Jurors have unanimously agreed the death penalty should remain an option for Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes as the sentencing portion of his trial heads to its final phase.
The decision clears the way for a last plea from both sides, including what is expected to be gripping and emotional testimony from victims about the harm and suffering Holmes caused with his slaughter.
After those arguments, the jury will make its final decision on whether the 27-year-old should die by lethal injection or spend the rest of his life in prison.
If jurors did not unanimously agree that mitigation outweighs aggravation, Holmes would have been automatically sentenced to life in prison.
The same jury last month convicted Holmes of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 2012 attack at a suburban Denver movie theater. Jurors rejected the defense claim that mental illness had so warped his mind that he could not tell right from wrong.
