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

@NT8 She didn't just say she wasn't a Forensic psychologist...she also said, "nor would I want to be." -
IF She is allowed to testify the Jury won't buy anything she says once they learn She is not board certified. -
darn... I had a phone call and missed it. I'm trying to catch up on the comments to see what happened.
-
You don't have to be Board Certified to practice but it does lend an air of credibility...IMHO -
-
She isn't board certified because she is an academic--a college professor instead of primarily a clinician.
-
ugh really wish i didnt have to leave work soon so i could see how this pans out. She just put a huge wrench in Kings plan and the DT's case.
-
Dr. Gur is admitted as an expert witness in clinical psychiatry. -
-
If the Judge excludes this witness, us taxpayers will have to foot the bill for a re-trial.
-
Gur needs to listen to the questions and not pre-answer them. There can be reasons to not be board certified, but because everyone places so much credence on it, it should have been explained why/why not in establishing her expertise...not just 'hey you have all these credentials, I move to admit her as an expert' GOD the defense is terrible
-
-
Don't think he won't go after her credentials either now or in closing statements. -
I have to turn my speakers down, weird echo when she speaks.
-
She is a little bit gratuitously boastful about her talent....

Just decided to take a look at the comments here and wish I hadn't. Lots of comments here by people more impressed with their own cleverness than by the fact that this is a murder trial.
-
She's just rambling. Not a good witness at all. I think she's trying to justify her lack of credentials. -
I wish I could've seen the faces of the jurors at that moment. It will be hard to turn the tide if most of them were as shocked as we were. -

-
Oh my goodness, she is a legend in her own mind. This kind of testimony is not really effective...King should limit her to simply listing her professional credentials, which are impressive. She is going way to far in trying to convince us that she is at the top of her profession.
-
I feel like I'm in an introductory college lecture. She reminds me of many of my professors
-
It is quite unfortunate that she has no board certifications, I like this witness. She is very personable. Granted I have a background in psychology and neuroscience so I see where she is coming from entirely about lack of publications concerning the brain and its effects on behavior. That realm has expanded exponentially within the last 10 years even.

I would probably enjoy a lecture of hers, but as a student, not a juror.
-
MANY MDs in academia are board certified regardless of multiple areas of expertise/, previous degrees. This makes no sense. If she plans to testify with clinical expertise, don't think this will be lost on the jury, regardless of instructions. I really do not think this was a best effort on the part of the DT.
-
Where did "refrigerator moms" come in? I'm confused as to that term.
-
my doctors don't get board certified because they say the yearly dues are too high and it does nothing to affect their ability to treat patients. -
-
-
Don't be too glib, this is a highly intelligent and capable woman...the lack of Board Cert is grist for the legal mill but she has skillz as the kids say
-
Please me help figure this out. She has outstanding academia degrees, so why is she not board certified.
-
Missed some of this, did Dr Gur share where she is originally from? Germany? Israel?
