Although that package turned out to be from someone else and harmless, a search of the Campus Services' mailroom turned up another package sent to the psychiatrist with Holmes’ name in the return address, the source told FoxNews.com.
Having a hard time understanding that the psychiatrist called FBI about a suspicious package, but it was a false alarm, but they searched the mailroom and magically found one from him.
Huh? Just... just... HuH???edit on 7/25/2012 by new_here because: (no reason given)

EXCLUSIVE: Movie massacre suspect sent chilling notebook to psychiatrist before attack

– James Holmes, the accused gunman in last Friday's midnight movie massacre in Colorado, mailed a notebook "full of details about how he was going to kill people" to a University of Colorado psychiatrist before the attack, but the parcel sat unopened in a mailroom for as long as a week before its discovery Monday, a law enforcement source told FoxNews.com.
Police and FBI agents were called to the University of Colorado Anschutz medical campus in Aurora on Monday morning after the psychiatrist, who is also a professor at the school, reported receiving a package believed to be from the suspect. Although that package turned out to be from someone else and harmless, a search of the Campus Services' mailroom turned up another package sent to the psychiatrist with Holmes’ name in the return address, the source told FoxNews.com.
A second law enforcement source said authorities got a warrant from a county judge and took the package away Monday night. When it was opened, its chilling contents were revealed.
“There were drawings of what he was going to do in it--drawings and illustrations of the massacre."

I have to disagree with the assumption that all you have to do is memorize stuff. Programs especially those in Neuroscience require you to be able to answer questions in terms of real world scenarios. They offer you open ended questions with a plethora of ways to approach them, but only a few answers would be considered "correct". It does however sound like he failed an oral examination of this type.. But that examination would have occurred after he had already begun his plans.. I'm under the impression that he was failing his program because he had already given up on it, knowing what his plans were. Of course that is speculation, but it makes more sense to me.
The Denver Post reports that Holmes lived in an apartment not far from the movie theatre. According to the paper, public records show that Holmes lived with two roommates from California. Holmes described himself as "quiet and easy-going” on the rental application form he filled out last year, The Post reports
Public records indicate that Holmes lived with two roommates, also from California, in the Aurora building where police have found explosives, at 1690 Paris St., Apt. 10. The building is reserved for students, faculty and staff from the medical campus.
MSNBC reports that public records show Holmes lived with two roommates at the apartment, which is reserved for students, faculty and staff from the medical campus.

There are also plenty of people out there with doctorates that are far from being a dolt. May I ask you what your doctorate is in if it is so easy to obtain one?

I don't get all the conspiracies surrounding this. Why would the police have not taken the shooter out to prevent him from talking?
Does not make sense.

He is a sociopath who was failing at all his works, even close to eviction. I could see him sending it in order to add evidence for an insanity plea later on-he still thinks he can win afterall.

Yes, yes you do.
Plenty of dolts out there with doctorates.
Edit to add:
All it takes is memorizing crap from a book and putting it on paper when asked.
There are so many even PhD levels out there that nobody is really impressed anymore in the job market.
Remember: Average IQ doesnt mean you scored a 100, it means you were completely average on the bell curve and thus were marked at 100. Similarly with Unniversity programs, some you classes you can score 50% on every test and as long as more people got less than you-you get an A.edit on 25-7-2012 by lordtyp0 because: adding bottom area

Yep, and again-he was failing his neuro program
He withdrew before they failed him. Nothing is indicating he gave up on it. According to his intern guy he would simply not complete projects, are argumentative, had mediocre grades (his high school was an Alternative Education program for students failing in the normal school system btw)... He was not bright or brilliant.
Everyone with study could make a masters or higher.
