Aurora Theater Shooting Judge Denies Motion To Be Replaced

Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr., who is presiding over the trial of Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting suspect James Eagan Holmes, has denied a motion by defense attorneys asking that he be replaced. The defense argued in the motion that he has used "hostile and demeaning" language in his rulings during the case, and implied that Samour's comments show a bias on his part against Holmes.
