During closing arguments in the trial of Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, Boulder County prosecutor Ken Kupfner described deliberate, even cruel, choices the defendant made before and during the attack.
Kathryn Herold, a public defender for Alissa, countered that he was tormented by voices he heard in his head, which he believed would stop once he carried out the massacre.
Jurors began deliberating on Friday afternoon following two weeks of testimony. Alissa is charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder and dozens of other charges.
Ten people died within minutes - on the pavement in front, at the main entrance, inside. The victims, who ranged in age from 20 to 65, included three store employees.
