ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. - Jurors sentenced the convicted movie theater gunman to 12 life sentences for the murders committed on July 20, 2012 and now the judge has also sentenced the shooter to thousands of additional years for the attempted murders of 70 others.

At 48 years per count of first degree attempted murder, and because the sentences must be served consecutively, James Holmes is being sent to over 3,000 years in prison.

It is the maximum sentence allowed under Colorado law.

During the final sentencing hearing, which started Monday, witnesses, survivors and family members were given unrestricted permission to speak in open court about the crime and how it affected them. Many asked District Court Judge Carlos Samour to hand down the maximum sentence.

"I do hope that the maximum penalty will be imposed against James Eagan Holmes for the crimes he committed against humanity," said Carli Richards, who was wounded in the shooting.[/quote]
