@Jerry - they are from different jurors, I believe.

Although I believe Dr. Gur is very intelligent and her credentials are very impressive I believe the fault of the Defense is that they viewed her accolades and not her practice. I can study law but just because I do it does not mean I understand its practicality. Dr. Gur is intelligent on a collegiate level not a practicing level. If you don't use what you have learned than what you have learned is impractical...if you have no clientele and all you do is teach and research what "practicality" is there in the basis of this trial. I do not believe for one moment that Mr. Holmes, albeit mentally fractured, that he did not know that what he was doing was wrong. As many would agree, he planned out what he was going to do, dawned a suit of armor (knowing that his actions would be viewed by law enforcement as wrong and he could be shot), and booby-trapped his apartment in the hopes of causing as much carnage as possible as well as tie up the police department indicates a mental capacity to tell right from wrong. Although labeled a "star witness" I'd say the Defense "jumped the shark".

She's not going to make her flight...

by Tammy Garrison 7/9/2015 8:51:00 PM
appears we have an educated and alert jury.....tough job for sure

by A.L. 7/9/2015 8:51:01 PM
@Kristie, more than one my dear...... The entire fleet is being destroyed, Now the Jury is joing in on manning the guns.

by NT8 7/9/2015 8:51:05 PM
That plane will take off without Doctor Gur.

by Dang he's hitting her hard! 7/9/2015 8:51:06 PM
Some of these questions require a dissertation to answer completely.

by 5W 7/9/2015 8:51:08 PM
I don't think she's going to make her flight. With her bloviation, this could go on for days.

by Nadine 7/9/2015 8:51:11 PM
So much for three o'clock. Sorry to put a damper on your "family" time, but because of the man you deemed "insane", Dr. Gurr, they won't have a member of their own family.

by Kels 7/9/2015 8:51:13 PM
The jury is asking very thoughtful questions.

by BernerMom 7/9/2015 8:51:15 PM
Hey Dr. Gur your not making it home tonight. Just thank Kinger the wanna be ringer.

by NT8 7/9/2015 8:51:17 PM
The jury has submitted a days worth of questions. How will Quack Gur keep her cool during her responses?

by kdsmith 7/9/2015 8:51:20 PM
Jury question: Knowing this is such a large case, why did you choose not to record your evaluations?
Allowed.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:51:48 PM
Jury question: The diagnosis is in the same spectrum but the opinion on sanity varies. Explain why you disagree with Dr. Reid and Dr. Metzner.
Allowed.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:53:36 PM
So there goes her 3:00 deadline to get out a town! Go Jury!

by TLR 7/9/2015 8:53:54 PM
The Dr. did most definitely say "clinical insanity" on several occasions. We all commented on it.

by DocJ 7/9/2015 8:53:57 PM
The lawyers are public figures and you are welcome to express your opinions on them.
Just don't put down other chatters or their opinions. And, obviously, keep it clean.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:54:07 PM
Jury question: Tuesday you testified that you wrote two books about the importance of interviewing family members. Why did you testify today that interviewing his family was irrelevant?

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:55:16 PM
Very impressive jurors!

by Dang he's hitting her hard! 7/9/2015 8:55:39 PM
What is the Judge talking about.... how could Dr Gur confuse anyone?

by LG 7/9/2015 8:55:42 PM
Jury question: Can you give an example of the gunman's disorganized thoughts?
Allowed.

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:56:09 PM
Jury question: Wouldn't it be beneficial to write down direct quotes from the gunman?

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 8:59:46 PM
Some who think JH should walk.....UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Victims, kids, KILLED!!!! ROT JH!!

by Ibby 7/9/2015 9:00:10 PM
Go to Youtube and call up the great blues tune by Freddy King: "I'm going down...down, down, down, down, down. I'm going down..down, down, down, down, down. Got my big feet in the window and my head is on the ground...."

by flip 7/9/2015 9:00:15 PM
There are later flights today- perhaps someone should be trying to change her flight?

by 5W 7/9/2015 9:00:16 PM
@ DocJ - In the words of JH. Yup!

by kdsmith 7/9/2015 9:00:18 PM
these are smart and thoughtful jurors

by mld 7/9/2015 9:00:19 PM
Having opinions about people, i.e. Gur, Brauchler, King, are one thing but being disrespectful is a completely different thing...The comments I just read through are so disappointing. I really thought I could learn something from all in here. I was wrong.

by Niki C. 7/9/2015 9:00:32 PM
LOL @NT.....JH was focused on one. The Titanic!!

by Kristle 7/9/2015 9:00:35 PM
LG--LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

by flip 7/9/2015 9:00:39 PM
@LG- LOL

by Brandi 7/9/2015 9:00:40 PM
Isn't the plane at 5:30 or 6? She can make it if she's outta there by 4. I would think someone is dropping her off.

by Ann 7/9/2015 9:00:43 PM
Lots of questions!

by happy 7/9/2015 9:00:45 PM
Even the Jury is hammering Gur.

by NT8 7/9/2015 9:00:46 PM
Ha Ha, LG!

by DocJ 7/9/2015 9:00:48 PM
I'm sure he doesn't since we are going on 70+ questions...lol

by LG 7/9/2015 9:00:52 PM
VERY good questions. Some are things I've also wondered since the shooting.

by Ruby 7/9/2015 9:00:53 PM
The note taking grilling by Brauchler has apparently worked thru the jury's minds.

by CindyL 7/9/2015 9:00:54 PM
Good GGrief! It's taken almost 30 minutes to just get through a brief reading of the questions. Yeah. We will be with her until Monday.

by DocJ 7/9/2015 9:00:58 PM
Thank you for providing each jury question, Anica!!

by Kristle 7/9/2015 9:01:03 PM
@Anica I have a count of 71 questions in total and 4 weren't allowed... you?

by LG 7/9/2015 9:01:04 PM
@LG and @Kristie I didn't come close to getting them all and lost count after about 5!

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 9:01:29 PM
I smell........MISTRIAL! (maybe)......I'm in such shock I grabbed my dogs chew toy in an attempt to passive this anxiety!!

by Ibby 7/9/2015 9:09:27 PM
Oh ha ha ha!! King is hearing voices he said jokingly.
