CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — The man who unleashed a murderous attack on a packed Colorado movie theater was ordered Wednesday to serve life in prison without parole plus 3,318 years — the maximum allowed by law — before the judge told deputies, "Get the defendant out of my courtroom, please."
The gallery applauded the remark by Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. as he gaveled the hearing to a close, ending a grueling three-year wait to see the gunman brought to justice.

Three years to bring a perp with a ridiculous amount of evidence to justice.... our courts are broken.
I’d give him one year with the the victims photos on the cell wall. Then he gets the bullets.
Actually, life in prison costs society less than death, since that sets in motion years of legal expenses.
Hopefully, he dies in a prison “accident”.
What BS. Child killers are released from prison alive all the time. The thought that prison inmates will bring justice is laughable. They will prey on him if he is weak, not because of what he did.
Short walk, depending on which floor of the courthouse they were on.
Liberals run the planet. We could be extinct in a year tops.
a ‘Dahmer’ ? He’s fair game. They know it.
I believe there was. A little girl went to the movies with her grandparents. Or I may be thinking of some other mass shooting..................
Bet he gets out in 2,212 years.
No. Since he can’t do three thousand years he should be shot. F the judge.
Defendant? He’s not a defendant, he’s a convict.
Should’a hanged him within twenty minutes of sentencing.
PUBLIC HANGING IN TOWN SQUARE.
There was a “staunch” anti-death penalty juror that stopped it.
They should add options to the judge’s sentencing portfolio, such as “shank in the cell” or “6 sausages in the shower.” Holmes’ life behind bars should be a living hell. But it will not.
