It saves the American taxpayer the expense of a trial and assures a guilty verdict. That is a winning outcome.

Well, we, taxpayers would still pay for his room and board for the rest of his life.

On Wednesday, his lawyers said he would be willing to plead guilty in order to avoid the death penalty.

Yup. I have no interest in giving him an opportunity to live out his life on my dollar. He is 23 years old so we'll be footing his bill for decades. I say go to trial and off with his head.
 
If he gets prison for life or death, it'll probably cost more to give him the death penalty than to incarcerate him for life. Not sure of how much it is in Colorado.

In CA it's $ hundreds of million per execution. Most of the $ is due to trials and appeals for the execution.
To imprison someone for 50 years in California costs ~$2-3 million.

Update:

Holmes case begins

More than 1,000 days after James Holmes opened fire in a Colorado movie theater, killing 12 and wounding 70, the onetime University of Colorado neuroscience student’s murder trial was set to get under way Monday.

Holmes, 27, who could face the death penalty if convicted, does not dispute carrying out the shootings at the midnight screening of the Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises,” but has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. His taxpayer-funded attorneys are expected to lay the groundwork for the insanity defense in opening arguments today in Arapahoe County court, while prosecutors will seek to paint Holmes as a killer who knew what he was doing.

Neither District Attorney George Brauchler nor lead defense attorney Daniel King and attorney Katherine Spengler will have an easy task.

"There's no such thing as someone snapping," said J. Reid Meloy, a forensic psychiatrist at the University of California, San Diego, who is not involved in the Holmes case. "What we know now is that even if a person is psychotic, they can still plan and methodically go about the preparations to carry out a mass murder."
