Colorado Jury Reaches First Verdict in the Sentencing Phase of James Holmes' Trial.
BALDWIN: We have some breaking news right now out of Colorado where the jury has reached its first verdict in the sentencing phase James Holmes trial. Let me bring in Ana Cabrera who is live in Denver. What have they found?</s>ANA CABRERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, the bottom line, Brooke, we now know James Holmes could still possibly receive the death penalty. There are three phases of the sentencing hearing or this small trial that is expected to take about a month. And they just finished phase one in which the prosecution had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt aggravating factors in the murders of the 12 people that James Holmes' convicted of already. And so, what they did was they come back with their verdict saying the prosecution proved four aggravating factors this moves now into the next phase. It's the defense's turn to put on a case of mitigating factors or reasons why they believe James Holmes' life should be spared and that he should be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. They will probably present character witnesses, including family members, friends. We know that the jurors will hear from a fifth grade teacher of Holmes and they likely really emphasize Holmes' mental illness. Remember, during the initial guilt phase of this trial, we heard from several mental health experts who all agreed that Holmes suffers severe mental illness. Now, the jury did not believe that that mental illness made him insane at the time of the crime which is why he was con convicted of murder but that could play a key role here in the sentencing phase. Now, this next phase that is crucial because the jury will then determine whether the mitigating factors that the defense presents outweigh the aggravating factors that they just felt and found him guilty on. And if the mitigating factors outweigh, the aggravating factors, that's when they criticized that Holmes should be sentenced to life in prison without parole. If they don't find that to be the case, it moves to a third phase in which we'll hear from the victims who -- and their impact statements, prosecution trying to make their case for a death sentence. And, again, that will ultimately be the end of this case when they move through that phase and will decide on life in prison or parole. So this just keeps moving along, Brooke.</s>BALDWIN: OK. You are all over this, Ana Cabrera. I really, really appreciate the update there in the sentencing phase one. Ana, thank you very much. We are going to take a quick break. When we come back, we showed you just a bit of that news conference out of Texas involving the death of Sandra Bland. This was after she was arrested for resisting arrest according to law enforcement there. She was placed in a jail cell. They found her dead. The sheriff says it was suicide and they have just now presented multiple pieces of evidence, even photos from her autopsy that they say are indeed consistent with suicide. Those details next.
