Decision: No Death.
Ridiculous.
ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. - Jurors sentenced the convicted movie theater gunman to 12 life sentences for the murders committed on July 20, 2012 and now the judge has also sentenced the shooter to thousands of additional years for the attempted murders of 70 others.
At 48 years per victim of first degree attempted murder, and because the sentences must be served consecutively, James Holmes is being sent to prison for over 3,000 years. He was also sentenced to 32 years for each of the victims of second degree attempted murder and another six years for the incendiary booby-traps set up in the killer's apartment.
The total of 3,318 years, in addition to the 12 life sentences, is the maximum sentence allowed under Colorado law.
