Batman Killer Programmed by 'Evil' Therapist, Alleges Inmate. (VIDEO)

An alleged inmate of 'Batman' massacre culprit James Holmes claims the shooter told him that he was "programmed" to carry out the massacre by an "evil" therapist.

The shocking story has gone virtually unnoticed after appearing in a blog post on the Denver Westword website last week.

After failing to interest the Arapahoe County District Attorney's Office in his account of what happened, 38-year-old Steven Unruh has now gone public. Unruh was booked into the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office Detention Facility just hours before the 'Batman' massacre unfolded and says that he was still in the booking area when Holmes was brought in.

Unruh then claims that he was able to communicate with Holmes from a nearby cell and that Holmes appeared to show remorse for what had happened.

The most explosive element of what Unruh claims Holmes told him could -- if true -- shed an entirely different light on the circumstances behind the Aurora theater shooting.

"He says that Holmes told him "he felt like he was in a video game" during the shooting, that "he wasn't on his meds" and "nobody would help him." He says Holmes also mentioned NLP — presumably, neuro-linguistic programming, a much-scorned and outmoded approach to psychotherapy — and claimed to have been "programmed" to kill by an evil therapist."
