We obviously can't tell for certain if James had ALL the side effects of scopolamine but from his first mugshot photo and various statements we've heard from police, it's a definite possibility. We've seen his dilated pupils, flushed skin, reddish eyes, and how out of it he was during his first court hearing. The cops have also testified that after having been placed into the police car, James Holmes was pulled out again because he “was fidgeting a lot in the back of the patrol car.” Subsequently, police officers removed all of James’ clothes, “down to his underwear” while one officer held each of his arms. Sounds like he was restless. During his arrest, James was described as “dripping with sweat,” “very relaxed,” “detached from it all,” “not having a normal emotional response,” "staring off into the distance and he seemed disoriented." Also, "his pupils were big.” However, the arresting Aurora officers "did not have any reason to believe he was on drugs or alcohol." Subsequently, James Holmes was never tested for drugs or alcohol. During one of last month's hearings I heard testimony from one of the detectives that interrogated James right when he was brought to the jail. He stated that when asked if he needed anything James replied, "water and oxygen." If I had shortness of breath I would ask for water and oxygen too.
