seems like now she doesn't want to answer questions. has anyone else noticed the significant reduction in babbling? -
Well she's the only one who interviewed the parents. -
King is laying out foundation of her report so AC doesnt tear her apart on cross....strategic, but I dont think it will work.
-
Dr. Gur's first report on the gunman was written in June 2013. She later received more materials and interviewed the gunman again later. -
Dr. Gur said her opinion on the gunman did not change after repeated visits.
-
Dr. Gur reviewed the gunman's notebook and CAT scan, accounts/videos of other doctors, jail records, etc. before writing her second report.
-
Dr. Gur said she spent a total of about 28 hours with the gunman.
-
Dr. Gur saw the gunman on Dec. 19, 2012, about a month after the was hospitalized at Denver Health. She also saw him Feb. 9, 2013; May 2, 2013; Nov. 18, 2013; Nov. 20, 2014 and August 5, 2014.

I have lost count of how many times AC rests his head on his hand. He is letting everyone know how bored he is.
-
He's trying to damage control BEFORE GB get's up there, trying to second guess the questions he will ask.
-
omg...here shortly, King is going to bust in to a truffle shuffle -
King is trying to CYA right now before Brauchler gets to her....
-
Now that she has stopped rambling, she is a better witness.
-
I am impressed at how well prepared she is and the number of documents, videos and people that she reviewed and talked to.
-
I still think this is gonna come down to Reid vs Gur, Reid is certified, Gur is not, case closed
-
AC is cracking his neck like he's about to step in the boxing ring! Ding Ding!

I find it amusing, that she Dr. Gur, can go on and on and on and on ad nausem about random crap that has nothing to do with JH, however, cannot remember how many reports she has written!? People who go into this field and also research and study this type of psychiatry/psychology/neurology, have a personal attachment to the information, i.e., someone they know had this disorder, a family member, parent, something, for her to have this type of attachment to this particular area of psychology/psychiatry. I also find that her accent tends to be somewhat "put on". We also should be aware that people study things that they themselves don't necessarily understand about themselves, this is why they become so passionate about certain areas of study, and gain as much information as possible in a certain area of study, just like JH went into neuropsych because he wanted to figure out how to "fix his brain". Lots of underlying information that is under the surface. Also her lack of impulse control, talking over King, and having to be asked multiple times to stop doing that, and yet she continues. Magical thinking, thinking she knows exactly what someone is going to say before they say it. This is interesting to study her!

Am I being blocked? The last 4 comments have never showed up?

Oh I wouldn't base anything on what Dr. Woodcock had to say.
-
-
OK, here's my question. Why is it that all this testimony is focused on post - July 2012. I would think that six months after the fact is given so much weight with the defense? Because they don't have anything else to offer? -

Dr. Gur: The gunman still believes the theory of human capital, "to this day." - Quote

my mouse I having clickie issues, doesn't want to work on the "reply" button,, oh doctor lol
-
I'm not sure about everyone else's opinion, but I foresee AC's cross will be some of the most exciting action this trial has seen. I think it's going to be explosive. This is the final round, baby. "All your heart...all your strength...DO IT....NOW"

Dr. Gur on the gunman: "No matter what he spoke about [his face] did not change. Like he was frozen." - Quote

Dr. Gur: "His voice was, every word was slow and monotonous, in the first interview." - Quote
-
I think the defense is trying to work backwards in time, while the prosecution went forward in time.
-
i'm surprosed the pt hasn't objected more during the direct exam.... they must be confident in their position

-
AC needs to use the hand-held mic during his cross so he can drop it after he's done with her.

-
The judge didn't ask if either the PT or DT if they had something to talk about. I guess he was so sleepy.
