CENTENNIAL: Batman movie premiere shooter who killed 12 people has escaped death penalty but he will spend rest of his life behind bars.
A Colorado jury failed to unanimously agree on execution for 27-year-old former graduate student James Holmes, obliging the judge to impose a sentence of life without parole.
Last month James had been convicted of murdering 12 people in the first degree and scores more charges including murder, attempted murder and explosives possession.
