During the trial of Colorado theater shooter today, the jury made the decision that despite shooter James Holmes’ schizophrenia the option to give him the death penalty should remain open. The victim impact statements were then presented to the jury.

Holmes elected not to be present for that section of the trial. People appear divided as to whether Holmes should be eligible to die considering his mental illness but no one contends that he’s innocent.
