Though prosecutors objected to the delay, Judge William Sylvester granted it. In a motion on view below, he says the issue is "extremely important, as either a member of law enforcement has committed perjury...or a journalist has fabricated a story." The perjury comment refers to a December hearing at which several police officers who had access to the notebook -- including Aurora detectives and the police chief at the University of Colorado, where Holmes was a student and where the notebook was found -- testified that they were not the unnamed sources cited in Winter's story. Winter reported in July that the notebook contained details about how Holmes "was going to kill people."
