by EZ 7/9/2015 8:41:13 PM
Think we're on the tenth jury question?

by Kels 7/9/2015 8:41:15 PM
I appreciate Anica/Ch 7 always just calling him the shooter or gunman. He doesn't deserve the respect of being called Mr or by his name...I'm sure the family appreciates it too!

by AM 7/9/2015 8:41:18 PM
I lost count, ran out of fingers.

by kdsmith 7/9/2015 8:41:28 PM
Jury question: Would anyone who has delusions be considered insane?
Allowed.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:41:53 PM
Not sure what the issue is about Dr. Gur's not taking notes. Unless I'm misremembering, Reid also acknowledged that many/most psychiatrists did take notes but he preferred to use video instead.

by Clancy 7/9/2015 8:42:10 PM
WOWZEEZ!!! The jury was not totally asleep!! just Wow!!

by mama d 7/9/2015 8:42:19 PM
20 so far he's inquired about... not that many allowed

by LG 7/9/2015 8:42:20 PM
Anica if you got all them, your amazing.!!!!!!

by NT8 7/9/2015 8:42:27 PM
@NT8 not even close but trying!!!

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:42:38 PM
A better question is: Is Dr. Gur being manipulative with "Call for action", since it was a chapter title from one of her books. There is no evidence whatsoever that he ever said that, except for Dr. Gur's muddled memory that he did.

by flip 7/9/2015 8:42:42 PM
Really interesting questions from the jury.

by Clancy 7/9/2015 8:42:45 PM
I am wondering how we were all together able to control the thoughts of the jurors and get our questions answered? Ha ha ha (re the movie "Men Who Stare at Goats")

by DocJ 7/9/2015 8:42:47 PM
3rd Qtr stats, 38 objections, 8 overrules (DT) 30 Sustained (PT)
The DT is getting destroyed again today.

by NT8 7/9/2015 8:43:01 PM
Dr Gur isn't going to get out at 3:00pm for sure

by LG 7/9/2015 8:43:03 PM
Man the jury is really going after her about her notes. Considering that she is already testy about the incompleteness of her written report I am anxious to see how she reacts to the judge asking her repeatedly. Side note, I am surprised that King hasn't objected with cumulative to those questions.

by Stephany 7/9/2015 8:43:06 PM
GREAT jury questions!! imo - they get it. LOVE the one referring to documentation "...In case you can not testify..."

by very happy 7/9/2015 8:43:08 PM
There is not going to be much time for the attorneys to cross examine Gur on her answers to this many jury questions.

by flip 7/9/2015 8:43:10 PM
Looks like jury did not find her a credible witness

by Brandi 7/9/2015 8:43:13 PM
yikes that's 2 jurors now...

by Della (Me) 7/9/2015 8:43:15 PM
Kings just standing so won't have to keep popping up to object.

by Kristle 7/9/2015 8:43:17 PM
Is Dr. Gur licensed to practice in Colorado? If not then is her traveling to Colorado and interviewing JH a violation of her credential's considering that she did not treat JH?

by CindyL 7/9/2015 8:43:19 PM
That jury question worries me a little. At this point in the trial there's a juror who doesn't know that one can be mentally ill but sane at the same time?

by Della (Me) 7/9/2015 8:43:26 PM
WOW..GOOD jury questions. It's official. I'd make a lousy juror in this case.

by FMM 7/9/2015 8:43:28 PM
I don't know how quick this Dr. get though this many questions, especially since most questions are medical in nature and she would probably have very detailed answers. Her get out of court on time card may not work out in her favor. Unless she cuts answers short for her own purposes since that hasn't been her MO.

by Marsha Laurienti 7/9/2015 8:43:32 PM
Over 50+ at this point

by LG 7/9/2015 8:43:34 PM
@ Anica Try keeping track of the stats I try.... It is rough for sure!

by NT8 7/9/2015 8:44:56 PM
JH is finally aware that his battleship is lying on the ocean floor!!

by Kristle 7/9/2015 8:44:56 PM

Allowed.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:46:01 PM
Jury question: Can delusions change/evolve?
Allowed.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:46:50 PM
Jury question: Do you quantify delusions based on severity?
Allowed.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:47:13 PM
Jury Question: How would you know if a schizophrenic can determine right from wrong?
Allowed.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:47:47 PM
Jury question: What was most important in determining the gunman was schizophrenic?
Allowed.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:48:12 PM
Jury question: How did you determine he was insane at the time of the shooting under Colorado law?
King objects to part about Colorado law.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:49:42 PM
Jury question: Can mental illness be exacerbated by committing a crime like murder?
Allowed.
