CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — The latest in the sentencing phase of the Colorado theater shooting trial (all times local):

10:50 a.m.

The judge in the Colorado theater shooting trial has determined that jurors who heard about last week’s deadly shooting at a movie theater in Louisiana could still be impartial.

Twelve jurors said they had seen or heard about Thursday’s shooting through news reports or from friends or family but said they quickly turned away or ended those conversations.

One woman acknowledged that she “wasn’t thinking” when she skimmed an article about the Lafayette shooting that killed two and wounded nine. She mentioned it to her husband, who said he didn’t bring it up because he didn’t think she should know about it.

Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. rejected a defense motion to remove her, partly because she didn’t remember if she read about it before jurors were ordered Friday to avoid media coverage of events similar to the Colorado attack.

Testimony has now resumed in the trial’s sentencing phase.

9:47 a.m.

Jurors deciding whether Colorado theater shooter James Holmes should be sentenced to death or life in prison are being questioned about whether the deadly theater shooting last week in Louisiana might influence them.

Holmes’ lawyers asked Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. on Monday to poll jurors about whether they had seen or read anything about the shooting that killed two and wounded nine others. Twelve jurors raised their hands.

Samour then questioned them individually, asking how much they knew about Thursday’s shooting and whether they had discussed it with anyone.

The defense is concerned that some jurors might want to punish Holmes for possibly inspiring a copycat shooting.

The same jurors deciding his fate convicted him of killing 12 people and injuring 70 in the July 2012 attack.
