Holmes to Hear Decision Monday Monday is the big day for James Holmes and all his victims, as the man charged with killing 12 people at a Colorado movie theater last summer will find out whether prosecutors will seek his execution or agree to send him to prison for the rest of his life.

"Those are astronomical numbers. I'm floored," said William Graf, a pediatric neurologist in New Haven, Connecticut. "Mild symptoms are being diagnosed so readily, which goes well beyond the disorder and beyond the zone of ambiguity to pure enhancement of children who are otherwise healthy."
