Good Morning Phil (Happy Belated Birthday) Anica and everyone! -

Good Morning everyone. Hope all is well with you. Looking forward to a rigorous cross

Oh I hope we don't go live before we get to here King whisper, "No! She's not board certified in anything!"
-
@anica Padilla do you know if they ever aired that half hour footage yesterday of JH in his cell ? I recall Ms. Higgs was ready to present it to the jury but then the judge called for a morning break.
-
Do you think the jury heard King say "No! She's not board certified in anything!" And what do you think the jury thinks of his tone as he said this. I think his tone means more than her not being board certified.

Got to thinking last night. Is Reid and,forgive me, I can't remember the name of the other court appointed psychiatrist, the only forensic ones that exit? Why didn't the defense get a forensic psychiatrist unless there wouldn't be one that wouldn't declare him legally sane?
-
Good morning, Anica! Hope we have a good day. Cross will be interesting. -
-
So I missed a good day yesterday! So did Dr. Gur approved as an expert in anything?
-
Can someone confirm with me when closing statements will begin?
Also, has the court been shown any more videos since the one of JH in the holding room before trial (when he was fidgeting with his restraints) and the video of him alone in the interrogation room the night of 7/20? In other words, have any videos been presented in the last few days? -
Good morning all! Live coverage of day 44 should resume around 8:45 a.m. -
Dr. Raquel Gur returns to the stand to continue testifying for the defense.
-
Poll question: How many bad jokes/puns will King have today??? -
New Joke book for King $5.00 New Ricky Martin Suit for King $300.00 Hearing King Freakout cause His star witness isn't board certified PRICELESS

Dan King: "Are there all different types of delusions?"
Dr. Gur (interrupting): "Yes. Common are persecutory delusions... most commonly, in this country, it's the FBI the CIA or someone in authority is after them." - Quote
-
Dr. Gur says a somatic delusion involves believing a part of the body is diseased when there is no medical explanation.
-
Dr. Gur says religious delusion can include believing one has received a specific message from a higher power.
-
Hello everyone! It's been a while. I was gone taking care of bidness but I'm excited to be back for Gur!
-
Did King think AC wouldn't find out she isn't board certified?
-
-
These last 2 questions were "yes" or "no", but she goes ahead and give a lecture on the topic.
-
Why is he letting her ramble about different types of delusions that JH never talked about? Rope her into what she needs to be talking about!! All this is doing, imo, is giving Brauchler room to come in and say "Did he ever talk about the CIA following him?" "Did he ever talk about his knee being diseased?" .... seriously know.... come on! -
Dr. Gur testified the gunman's writings show he had delusions about the end of the world.
-
anica you stopped airing all the hateful comments on B. don't you think it is time to do the same on K?
-
So...if your religious and societal beliefs don't match hers, you are delusional
-
-
-
Even Though Dr. Gur isn't board certified at least she comes off as more competent than Woodcock
-
-
Dr. Gur compares the gunman's writing's to Ted Kaczynski's writings - says they expressed similar levels of delusion.
-
Dr. Gur is talking so much I can't grasp anything she is saying, I wonder if the Jury is having the same issue.
-
Is she referring to JHs notebook...Meaning of Life and meaning of death? And that being the basis for his delusion? I wonder.....
-
Oh goodness....it's going to be a loooooooonnnnggg morning....

Dr. Gur reviewed video of the gunman in jail right after the arrest - "He was sitting in the cell... he had on his hands brown bags and he was [speaking]... this is not normal." Most people sit quietly, Gur said. - Quote

Dr. Gur says the jail video shows signs of delusional behavior and disorganized thinking.
