News: James Holmes, the mass murderer who killed 12 innocent people and injured 60 other people, got life in prison without parole. “The thought that this monster gets to have visitation from his parents and gets to receive mail and pictures from his very strange girlfriends is very hard to accept, but this is what it is,” said Sandy Phillips, whose 24-year-old daughter Jessica Ghawi was killed in the attack according to the New York Daily News. Why? The defense claimed he was mentally ill and couldn’t tell right from wrong. The defense said Holmes would plead guilty two years ago in return for life imprisonment, so in effect the prosecution wasted two years, not to mention money and most importantly, heartbreak. A terrible verdict however it has been a week for people decisions based upon conscious.
