ROMANS: Guilty on all counts. Jurors in the trial of the Colorado movie theater gunman James Holmes rejecting his insanity defense and reaching their verdict in less than two days. They'll now decide whether Holmes gets life in prison or the death in the trial's sentencing phase that begins next week. Let's get more on the verdict from CNN's Ana Cabrera in Centennial, Colorado.</s>ANA CABRERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Christine, the jury of nine women and three men deliberated for about 12 hours before returning a guilty verdict, guilty on all 165 charges, including first degree murder, as well as attempted murder charges. They did not buy the defense's claim that James Holmes was insane at the time he opened fire inside that packed movie theater almost three years ago, killing 12 people and wounding 70 others. Now, the jury sat there about 11.5 weeks of testimony. They heard from 250 plus witnesses, including dozens of victims, college professors, as well as mental health experts. And they considered thousands of pieces of evidence before reaching this verdict. It was the moment victims' loved ones and survivors have been waiting for, for years.</s>TOM SULLIVAN, FATHER OF VICTIM ALEX SULLIVAN: As soon as you heard the first, you know, guilty, we knew, you know, the dominoes were all, you know, going to fall. That was just what we needed to hear.</s>SANDY PHILLIPS, MOTHER OF VICTIM: : We are happy this animal, this monster, will never see the light of day.</s>CABRERA: Now because Holmes was found guilty, this all moves in to the sentencing phase which we're told could take about another month. The prosecution has said it push for the death penalty -- Christine.</s>ROMANS: All right. Ana, thank you. Severe storms threatening millions this morning. Tornadoes -- look at this video, dramatic video of these tornadoes touching down. Dramatic video. We'll bring it all to you after the break.
