CENTENNIAL, Colo. 鈥� At first, the Gmail chats between Aurora theater shooter James Holmes and his then-girlfriend Gargi Datta were innocuous enough.
Starting in October 2012, the pair flirtatiously chatted about gaming, school and lab rotations. Their typed conversations, full of pop culture references, are peppered with emoticons and sexual innuendo.
At one point, Holmes told Datta, 鈥�(Y)ou can鈥檛 get enough of my sexy (N)eo body.鈥�
By March, however, their correspondence turned downright frightening. In a chat dated March 25, 2012, Datta told him, 鈥�(D)o what you feel like doing, its (sic) a (S)unday afternoon.鈥�
He replied, 鈥�(W)ell what I feel like doing is evil so can鈥檛 do that.鈥� She asked him, 鈥�(W)hat is so evil that you want to do?鈥�
The shooter, now facing the death penalty, had a simple answer:
鈥淜ill people of course,鈥� he said.
The court Monday released Datta and Holmes鈥� full online correspondence, dated between October and March of 2012.
