"Prosecutors argued Holmes knew exactly what he was doing when he methodically gunned down strangers in the stadium-style theater, taking aim at those who fled. They painted him as a calculated killer who sought to assuage his failures in school and romance with a mass murder that he believed would increase his personal worth.

He snapped photos of himself with fiery orange hair and scrawled his plans for the massacre in a spiral notebook he sent his university psychiatrist just hours before the attack, all in a calculated effort to be remembered, prosecutors said."

Twisted and sick logic at work there, guy is obviously not right in the head if something like that makes sense to him.

That and strait up evil / sociopath,if his "fame" means more than other peoples lives.

I almost skipped a heart beat...at first I thought it said Mike Holmes (I'm not sure how many people here know him).

Life without parole

Let him wear pink jump suits and listen to Barney the rest of his life.

"The prosecution called more than 200 witnesses over two months, more than 70 of them survivors, including some who were missing limbs and using wheelchairs. They recalled the panic to escape the black-clad gunman.

The youngest to die was a 6-year-old girl whose mother also suffered a miscarriage and was paralyzed in the attack. Another woman who was nine months pregnant at the time described her agonizing decision to leave her wounded husband behind in the theater to save their baby. She later gave birth in the same hospital where he was in a coma. He can no longer walk and has trouble talking."

wow, i did not know this. i knew many people were injured but never knew the extent of the injuries. this is so sad.

also the article got one thing wrong, he was not wearing body armor

I still don't understand how killing someone reverses the damage done.

Why waste money keeping someone like this alive?

The death sentence costs more than life imprisonment.

It's not the money, it's the resources, and currently we have them.  

Life without parole is not enough IMO ...

A severe felon like him DESERVES the death penalty in my eyes ...
