A jury in the US state of Colorado has spared gunman James
Holmes the death penalty for killing 12 people at a screening of a Batman film
in 2012.
He will serve life in jail without the possibility of
parole.
The defence team had argued that the former neuroscience
graduate student, now 27, was insane at the time.
The jury agreed with prosecutors that Holmes, though
mentally ill, was responsible for his actions. But it was not unanimous on the
death penalty.
That lack of agreement meant the jury accepted he would
receive an automatic life sentence without parole.(s:bbc uk)
The question now, is justice done or not?
