A story that is still making national headlines will bring with it maybe the biggest decision of his career as well: whether to seek the death penalty against James Eagan Holmes, the man charged with the brutal midnight attack carried out during the premiere of the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises."
That's because it's a question not likely to be left to current District Attorney Carol Chambers, who is term-limited and will leave office in January
after eight years as the top prosecutor in Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.
Instead, that decision will ultimately come from one of two men who are vying in November to replace Chambers: Democrat Ethan Feldman or Republican George Brauchler.
