Under state law, a lack of a unanimous verdict means the killer is automatically sentenced to life in prison.
Northampton County District Attorney Terence Houck confirmed the verdict just after 8 p.m. Monday. The jury had deliberated for more than three hours.
Northampton County President Judge Michael Koury will impose the sentence of life without parole as well as Holmes’ sentence for conspiracy to commit murder on Feb. 23.
The death penalty phase of Holmes’ trial lasted two days. It took a week for jurors to convict him of capital murder.
