Lawyers: Colo shooting suspect can't go to hearing

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — The man charged with the Colorado movie theater killings has an unspecified condition that will keep him from attending a court hearing scheduled for Thursday, defense lawyers said.

Court documents filed Wednesday gave no details of James E. Holmes' condition. The documents said only that it "renders him unable to be present in court for (Thursday's) hearing."

The defense asked Arapahoe County District Judge William B. Sylvester to postpone the hearing, which was scheduled to discuss pretrial motions and media requests for information under state open records laws.
