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

I wonder why U of I was so tight lipped about the reason for such a strong reaction to him.

@Dennie - That was posted because I asked about it out of curiosity. Apparently the professors had no special comment on that either. Maybe his use of the word "clairvoyance." Who knows lol.

@LG This was simple ribbing from Tired at me and me back, We have gamed since day one. Anica just happens to be the focus of attention today. She had a rough start this morning. So don't read much into it, other than to make her day a bit nicer now.

by NT8 7/9/2015 6:40:19 PM
Thank you, have a good lunch, Anica!!!

by Brandi 7/9/2015 7:06:47 PM
Brandi, I think they are saying they can't remember.

by Tammy Garrison 7/9/2015 7:06:50 PM
@NT8 I understand what happen I was here... I was trying to make her smile as well and believe I did so when she commented that she liked the crush thing too... have a great day both you and tried~

by LG 7/9/2015 7:07:04 PM
I missed the bit earlier where the judge clarifies that he makes "rulings, not arguments." Good stuff. =)

by Angela Freeman 7/9/2015 7:07:06 PM
Any speculation why the DT won't be calling Dr. Grey?

by Victoria 7/9/2015 7:07:09 PM
@Victoria - too "shady" perhaps? *wink*

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 7:07:35 PM
@Anica: I thought your article this past Tues. contained a good sample of Dr. Gur's testimony. Perhaps you could provide the link in a post here?

by CindyL 7/9/2015 7:07:55 PM
50 shades Anica? LOL!

Welcome back Anica, hope you had a good lunch since you had a rough morning!

by Brandi 7/9/2015 7:11:16 PM
@LG No worries bro! I took your comments in the same light. Betting all 3 of us are old enought to be her Dad!

by NT8 7/9/2015 7:11:17 PM
@ anica,, hope you had a nice lunch,, while you were gone I read that article ya posted link earlier,, very informative

by shuffie 7/9/2015 7:12:10 PM
Forgot how bad that video is.

by Tammy Garrison 7/9/2015 7:13:53 PM
when is court back from lunch?

by Niki C. 7/9/2015 7:13:55 PM
wow. Dr. Gur has the luxury of critiquing Dr. Reid's interview because it was fully recorded. No one can know what Dr. Gur said, or didn't say, or Holmes did/didn't say during her interviews....her garbled responses and "paraphrased" quotes have very low probative value. (IMO)

by flip 7/9/2015 7:18:16 PM
@Tired, I hope Anica enjoyed lunch on me at the Outback Steakhouse...........(snicker)

by NT8 7/9/2015 7:22:04 PM
What was the ruling on the investigator's video, I got really confused in all of that

by Just Thinkin 7/9/2015 7:22:07 PM
Flip- I was surprised that they made such a point of this given that Dr. Gur had not recorded on video, audio, nor even with very complete notes what was said. Seemed a risky move.

by 5W 7/9/2015 7:22:07 PM
Ahhh! I can't take it anymore! Who is always shuffling papers, messing with their keys, etc., when the jury is going in and out?! Grrrrr. Tell them Mom said to quit it.

by DocJ 7/9/2015 7:27:55 PM
@just thinkin - I did as well!

by Brandi 7/9/2015 7:27:57 PM
Anica are you in the courtroom? Have the Holmes (parents) been there every day?

by wp 7/9/2015 7:27:58 PM
@WP I'm in our studio - no electronic devices allowed in court.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 7:28:23 PM
I really like Judge Samour, He is a judge that actually has a personality & sense of humor!

by Brandi 7/9/2015 7:28:26 PM
Umm isn't King bringing the PT point that she did a lousy job of note taking if she keeps saying she doesn't recall to his questions..smh

by Dennie Carp 7/9/2015 7:28:30 PM
DocJ, its the Judge...

by Tammy Garrison 7/9/2015 7:30:35 PM
What I hear is that he had 'panic attacks' in school.

by Anita Bowen 7/9/2015 7:30:37 PM
@NT8... sorry I have to burst your bubble I'm not a dude (bro) !! ;)

by LG 7/9/2015 7:31:56 PM
@NT8--LOL!!!! Your good! I dont have a comeback...other than... ANICA----I love you! NT8 has commitment issues.

by Tired 7/9/2015 7:32:06 PM
wp- there was an article in the Post today about his parents. Sounds like they sit behind him every day. It also said that he seldom looks at them.

by Ann 7/9/2015 7:32:10 PM
@Dennie--Ha! It's not as if we need to be reminded that Dr. Gur is a poor note-taker. She apparently prefers to rely on what she thought Holmes shoulda/woulda/coulda said to her.

Nor could I be Anica's Dad ;) wrong body parts!! lol

Dr. Gur says the content of the notebook is more significant than whether the gunman wrote right to left, wrote on the lines, wrote in words and didn't scribble in the margins.

Dr. Gur: "His effort to describe it, to detail it... he provides the symbols that characterize his delusional thoughts... [including the] infinity symbol."

Dr. Gur on gunman's notebook: "To produce the content that has no relation to reality... and is rambling in nature... doesn't make it a normal verbal expression of thought processes. It describes a depth of an extensive delusion."

Dr. Gur: "He had to complete a mission. Once he said it, it had to be done, no matter what."

That's the million dollar question Mr. King. How did he carry out such a complex plan?

by MyraJ 7/9/2015 7:41:31 PM
Seemingly complicated? Okay. Way to downplay this massacre.

by Kels 7/9/2015 7:41:34 PM
King and Gur are putting on quite the performance IMHO.

by NT8 7/9/2015 7:41:35 PM
It's not at all mentally aberrant to think that other prisoners might want to hurt a guy like Holmes. Does Dr. Gur not understand that?

by flip 7/9/2015 7:41:43 PM
It could be argued that the notebook might be artistic instead of insanity.
