Defense attorney Brian Monahan cautioned jurors to think hard before carrying out that sentence, however.
“Your decision is a decision that will weigh heavily upon you for the rest of your life,” Monahan told each juror Monday afternoon.
Jurors started deliberating Monday in Holmes’ homicide trial. The jury convicted the 39-year-old Easton man last week of killing Miguel Aponte. Houck said the 2009 shooting in the Easton Café came in revenge for the shooting death of Holmes’ friend, Jason Oliver, in 2006.
Houck said factors that warrant the death penalty include the fact that Holmes committed a related felony. He was not licensed to carry a concealed weapon, the gun used to kill Aponte. He also put eight people at risk when he fired the six shots into Aponte.
