It has been a while since the media has spoken about the Colorado shooter. Should he received the death penalty?
[h=1]Aurora shooting jurors cry during emotional testimony:[/h]Jurors in the Colorado theater shooting case fought back tears as they looked at gruesome autopsy photos of a 6-year-old victim and were told how the bullets ripped through her tiny body.
Prosecutors used a mannequin on Thursday to explain the fatal gunshot wounds suffered by some of the 12 victims, allegedly killed by gunman James Holmes. The panel also heard a chilling 911 call that captured the chaos during the July 2012 shooting inside the Aurora cinema.
People in the audience sobbed and gasped as they listened to the grueling testimony about how the moviegoers died, the Denver Post reported.
The trail against Holmes wrapped up its fourth week Thursday. Holmes, 27, is accused of killing 12 people and injuring another 70 when he opened fire inside an Aurora theater playing “The Dark Knight Rises” in July 2012.
The youngest victim, 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, was at the midnight showing with her mom.
Arapahoe County Coroner Kelly Lear-Kaul, who examined the bodies of six people, said little Veronica was shot four times, with bullets tearing through her abdomen.
Prosecutors presented X-ray photos of the little girl. One showed a breathing tube inserted by medics. Others showed the bullets lodged in her pelvis. The photos were so harrowing that one juror could merely glance at them.
As Lear-Kaul explained the 6-year-old’s fatal wounds to the jury on Thursday, Veronica’s dad, Ian Sullivan, silently stared at the seat in front of him.
Lear-Kaul also explained how five other victims died. Over defense objections, the judge allowed her to use the mannequin to explain the ghastly wounds.
After the gut-wrenching testimony, the jury that was chatty and friendly at the start of the day left the court in silence.
On Thursday, the panel also heard a 30-second 911 call from theater patron Keven Quinonez.
The audio recorded about 30 of the 76 shots fired inside the theater, 7 News Denver reported. The dispatcher repeatedly asked Quinonez for his address, unable to understand him among other moviegoers’ screams.
