Is it just on my end......that the feed is choppy?

According to the DSM V mourning is a mental sickness, so I guess if you look at it the right way thinking about killing is a sickness.

@MIKE! Wow wish we could respond under your comment! How wild!

JH and doc swiveling in their chairs at the same time....hummm

@ Mayday remember she's got that family obligation for today her time is extremely limited if she's going to make it there in time

King takes cues for objections from Nelson, IMO.

by Kristle 7/9/2015 3:34:16 PM
@kristle no chance he will get the death sentence. It's Colorado and he's mentally ill whether at the exact time of the shooting or not, the man is mentally ill. Colorado would never allow the death sentence for him.

by brett 7/9/2015 3:34:21 PM
Brauchler, may I have your autograph?

by Kels 7/9/2015 3:34:51 PM
I believe she is a great DR, but this testimony is awful

by emma 7/9/2015 3:34:53 PM
@Mike - Were you in any classes with him?

by Brandi 7/9/2015 3:34:55 PM
What kind of evaluation did Dr. Gur proceded to?

by Humble Pride 7/9/2015 3:34:59 PM
BIG swivel's from JH right now

by Oh look, the male court... 7/9/2015 3:35:07 PM
Cindy, I don't see her as gullible. I see her as paid.

by Tammy Garrison 7/9/2015 3:35:08 PM
Also, this is already longer than twenty minutes...but I love it so who cares!

by Kels 7/9/2015 3:35:13 PM
@Kels - HA!

by anica.padilla 7/9/2015 3:35:40 PM
anyone else notice that dr. gur has started rocking in her chair like JH

by wendy 7/9/2015 3:35:43 PM
@chairswivel...creeeeepyyyy...

by Kels 7/9/2015 3:35:45 PM
@Kristle surreal is not the word. I mean I've had conversations with him in school. He was such a nice guy. He looks so different now. Like night and day.

by Mike 7/9/2015 3:35:51 PM
What kind of clinical experience does Dr Gur have?

by Humble Pride 7/9/2015 3:35:54 PM
@brett, I have a feeling he'll be convicted, there will obviously be an appeal, but based on what CO governor's have said, he'll never be executed.

by Kels 7/9/2015 3:35:59 PM
We shall see Brett. We shall see.

by FMM 7/9/2015 3:36:04 PM
Not sure how much her opinion or report is worth due to it being incomplete and insufficient

by Mandi 7/9/2015 3:36:14 PM
It may be slow going, but love how methodical AC is being in his dismantling of this witness and her conclusions.

by sher 7/9/2015 3:36:30 PM
Sounds like Gur is retreating to "irresistible impulse" which (I think) is no longer recognized in CO.

by Rob 7/9/2015 3:36:34 PM
Mara, mine is clear and un-interupted.

by Tammy Garrison 7/9/2015 3:37:30 PM
It really looks like the DT's objections are coaching the witness.

by Humble Pride 7/9/2015 3:37:35 PM
The judge did say 20 minutes is 30-45 minutes lawyer time. LOL!

by Suzanne 7/9/2015 3:37:43 PM
Yes, I think today is the day that JH will do a complete 360.

by MyraJ 7/9/2015 3:37:55 PM
re, the Dr. chair-swiveling: I see it as "mirroring", a technique used by many therapists to build rapport with the patient and increase their trust in them. She is subconciously saying, "trust me, I know what I am doing" to JH.

by DocJ 7/9/2015 3:40:35 PM
Dr. Gur reminds me of a ghost hunter. Sometimes they look at things that are not there because that's their mind set. Dr. Gur has her mind set with tunnel vision.

by Anita Bowen 7/9/2015 3:40:38 PM
I read somewhere AC was a JAG attorney..my husband worked with JAG in his past-- they are awesome unrelenting intelligent in their quest.

by Jewel 7/9/2015 3:40:44 PM
@Humble Pie not a whole lot. I went over her CV and it looks like she devotes a huge proportion of her time to research rather thank clinical work.

by MyraJ 7/9/2015 3:40:49 PM
@ brett & kels keep in mind that its all based on the current gov of when his execution date is set for. Our pathetic excuse for a gov now has shown he is gutless with the stay he granted for Dunlap, but who knows 20yrs down the road if there will be a real gov in office who won't be swayed. I do think that this state would execute him but honestly IMO the jury has sees that he is indeed mentally ill, & won't give the DP I see him getting LWOP.

by JG 7/9/2015 3:41:25 PM
Yes I was in 11th grade science class with him.

by Mike 7/9/2015 3:42:00 PM
I like that Brauchler is alluding to the idea that JH has been being manipulative!!!!

by Brandi 7/9/2015 3:42:04 PM
I opine that Orman looks better in a dark suit. Fair to say?

by Kristle 7/9/2015 3:42:06 PM
shes spends most of her time writing papers to get herself published.

by mom 7/9/2015 3:42:11 PM
@ humble I saw that also. She changes after an objection.

by Suzanne 7/9/2015 3:43:09 PM
@ Anita - Totally agree

by SMH 7/9/2015 3:43:14 PM
I wondered about that too, Humble.

by Tammy Garrison 7/9/2015 3:43:15 PM
Who thinks King is up there saying, "He said 20 minutes, Judge. Now I will have to have her up there for the rest of the day to fix this and it's not fair"?

by DocJ 7/9/2015 3:43:19 PM
She could read JH mind when he was committing the crime but not after he was arrested?

by Humble Pride 7/9/2015 3:43:21 PM
whats JAG?

by emma 7/9/2015 3:45:27 PM
Careful Kristie, King might object as calls for speculation

by JG 7/9/2015 3:45:29 PM
@Mike: OMG, I can't imagine what you must be thinking about "that guy"!!
