Feature: First video of arrested, red-haired Holmes shown to court on theater shooter's trial

James Holmes was sluggish and slow to answer questions from police, less than two hours after he admitted firing hundreds of bullets into an unsuspecting movie theater crowd in 2012.

In a video released in court Monday, Holmes, charged with killing 12 people and injuring 58 at the midnight showing of a Batman premiere, also raised eyebrows across the courtroom when he showed an unexpected concern for children.

"There wasn't any children hurt?" Holmes asked, in a sudden awareness of the horror he had just perpetuated, during a three-minute video showing his interview with the police. In the video, Holmes behaved confused, evasive and disoriented.

As the long-awaited Holmes' trial entered its second week, more of the horror perpetuated on that hot, summer night, July 20, 2012, was revealed in court.

Prosecutors showed a video interview of a wide-eyed, red-haired Holmes just after the shooting, a stark contrast from the dark, short-haired, bespectacled man - pointed to by several policemen as the perpetrator of the crime - in court Monday.

The video riveted the courtroom and will not be shown to the public. It showed the famous "post-shooting" Holmes interview for the first-time, but was cut short due to "technical difficulties."

In the video, Holmes appears clean-shaven, with his hair dyed red-orange and displaying "crazy" behavior, supporting the insanity plea is using to avoid the potential death penalty.

If the jury of 24 men and women find Holmes was sane at the time of the mass shooting, one of the worst in U.S. history, he faces execution.

At one point during the interview, Holmes started flipping paper cups into the air, from the edge of the interview table, hoping to land them on top of an empty water bottle, according to Chuck Mehl, a veteran police officer who interrogated Holmes hours after the deadly shooting.

In the first look at Holmes following the shooting, he appeared wearing only blue boxer shorts and a tee shirt that looked ripped past one of his shoulders across his chest, like a Roman toga.

More emotions jumped when prosecutors, despite the objections of defense lawyers, showed the jury a victim's prosthetic leg.

Adan Avila, in his twenties, had just jumped on top of his new wife when "flashes of light from a few feet away" filled the air. It was gunfire, coming from the front of the theater.

Monday in court, Avila walked slowly to the front of the jury box, rolled up his right pant leg, and displayed the prosthetic right leg he inherited from the shooting. The courtroom watched in silence.

Somehow after getting hit several times, Avila managed to crawl, collapse, stumble and jump past the shooter and out the exit with his four friends, through the chaos and dark, smoke-filled theater.

They barely made it out alive.

"I was in his (Holmes') line of sight," said Jennifer Avila-Arredondo, wife of Avila. "He probably would have killed me (if his gun had not jammed)," she told the court.

Her husband, after being helped by others, waited on the curb outside for an ambulance "for many minutes" because there were "worse off" people.

Avila was also shot in the arm and had his back riddled with shrapnel.

"His leg was blown apart," described his wife.

Avila-Arredondo's remark was accurate, as a bloody, gory picture showed her husband's right leg almost severed at the knee, hanging on by skin. Members of the jury looked away in disgust.

A final, new piece of evidence was released Monday with the audio recording of a phone call Holmes made to the University of Colorado hotline just eight minutes before the attack.

The call was presumably to his psychologist Lynn Fenton, who was aware of his homicidal inclinations but not available at the time of the call.

In the short call, replayed Monday, Holmes said nothing, but background noise suggests he was actually inside the theater, just minutes before the attack.

"Good evening, this is Ann, may I help you?" the live hotline operator asked the caller from Holmes's cell phone at 12:31 am local time. The silent answer, filled with static and noise, lasted a few more seconds.

Eight minutes later, bullets ripped into the audience of 400. Endi
