DENVER, May 19 (Reuters) - The owners of a movie theater where 12 people were killed during a screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" are not liable for the mass shooting, a jury ruled on Thursday, in the first civil lawsuit stemming from the 2012 incident, a court spokesman said.
Jurors ruled in favor of Cinemark USA Inc in the lawsuit filed by more than two dozen surviving victims and relatives of the dead, court spokesman Rob McCallum said on Twitter.
Gunman James Holmes, who pleaded innocent by reason of insanity at his murder trial, was found guilty last summer of killing 12 people and wounding 70 when he opened fire during a midnight premiere screening of the film. He was sentenced to life in prison.
