Fox News reporter Jana Winter won’t have to testify about notebook in theater shooting case

From The Denver Post:  The Fox News reporter who wrote about the Aurora movie theater gunman’s notebook won’t have to testify about how she learned about the crucial document, after the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal on the matter.

Lawyers for James Holmes had appealed a New York court order shielding Jana Winter from testifying about her sources. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court announced that it had denied the appeal, known as a petition for certiorari.

Winter reported that the notebook, which Holmes mailed to his psychiatrist just before the attack on the Century Aurora 16 movie theater in July 2012, contained violent drawings and plans. She cited unnamed law enforcement sources in her report.
