| 1 | The jury in the Colorado theater shooting trial resumed deliberating Monday whether to keep the death penalty on the table for gunman James Holmes. |
| 2 | Jurors deliberated for less than an hour Thursday before taking a scheduled day off Friday. |
| 3 | Jurors must decide whether there are any reasons, such as Holmes' mental illness and his trouble-free youth, that mean he should be sentenced to life in prison without parole instead of to death. |
| 4 | If jurors unanimously agree that such factors outweigh the heinousness of the July 2012 attack that killed 12 people and injured 70 others, Holmes would be sentenced to a life term. |
| 5 | The same jury rejected Holmes' insanity defense and convicted him of 165 counts of murder, attempted murder and weapons charges last month. |
