(Reuters) - A Colorado judge on Thursday set a new trial date in October for James Holmes, the former neuroscience graduate student accused of killing 12 moviegoers in a shooting spree at a suburban Denver cinema in 2012. Arapahoe County District Court Judge Carlos Samour set the October 14 date after a previous February timeframe was vacated because of ongoing legal wrangling over Holmes' sanity and other issues. Holmes, 26, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder stemming from the July 2012 shooting spree that left 12 people dead and 70 others injured. The results have mostly been kept confidential, but prosecutors sought a second evaluation because they said the first had &quot;numerous deficiencies.&quot; Last week, the judge ruled that the first examination of Holmes, a one-time University of Colorado doctoral candidate, was &quot;incomplete and inadequate&quot; and ordered a new evaluation.</p><br clear="all"/>
