Colorado Jurors Decide Aurora Killer Holmes Qualifies for Death Penalty
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes was sentenced to life imprisonment after a divided US jury spared him from a death sentence on August 8, local media reported on Tuesday.

Judge formally sentenced Holmes to life in prison without parole for the murder of 12 people in 2012, ABC News reported on its Twitter account.

Holmes was convicted of 24 counts of first-degree murder, 140 counts of attempted murder and one count of possession of explosives for his role in the July 2012 massacre during a screening of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises” on July 17.
