Day 47 in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. Today, the defense plans to show video of Holmes in custody. 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

Judge Samour is discussing whether there should be a 3-hour delay between when the jurors reach a verdict and when it is announced.

by anica.padilla 7/10/2015 3:03:12 PM
The judge says they would need those 3 hours to allow everyone enough time to get back to court.

by anica.padilla 7/10/2015 3:03:43 PM
Judge Samour wants to tell the jurors in advance about the delay, in case they reach a verdict late in the day and weren't planning to stay late.

Morning All! -- USA!! USA!! USA!!

Good morning all..having another beautiful day by the lake in Canada...

by Dennie Carp 7/10/2015 3:06:36 PM
Did they say when there would be a verdict?

by Tara 7/10/2015 3:06:40 PM
@Anica. I love my new app. Thanks again!! hehe

by JG 7/10/2015 3:06:41 PM
I've never heard of a 3 hour delay has anyone else?

by LG 7/10/2015 3:06:46 PM
Anica, do you know what your coverage will be during deliberations? is anyone in the court to justify the feed being up

by JG 7/10/2015 3:06:49 PM
The defense is going to call an investigator and play video in segments during testimony.

by anica.padilla 7/10/2015 3:07:48 PM
Been thinking about this. Dr. Gur says Holmes didn't know right from wrong because he thought the people in the theater wanted to die. But he himself obviously didn't want to die, because he said so and had all the gear to protect himself. I don't buy it. I think he did it because he lost Gargi, and Hillary wasn't interested, and school wasn't working out. NOT because he was insane. I believe Holmes is mentally ill, but he is not insane.

by Laura Lou 7/10/2015 3:09:12 PM
I was surprised JH didn't stand yesterday when he was speaking to the Judge was anyone else?

by LG 7/10/2015 3:09:17 PM
@LG I believe it's because he is shackled and it could be prejudicial for jurors to see him like that.

by anica.padilla 7/10/2015 3:10:07 PM
It will effect them in that certain jurors may cave one way or another knowing that they will have to wait three hours.

by LawDog 7/10/2015 3:10:09 PM
Why would the defense object on a three hour advance?

by Sharall 7/10/2015 3:10:12 PM
@LG Yes it's common in high profile cases.

by Abrandt 7/10/2015 3:10:13 PM
@Tara only the jury will know when there will be a verdict...

by LG 7/10/2015 3:10:14 PM
Isn't it usually 1 hr advance???

by Dennie Carp 7/10/2015 3:10:16 PM
One juror has not arrived at court so the judge has called a recess.

by anica.padilla 7/10/2015 3:10:49 PM
No not at all, LG, Holmes has shown very little respect for the court or proceeding during the entire proceedings.

by Harold Finch 7/10/2015 3:12:40 PM
Well i guess the question should be when will they start to deliberate?

by Tara 7/10/2015 3:12:44 PM
Wonder how many days they would have shaved off this court if they had started back on time, every time.

by Tammy Garrison 7/10/2015 3:12:47 PM
Causual Fridays at News7....Nice Blazer Phil.

by Tired 7/10/2015 3:12:48 PM
I'm use to 1 hour delay before the verdict is read but not 3 hrs... @Anica thanks I thought JH was only shackled at the ankles but that makes sense...

by LG 7/10/2015 3:12:58 PM
@Dennie - I am insanely jealous of your viewing location. I haven't been able to enjoy a morning by a lake since I moved from Wisconsin to Virginia...

by jward12 7/10/2015 3:13:00 PM
Poor Phil didn't have time to put on a tie with that unexpected break!

by anica.padilla 7/10/2015 3:13:41 PM
@Tara yesterday they mentioned next Tuesday is when they are hoping to give it to the jury

by LG 7/10/2015 3:13:45 PM
He is only shackled at the ankles... just one actually, he's cabled to the floor.

by Mark 7/10/2015 3:16:39 PM
But he stands when the jury is coming in?
