CENTENNIAL, Colo., Aug. 7 (UPI) -- James Eagan Holmes, the man who gunned down a dozen people at a midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises three years ago, was sentenced by a Colorado jury on Friday to life in prison without parole.
The jury announced earlier Friday that it had agreed on the punishment for Holmes' conviction, which the same jury handed down last month. The sentence was announced at 5 p.m. local time.
