Aurora theater shooting emergency response report at heart of hearing

From The Denver Post:  Whether an outside review of Aurora’s emergency response to the theater shooting two years ago should be released to the public was at the heart of a hearing Thursday in Arapahoe County District Court.

Attorneys for the city, defendant James Holmes and the prosecution made their cases before District Court Judge Stephen Collins.

Prosecutor Rich Orman said the report by TriData should remain sealed until after the trial. One of Holmes’ public defenders, Katherine Spengler, said the report commissioned by the city should stay under wraps as well. Attorney Carrie Johnson, an outside lawyer hired by the city of Aurora, wanted guidance either way.

Collins said he would review open records and criminal justice laws and issue a written decision.
