Death Penalty Sought For James Holmes; Trial Set For Feb. 2014

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Arapahoe County prosecutors will seek the death penalty against graduate school dropout James Holmes, accused of first-degree murder in the deaths of 12 Aurora movie theater-goers last July.

At a court hearing Monday, District Attorney George Brauchler formally rejected a defense bid that Holmes plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence without parole. Holmes also faces charges for nearly 70 others who were wounded by gunfire or injured while fleeing. Judge William Sylvester entered a not guilty plea on Holmes' behalf last month.
