James Holmes awaited news of his fate. (Would his madness be held to mitigateHis terrible sin, his awful crimes; Life or Death, How to decide?) What is Justice for multiple homicides? He murdered twelve and injured more; Now what would the verdict hold in store? A lethal injection, A Lover’s pinch, was that the outcome he devoutly wished? Else he would get the world and time to contemplate his awful crimes. He’d be Locked away from the world of men; never to be free again. Haunted by souls he condemned to death; who had cursed him with their dying breath.
Life, the jury has decreed, as punishment for his awful deed.
He'll be locked in the prison of his mind; an awful penance is this gift of time.
