CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — Prosecutors have been giving jurors in the death penalty trial of James Holmes a picture of the carnage Holmes caused inside a suburban Denver theater in July 2012, calling survivors and first responders to the witness stand, presenting photos of the wounded and playing 911 calls.
Tuesday's session ended with one of those calls. It was from a 13-year-old seeking help for her cousin's girlfriend, Ashley Moser, and her daughter, Veronica Moser-Sullivan. The 6-year-old was the youngest person killed in the attack. Now 16, Kaylan Marie Bailey told jurors a dispatcher tried to talk her through performing CPR but Moser, who ended up being paralyzed and losing her unborn baby, was laying face down over her daughter.
Earlier, one of the police officers who responded described trying to save the 6-year-old. As he picked up the bleeding girl and ran out of the theater, Officer Michael Hawkins said everyone around him "let out a scream and moved" out of his way as he raced her to an ambulance.
The defense did not question any of the people in the theater that night.
Holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
