Theater shooting trial: Verdict

NOTE: THE "SCHEDULED" START TIME OF THIS CHAT IS SIMPLY A PLACEHOLDER. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF WHEN THE JURY WILL REACH A VERDICT, UNTIL THE COURT ANNOUNCES IT IS DONE. Jurors in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial will alert the court after they reach a verdict in each of the 165 counts in the trial of the People v. James Holmes. Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 70 others in a mass shooting inside an Aurora movie theater on July 20, 2012. He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

@Steph- Yes.

by EZ 7/16/2015 10:31:20 PM
Part A is about guilt. Part B is about insanity, not answered if guilty. Part C is about use of a deadly weapon

I have to say, this jury's conclusions restore a great deal of my hope and faith in our legal system....hope and faith that were honestly starting to fade for me personally. Or, maybe Coloradans just typically have a higher IQ than the defense team expected.

What count are we on now

by Tucker 7/16/2015 10:32:43 PM
The officers haven't taken their eyes off of JH.

by MyraJ 7/16/2015 10:32:44 PM

We continue to offer our thoughts & prayers to the victims, their families & our community following the Aurora Theater Shooting verdict.

I think any remarks re: insanity may have caused confusion or possibly even a DT foothold for clarity questions/objections... (?) Remember, there was an attorney juror deliberating. I'm sure she advised to leave "insanity" unadressed/unaccepted in order to steer clear of any possible confusion, if they unanimously rejected insanity (which it appears they did).

by fascinated 7/16/2015 10:35:33 PM

Thank God...

by Flo Travis-pushman 7/16/2015 10:38:05 PM
I bet the families of the victims are feeling very relieved right about now.

by Cindy L 7/16/2015 10:38:06 PM
Yes I thought I also thought I heard lesser degree of 2nd degree attempt on a survivor

by jennifer 7/16/2015 10:38:06 PM
@ Phil, will Channel 7 be carrying the sentencing phase here?

by Marsha Laurienti 7/16/2015 10:38:09 PM
@MarshaLaurienti: Yes, absolutely

by Denver7 7/16/2015 10:38:18 PM
We listened to it again and confirmed, on Count regarding Zach Golditch, the verdict was guilty on attempted 2nd degree murder. One of the lesser included charges.

by Denver7 7/16/2015 10:39:39 PM
Grats Jward! You have awesome timing!

by Abrandt 7/16/2015 10:39:41 PM
Can the jury even recommend DP today?

by Brenda Cash 7/16/2015 10:39:42 PM
im not shocked,at all 165 counts

by nicky lup 7/16/2015 10:39:43 PM
@fascinated - I think they would only go on to complete Part B if he was found Not Guilty in Part A. That was one of the discussions surrounding the verdict forms with the DT and PT

by Edy 7/16/2015 10:39:44 PM
During the sentencing phase is when those additional witnesses are needed, right?

by vt 7/16/2015 10:39:44 PM
As always...thank you! :)

by Marsha Laurienti 7/16/2015 10:39:49 PM
Will be curious if JH parents take the stand during sentencing phase next week.

by Danny 7/16/2015 10:39:50 PM
@ Jennifer & vmo - I thought I heard that too!

by colo 7/16/2015 10:41:30 PM
Hard to believe they still have ~100 more counts to address...
