CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) – The latest in the sentencing phase of the Colorado theater shooting trial (all times local):

11:49 a.m.

The judge in the Colorado theater shooting trial chastised some survivors Monday for criticizing the outcome of the trail.

Survivors and witnesses of the 2012 movie theater attack are testifying in a final sentencing phase for shooter James Holmes. Though a jury sentenced him to life without parole for 12 counts of murder, the judge in the case is now hearing impact statements to set sentences on 141 other counts, including attempted murder.

Some survivors complained that Holmes will serve life in prison instead of being executed.
