 148 people — almost all of them children. A few hundred people protested Friday night out- side the Lal Masjid mosque, calling for an end to sup- port for the militants. "We wanted to also send this message that it's not enough for the government to take action against ter- rorists but it's equally im- portant that we should also take action against these supporters of the Taliban," said human rights activist Farzana Bari.
