Final phase of James Holmes’ sentencing begins

Jurors in the Colorado theater shooting trial are back in court to hear testimony from relatives of those killed in the July 2012 attack.

The testimony Tuesday comes as prosecutors make their final push to have gunman James Holmes sentenced to death.

Jurors decided in less than three hours that no factors, such as Holmes’ mental illness, outweighed the horror of the attack and called for a life sentence instead.

However, jurors could still vote for a life sentence in the final round or one could be imposed if they all can’t agree on the death penalty.
