Holmes is charged with 166 counts, mostly murder and attempted murder, in the July 20 assault on moviegoers at a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Aurora, a Denver suburb. News organizations won't be allowed to have their own cameras in the courtroom during the Colorado theater shooting trial, but they can use video and still images from a closed-circuit TV camera already in the courtroom, the judge said Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2014.

Jurors in the Aurora Movie Theater Shooting trial are being asked to decide if they believe the case warrants putting the gunman in prison for the rest of his life or taking another step toward the death penalty.
James Holmes has already been convicted of killing 12 people and injuring 70 others in the July 20, 2012 mass shooting. Jurors have also already concluded there are aggravating factors in the case.
In their phase 2 deliberations jurors are asked to decide if mitigating factors are present and if they outweigh the aggravating factors.
