Heard on the news the other morning that body armor was in evidence at the trial of the shit bag who shot up the theater.

Last I heard, it was nylon tac vest and similar.

Anybody know for sure whether or not he had armor?

Key word here is news. The media says any tac vest is "evil military grade body armor"

The problem is that  media people are notoriously clueless and rely more on emotionally laden buzzwords rather than the facts.  To them, a tactical vest is the same thing as body armor exactly the same way that M855 is the same thing as armor piercing ammo and an AR-15 is the same thing as a machine gun.  We're not going to know for certain until we start seeing photos.
