Prosecution to finish cross-examination of schizophrenia expert Dr. Raquel Gur on day 46 of the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. 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

Defense wants to play the first 15 minutes of a 2-hour video.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:18:21 PM
Defense does not plan to call Dr. Gray to testify.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:18:40 PM
Dr. Gur is embarrassing her profession. It's not just that she was hired by the defense to perform for the defense--everyone gets that. But, her pattern of repeated confabulation and refusal to consider that some of her opinions might be incorrect or biased is unprofessional and absurd.

by flip 7/9/2015 6:18:55 PM
@Brandi, go figure. Thank you for "catching" me up. Hahaha! I appreciate it. It's amazing how well she answers questions for King.

by Kels 7/9/2015 6:18:58 PM
@LG we see no ring.......... Safe to say we look?

by NT8 7/9/2015 6:19:10 PM
Wow! I wonder what he did or said at Iowa that illicited that comment?

by DocJ 7/9/2015 6:19:11 PM
James Holmes will never get the DP if the jurys verdict is DP the defence has a lot of grounds for appeal first off the judge is openly bias .

by James Holmes will never get... 7/9/2015 6:19:13 PM
Doesn't Brauchler have re-cross after this?

by Tammy Garrison 7/9/2015 6:19:15 PM
I am wondering if the judge would let her go back home for her engagement and have her back on Monday.

by vt 7/9/2015 6:19:18 PM
Why is the stream is at a different time on my iPhone and iPad? Using channel 7 app on both.

by jbs 7/9/2015 6:19:20 PM
Not sure, @JBS...

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:19:32 PM
Oh good no 5 hrs of video...

by Dennie Carp 7/9/2015 6:20:41 PM
@DocJ That would be a hard thing to do. I have a co-worker whose only child is bi-polar (she had divorced her ex for the same) and is in/out of hospitals all the time. She mourns the loss of knowing she will never grow old with the future she thought she would have

by Just Thinkin 7/9/2015 6:20:49 PM
@Anica - Do we know what JH said that inspired such a strong response from the U. of Iowa faculty member? Those are awfully strong words.

by Angela Freeman 7/9/2015 6:20:54 PM
Can you remind me who Dr. Gray is?

by Tammy Garrison 7/9/2015 6:20:56 PM
@Angela I will try to find out more.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:21:15 PM
What I wanted to see studied that was never addressed is that blood trail that leads IN to the theatre and doesn’t go to the car. Also no mention of the second gasmask. No mention of the guy with a gotea that opened the door for JH

by bedhed 7/9/2015 6:22:34 PM
I don't agree that the Judge is openly biased, He seems fair to me I have seen him make rulings in favor of both sides

by Brandi 7/9/2015 6:22:37 PM
Judge Samour: "There's no reason we can't be done with Dr. Gur by 3 o'clock."

Quick question, did you just get back from the gym or is that someone else's shirt because you looking swolled up.

by Brosef 7/9/2015 6:27:19 PM
@Brosef BWHAHAHA! He says he got it at Baby Gap.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:27:38 PM
JH should not take the stand...DB would tear him up! He would simply loose his temper or clam up and really make him look more guilty than he already does. IMO

by kdsmith 7/9/2015 6:27:50 PM
Why do you suppose, DB didn't ask the questions the judge suggested this morning. i.e. how damaged, is JH, in your opinion?

by kdsmith 7/9/2015 6:27:57 PM
Is Dr. Gray up now?! I'm 40ish minutes behind. I should stop reading so there aren't any spoilers.

by Kels 7/9/2015 6:28:02 PM
@Kels - They are not going to call Dr. Gray. Judge Samour wants them to finish with Dr. Gur by 3pm.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:28:33 PM
how in the world can any of these professionals ever really know what he did? How do they know if he ever dated or met up with anyone on the websites? HE LIED and CONCEALED a secret life and weapons for a period of time. Her answers seem outlandish. We will never know what he did and didn't do in secret. Such a difficult case....is he mentally ill or a great con?
Such a gray area in mental health; so subjective. The act is so horrific I want him to be insane...but many of the facts are stark to that. This jury has some hard days ahead with deliberations.

by A.L. 7/9/2015 6:28:41 PM
I agree this Judge is far from biased...

by Dennie Carp 7/9/2015 6:28:43 PM
I was having withdrawls. Whew. Comments are back.

by Kristle 7/9/2015 6:28:45 PM
@NT8--LOL. I was a fighter pilot. You can be first after me. LOL!

by Tired 7/9/2015 6:28:50 PM
It is not the courts problem that Dr Gur has a family commitment, if she was to testify in another
trial that's different..

Professor On Holmes: 'Do NOT Offer Admission'
7NEWSA University of Iowa professor told an admission committee not to admit James Holmes under any circumstances.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:30:48 PM
@Tired I was a Bosunmate, after I rescue you out of the drink you can be first in line after me!

by NT8 7/9/2015 6:31:07 PM
@A.L. -- Awesome statement. Words I couldn't put together, thank you!

by Kels 7/9/2015 6:31:27 PM
@Anica - Oh dear goodness.

by Kels 7/9/2015 6:31:28 PM
Question after yesterday's blog explosion: How often, if ever, has an expert witness been charged with perjury? How often, if ever, has an expert witness been dismissed for (for lack of a better term) misrepresenting or not completing the actual work they were hired to do?

by DocJ edited by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:31:42 PM
Question for the legal team today: Does the defense already have grounds for an appeal if the defendant is convicted?

by Lynn edited by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:31:45 PM
Legal question. During closing arguments, are either side allowed to "object" to certain things said?

by Nadine edited by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:31:48 PM
Question for legal... Would it be in JH best or not best interest to take the stand as the Judge commented to earlier today?

by LG edited by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:31:53 PM
Oh my god! I am from a town an hour south of U of I! WHOA! I don't live there anymore, I'm in Boulder now, but wow. I couldn't imagine what would've happened.

by Kels 7/9/2015 6:36:42 PM
Nice find Anica, I had not seen that article about Iowa U.

by NT8 7/9/2015 6:36:44 PM
JH wasn't aware why the school didn't accept his admission though...js

by Dennie Carp 7/9/2015 6:36:54 PM
@Anica - can you preserve those legal questions for after testimony ends for the day?

by DocJ 7/9/2015 6:36:55 PM
I will save the legal questions for the end of the day!

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 6:37:21 PM
@NT8 ... just causes there's no ring doesn't make it not true.... lol (just like no notes taken)
