Dear faces 179 counts, including first-degree murder, attempted murder and other charges. The incident locked down schools and hospitals for several hours on Black Friday.
Authorities have not publicly discussed a suspected motive for the Planned Parenthood assault.
“Seeing the building and walking through it was very emotional and we’ve spent the week processing it”, said Vicki Cowart, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Rocky Mountains. She sat stoically during Dear’s outbursts.
Dear is scheduled to be back in court February 24 for a status hearing.
