Karen Pearson, the lead prosecutor, also said in court that CU officials reported the threats to university police and cut off Holmes' access card, blocking his ability to enter secure areas of buildings at the campus.

University officials later said they could not discuss a threat but said that Holmes's access card was de-activated when he voluntarily withdrew from the program.

Expert: Package to Holmes' psychiatrist may not be privileged

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/27/us/colorado-shooter-package/index.html

But Alta Charo, a professor of law and medical ethicist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, said it was not so clear. She described the legal code as "a messy business, because it actually varies from state to state."

Dr. Joseph J. Fins, chief of the division of medical ethics at Weill Cornell Medical College at New York Presbyterian Hospital, noted that doctor-patient confidentiality is considered sacrosanct, except in isolated cases where, to protect the patient or others, it can be breached.

If the package arrived after last Friday's shooting spree, the matter becomes a judicial question that could be settled by whether its contents were subpoenaed, he said.


"After the fact, there may be no further harm to be prevented," Fins said. At that point, it's up to the individual psychiatrist to decide whether to consider the information privileged anyway, he said

The text message, sent to another graduate student in early July, was cryptic and worrisome. Had she heard of “dysphoric mania,” James Eagan Holmes wanted to know?

The psychiatric condition, a form of bipolar disorder, combines the frenetic energy of mania with the agitation, dark thoughts and in some cases paranoid delusions of major depression.

She messaged back, asking him if dysphoric mania could be managed with treatment. Mr. Holmes replied: “It was,” but added that she should stay away from him “because I am bad news.”

Other students said Mr. Holmes did his rotations in the laboratories of Achim Klug, who studies the auditory system; Mark Dell’Acqua, who does basic research on synaptic signaling; and Dr. Curt Freed, whose work focuses on messenger chemicals in the brain and stem cell transplants in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
