FBI bomb expert Christopher Rigopoulos discussed incendiary devices on Day 10 of the James Holmes trial.

Prosecutors have suggested聽that the devices investigators found聽in James Holmes鈥 apartment were not only incendiary devices, but an intricate chain reaction designed to explode. In fact, Rigopoulos says there were three different ways that these devices could be set off:聽from yanking the dfront oor, from a remote control connected to the remote control car which was placed near the Dumpster outside and from another remote control (placed near a聽plant on an inside table) which when pointed at a 鈥渓aunch control receiver.鈥 Heat from聽鈥減ickle jars鈥 containing napalm would have risen聽to 4,000 degrees Farenheit, according to Rigopoulos.

Some jury members聽asked聽questions, which聽helped clarify聽the聽complex setup investigators found at Holmes' apartment.
