ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo.- He's already facing 142 counts, including murder and attempted murder, but now prosecutors are looking to file even more charges against Aurora shooting suspect James Holmes. It's expected to be one of the topics discussed at a hearing Thursday.

James Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 others during a midnight showing of the new Batman movie at an Aurora movie theater on July 20.

A judge has issued a gag order limiting what information lawyers can publicly disclose in the case.

However, a court register has indicated prosecutors want to add 10 counts against Holmes, while amending 17 others.

In a hearing scheduled for Thursday, prosecutors will also set out arguments for why they should be able to see the contents of a notebook Holmes sent to a psychiatrist prior to the shooting.
