(CBS/AP) CENTENNIAL, Colo. - Colorado prosecutors filed 24 counts of murder charges Monday against James Eagan Holmes, the former neuroscience student accused of killing 12 people and injuring 58 others at an Aurora movie theater.
For each victim who died in the rampage, Holmes, 24, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, one for allegedly intending to cause harm and another for allegedly acting with extreme indifference to human life, according to court documents.
Prosecutors also filed 116 counts of attempted murder against Holmes, who Aurora police said booby trapped his apartment with the intent to kill any officers responding there the night of the theater attack. Among the charges Monday was one count of possession of explosives and one count of committing a crime of violence.
Holmes appeared just as dazed as he did in his first court appearance last week, but at one point exchanged a few words with one of his attorneys in the packed courtroom. He was not expected to enter pleas on Monday. He ultimately could verbally enter a plea, or his attorneys could enter it for him.
Unlike Holmes' first court appearance July 23, Monday's hearing was not televised. At the request of the defense, District Chief Judge William Sylvester barred video and still cameras from the hearing, saying expanded coverage could interfere with Holmes' right to a fair trial.
Last week, Sylvester allowed a live video feed that permitted the world its first glimpse of the shooting suspect. With an unruly mop of orange hair, Holmes appeared bleary-eyed and distracted. He did not speak.
Investigators said Holmes began stockpiling gear for his assault four months ago and bought his weapons in May and June, well before the shooting spree just after midnight during a showing of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises."
The four guns retrieved from the shooting were purchased legally at three Colorado gun stores between May 22 and July 6, CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reports. A federal law enforcement source told CBS News that Holmes spent $15,000 fortifying his arsenal online. Authorities found a shipping label from BulkAmmo.com in a dumpster near Holmes' apartment, the source said. EBay was the vendor Holmes used to purchase some body armor, the source said.
Holmes was arrested by police outside the theater. Analysts said that means it's likely there's only one main point of legal dispute between prosecutors and the defense.
"I don't think it's too hard to predict the path of this proceeding," said Craig Silverman, a former chief deputy district attorney in Denver. "This is not a whodunit. ... The only possible defense is insanity."
One development over the weekend brought more grief. A woman who was critically wounded and whose 6-year-old daughter was killed suffered a miscarriage because of the trauma, her family said Saturday. Ashley Moser's daughter, Veronica Moser-Sullivan, was the youngest person killed in the attack.

Cosmic Kev sat down with Nas to talk about his song "Daughters" which appears on his album, Life Is Good. Nas also speaks on how the song would have been different if it had been written for his son.
"As a grown man talking to a young man in the making. That's a whole different conversation," Nas said. "When I'm talking to my daughter it's like I've been single, I've been young, I've been living fast, I've been dating. You know, I've been doing what I'm doing, seeing different girls all over the world and then that day comes when you have a daughter yourself. It just hits you right in the face and just changes your whole idea about everything. You wanna protect her. It's kinda like we're contradicted because we're out there doing what we're doing living an adult life, but we don't won't that for our kids ever."

Rap star 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather Jr. plan to take the UFChead-on for the hearts and wallets of the next generation of fight fans, after forming a company that could dramatically shift the power-base in boxing.
In a revealing interview with News Limited Newspapers, 50 Cent outlined plans to challenge the domination of boxing promoters Golden Boy and Top Rank "immediately", with their new company TMT (The Money Team) Promotions.
Mayweather has been co-ordinating raids to sign boxing's best stars from jail - he is due to be released August 3 - with 50 Cent negotiating the deals and yesterday signing Australia's IBF featherweight champion Billy Dib to a three-year contract.
50 Cent and Billy Dib
"We want to change boxing," said 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, who's amassed a $110 million fortune in the music game.
"The goal initially is to create a company by fighters, for the fighters, which breaks the traditional vibe of promoters taking advantage of fighters.
"We're going to change the demographic also, appeal to the younger demographic.
"You look at UFC and MMA, when their festivities start the place is full, whereas the tradition in boxing is you wait until the main event starts.
"We want to put on cards where there are five main event fights, where there is entertainment from start to finish, cards that command attention all over the world."
50 Cent said TMT Promotions would put on their first show in November, most likely in Las Vegas. That show would likely feature Mayweather's return to the ring.
Many disillusioned boxing fans have switched to the UFC in recent years, tired of mismatches, politics and meaningless alphabet titles, though Mayweather remains the most watched combat athlete on the planet and earns an estimated $40 million per fight.
With the undefeated Mayweather's boxing credentials, and 50 Cent's mass appeal beyond the sport, several contracted top fighters are expected to defect from GBP and Top Rank to join TMT.
"I've already had fighters say to me, 'I wish I could join [TMT] but I've got this contract'," 50 Cent said.
"To me, the options are pretty clear. You can deal with a snake in the grass, a snake in the street or you could try something new."
50 Cent has a well-known story of a tough upbringing in New York, going from teenage drug-dealer to the globe's most recognisable rap star and a successful businessman earning $100 million in a deal to market vitamin water.
"I come from a background where not everything is in your favour, but I always anticipate success, I approach things with a positive outlook," said 50 Cent in reference to his latest venture.
Sydney's Dib is the third fighter on TMT's roster, with stars Yuriorkis Gamboa and Andre Dirrell already on the books.
Andre Dirrell
"I really want to associate myself with the best possible talent, and Billy falls into that category," 50 Cent said.
"Floyd asked me to sign him, he has been watching his career and he has always been a big fan.
"When you have talent, it is important to showcase that talent."

We don't make it a habit of making fun of kids who are just starting their singing careers. In fact we applaud them for having the guts to do what most adults never would. But that doesn't mean they are immune from criticism.
Take 11-year old Harper Gruzins for instance. She is is singer/songwriter from Coppell, Texas. According to her website she plays the guitar and piano and is "able to write songs that seem amazingly deep for her age--yet still reflect her youthful outlook on life."
Harper sang the "Star Bangled-Banner" at the Dallas-Los Angeles MLS match on Saturday, July 28th and it wasn't pretty. Deadspin called it the worst national anthem ever.
The crowd looked confused as Harper struggled through her nearly three-minute rendition of the song.
