A jury's been seated for the murder trial of James Holmes, the man charged in the mass shooting that killed 12 people at a Denver-area movie theater in 2012.

Just before 6:00 local time in Denver, our sister station KMGH's reporters began tweeting the jury had been set at 19 women and five men — half of those people being jurors and the other half alternates.
