....does this caption really need to specify that Holmes is the "third from right" person in the image? I mean, really?

In this courtroom sketch, suspect James Holmes, third from right, sits in district court Monday, July 30, 2012, in Centennial, Colo., during his arraignment where he was formally charged with 24 counts of murder and 116 counts of attempted murder in the shooting rampage at an Aurora movie theater, on July 20. From left are: District Judge William Blair Sylvester; suspect James Holmes; and defense attorneys Daniel King and Tamara Brady.
