James Holmes guilty of murder in Colorado theater massacre; jury to weigh death penalty

The jury weighing the fate of Aurora, Colo., gunman James E. Holmes on Thursday found the 27-year-old former neuroscience graduate student guilty of murder and attempted murder in a trial that has grabbed international headlines.

The verdicts -- guilty on all 165 counts -- were announced on the second day of deliberations.

The courtroom was silent as Arapahoe County Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. read the verdicts. Holmes stood motionless beside his attorneys as Samour read out the name of each victim -- the men, the women and the child who were murdered, and those who were injured.
