Final Juror Cuts Underway In Colorado Theater Shooting Trial

(AP) — Attorneys in the Colorado theater shooting case are making their final decisions about the jurors who will decide the fate of the man charged with killing 12 people and injuring 70 others nearly three years ago. Jury selection entered its final stage Monday with the judge, prosecutors and defense attorneys questioning prospective jurors as a large group. Court officials initially summoned 9,000 prospective jurors, who spent weeks filling out lengthy written questionnaires. Hundreds of people were asked to return for one-on-one questioning, where defense attorneys, prosecutors and the judge questioned them, sometimes for hours, about their views on the death penalty, mental illness and other aspects of the criminal justice system. [...] attorneys will likely ask questions about the rule of law and how prospective jurors gauge the credibility of witnesses who testify.
