#HolmesTrial: Mom of 6-year-old victim testifies

An emotional day of testimony from relatives of the 12 people killed in the Colorado theater shooting has wrapped up, with the mother of the youngest victim saying she doesn’t know who she is anymore.

Ashley Moser was at the movie with her daughter, 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, and was paralyzed and lost her unborn baby in the July 2012 attack.

Speaking in a wheelchair, she testified Wednesday that being a mother is all she knew how to be in her adult life. She was 18 when she had Veronica.

James Holmes’ defense noted seeing seven jurors crying during Moser’s testimony.

Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. says he only saw two jurors crying and wasn’t concerned that they have been overwhelmed by emotion.

Jurors are nearing final deliberations about James Holmes’ sentence.
