JUROR #737, MALE -- Small business owner with connections to Colorado’s other infamous mass shooting: Columbine. He has said he was friends with the Columbine gunmen until eighth grade, and even took a fellow Columbine student to prom a week before she was murdered.

JUROR #329, FEMALE -- Previously worked as a victim advocate for the Aurora Police Department and says she was once the victim of a burglary. During jury selection, she said she would look at the nature of each crime individually, but maintained that James Holmes should be held accountable.

JUROR #87,FEMALE -- During jury selection, said that if a person is presumed innocent, it should be up to the prosecution to prove otherwise. She majored in biology in college. She has said she has a son who has a drug problem.

JUROR #378, FEMALE -- A former paramedic who has said she often transported mentally ill people. During trial, a bailiff once accused her of sleeping in court, but she said she was just resting her eyes. She was allowed to stay and, from then on, paid very close attention.

JUROR #527, MALE -- Works as a manager at Bed Bath & Beyond. During jury selection, he revealed that he knew one of the witnesses and is Facebook friends with a manager of the store where Holmes bought his shotgun. He maintained that he could be a fair and impartial juror.
