Holmes's mother suggests ABC News mischaracterized her statement - POLITICO.com

Arlene Holmes, the mother of Colorado theater shooting suspect James Holmes, has suggested that ABC News mischaracterized her when it reported that her initial statement to the reporter, "you have the right person," was a reference to her son.

"This statement is to clarify a statement made by ABC media. I was awakened by a call from a reporter by ABC on July 20 about 5:45 in the morning. I did not know anything about a shooting in Aurora at that time," Holmes said in a statement this afternoon, read to the national press by attorney Lisa Damiani. "He asked if I was Arlene Holmes and if my son was James Holmes who lives in Aurora, Colorado. I answered yes, you have the right person. I was referring to myself."

Entire story is interesting. James Holmes has now lawyered-up. I wonder if this retraction is because ABC news got the story wrong, or because Ms. Holmes has been advised to do this by her son's attorneys.

I think either is possible.

If is no recording of her saying that then I am inclined to believe her.

This is the problem with the media. They arent trustworthy.

I hate the fact that the media is sloppy. I would so run the media differently.
