Aurora movie theater shooting day 43: Defense expected to call more doctors who treated James Holmes
Day 43 in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. Today, the defense is expected to call more doctors who treated the gunman after the shooting. During the course of the trial, prosecutors will argue that Holmes, the admitted gunman, was sane when he went into the midnight premiere of the Dark Knight Rises in an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater and opened fire on the audience, killing 12 and wounding 70. His defense attorneys will try to spare Holmes’ life by arguing that he was insane. 7NEWS and TheDenverChannel.com will have gavel to gavel coverage of the trial starting at 8:15 a.m. (MST) everyday and ending around 5:30 p.m. (MST) Watch new live video on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/7NewsDenver/live Additional resources:LIVE VIDEO & BLOG: http://bit.ly/theatertrialTIMELINE of the case: http://bit.ly/theatertimelineJURY PROFILE: http://bit.ly/theaterjury CONTINUING COVERAGE: http://bit.ly/theatercoverage

How does a MRI in 2015 prove anything that happened 2012????? -
Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great Fourth of July weekend/celebration! -
-
King says the MRI shows the gunman's brain has shrunk since being incarcerated - a sign of schizophrenia. -
-
Wonder if other inmates' brains shrink or only those with schizophrenia...
-
Brain has shrunk since being incarcerated, Like that really mattered in 2012.
-
Who cares if his brain shrunk in jail. Its about whne he committed the act...right?
-
-
Since his incarceration... What did it look like at the time of the shooting?
-
-
Overall this matter seems to shed negative light on the defense in my opinion. It would appear they have withheld this information intentionally and if they would/could have provided this prior to wanting to call this witness then it would save quite a bit of time and definitely would not have seen so shady. I understand they have a job to do and time constraints make things difficult, but since these are all mostly general information concerning schizophrenia it seems it could have been provided to the court/prosecution much earlier.

They have an image showing volume loss in an image that is not of the defendant, but they want to use to show volume loss in JH? Do they have an image showing volume loss in defendant?
-
@anica - lunch legal question - how is the discovery process supposed to work? Is this underhanded or normal?
-
Right, cv was a good plan as an overarching examination of why there is an insanity case. Prosecution didn't do homework on case, spent their time going for sentiments and emotions of tragedy than brushing up on the state of mental illness. The defense could evolve an understanding; the prosecution stifles and in many cases sets back human evolution through wanting to kill---once again.

Mr King... Nothing is funny in this case...so disrespectful to victiim and d families
-
If i was locked in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day, I would be willing to bet my brain would shrink and I would go at least a little bit nutz. Doesn't say anything about who I was or what I was capable of before I went to jail...
-
But how do they know a. there is a 30% decrease SINCE being in prison and b. if there is a decrease it is because of disease and not from being in isolation in prison?
-
-
Wondering now if dr. Reid be called to counteract some of dr gurr' testimony?
-
If I was AC--I wouldnt fight this at all. I would just tear this new witness up!
-
King hasn't turned his mic off either when he's whispering to Ms. Nelson.
-
-
-
A brain can shrink due to lack of normal stimulation that being incarcerated and in solitary confinement can attribute to. You don't have to be schizophrenic for that to occur.

The juries are thinking what the heck is going on, I could have slept in today on such a nice rainy day and not sitting here in this stuff chair waiting... ;)
-
I have agreed with all of the judge's rulings until now. Accepting these slides based on King saying "I'm sure it's in the CV because the other stuff has been," is wrong. King needs to be responsible for knowing every bit of info he is introducing and its origin. Brauchler would know; he would be able to quote page number and item number from the CV. -
With Dr Gurr sitting in the courtroom while they discuss what she might testify is totally wrong...especially with King telling her what to say while making his argument to the Judge..
-
-
Who's keeping track of the jury? Did they ever come back from break- would they have been allowed to go for lunch?
-
-
The Judge should dismiss the waiting jury to lunch, this is taking too long.
-
Does/has JH's sister have schizophrenia??? (if it's hereditary)
-
The gunman was stuck the birth canal and ended up with a flattened head and had to be delivered via C-section... per Dan King.
