CENTENNIAL, Colo. – The latest in the sentencing phase of the Colorado theater shooting trial (all times local):
10:40 a.m.
Jurors have reached a decision on whether to keep the death penalty as an option for Colorado theater shooter James Holmes.
A court spokesman said the decision would be announced at 12:30 p.m. MDT.
Jurors began deliberating Thursday after Holmes' parents made an emotional plea for mercy because he is mentally ill. The jury took Friday off and resumed deliberations Monday.
The nine women and three men were asked to decide whether Holmes' mental illness and other circumstances mean he should be sentenced to life in prison instead of death for the 2012 attack that left 12 people dead and 70 injured.
