Lawyers for Colorado Movie Gunman to Wrap Up Case

Lawyers trying to avoid the death penalty for Colorado movie massacre gunman James Holmes are due to wrap up their case on Friday, . They hope they have convinced jurors he was legally insane when he carried out one of the worst U.S. mass shootings. The lawyers admit he killed 12 people and wounded 70 when he opened fire with a semiautomatic rifle, shotgun and pistol inside a movie theater in 2012. They also didn't deny that Holmes rigged his apartment with bombs before he left. But they say he suffers schizophrenia and was not in control of his actions. Iris Eytan, an attorney contacted by Holmes' family the day of the Aurora theater shooting, told AP in June that the gunman's life is at a turning point.
