'Chilling notebook' first reported by FoxNews.com revealed at James Holmes trial   Published May 27, 2015      

Why Jana Winter's stand is so important to the free pressEvidence submitted at the trial of Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes affirmed a bombshell 2012 scoop by FoxNews.com - an exclusive report that prompted a two-year First Amendment battle that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, put so-called "shield laws" in the public spotlight and threatened to land a journalist in jail just for doing her job.

The brown, spiral-bound notebook, titled "Of Life" and first reported by FoxNews.com nearly three years ago, is a key piece of evidence in the trial of Holmes, who has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to 166 charges, including 12 counts of murder, in the rampage at a midnight showing in Aurora of the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises." On Tuesday, Aurora Police Sgt. Matthew Fyles read in court excerpts from the notebook, in which Holmes' frightening words revealed the thoughts of a budding mass killer.
