The judge in a deadly theatre shooting trial says the jury can hear emotional details from a woman who was paralysed and suffered a miscarriage in the 2012 attack, and whose young daughter was killed.
James Holmes, a former neuroscience graduate student, is charged with bursting into a movie theatre in Colorado and killing 12 people and injuring 70.
He has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
In a ruling announced on Thursday, the judge in the trial also said prosecutors can briefly show jurors a photo of the six-year-old girl.
Her mother is expected to testify on Friday.
