Woman jailed for outburst during Colorado movie massacre trial
A woman protesting against capital punishment stood up in court on Thursday and shouted “Don’t kill him!” before bailiffs tackled her during the penalty phase of James Holmes’ mass murder trial in Colorado. The disturbance by spectator Deborah Cave came as the district attorney addressed jurors who will ultimately decide whether Holmes, convicted of fatally shooting 12 people in a movie theater in 2012, will be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole. It is mental illness!” Caves cried as she climbed over rows of seats toward Holmes, 27, in the crowded courtroom at the Arapahoe County Justice Center on the outskirts of Denver.
