By Keith Coffman and Daniel Wallis CENTENNIAL, Colo. (Reuters) – Lobbing questions on topics ranging from loading ammo clips to booby-trapping apartments and the chemistry of gunshot residue, jurors have waded into the thick of the Colorado movie massacre trial as they weigh the fate of gunman James Holmes. Admonished by Arapahoe County District Court Judge Carlos Samour several times a day not to discuss the case with each other or anyone else, inside Courtroom 201 they have taken to their role with energy. The jurors will first decide if Holmes is guilty of killing 12 people and wounding 70 more, and then whether he is to be executed. Colorado is one of only three U.S. states, along with Arizona and Indiana, where jurors have a mandated right to question witnesses in both criminal and civil trials.

By Barbara Lewis BRUSSELS (Reuters) – EU regulators will not accelerate a decision on whether to restrict use of the world’s most widely used weed killer, even though it has been linked to cancer by the World Health Organization (WHO), officials said on Tuesday. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the WHO, said in March that glyphosate was “probably carcinogenic to humans”. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, made by Monsanto, the world’s biggest seed company. In response to the IARC findings, the U.S. Environment Protection Agency said it may start testing food products for residues.
