What time on Tuesday?

Video was blurred - smearing feces 4mos after capture - ask any nursing home - they experience this with residents who are angry; because, they are stuck in the nursing home environment instead of their home. Dr. Gur - Pa Hospital should be embarassed with her research technique - never heard of a researcher who doesn't audio/video record interviews to insure the data is factual & not heresay. The basis of her research is on her memory months/years later - her published research is questionable. Everyone knows the minute you exit the environment, your mind eliminates 15% of what you heard - hours later, you lose the ability to remember more of the data - days later, all data is questionable.

@ Mama d- These videos weren't the feces video, it was when the gunman was naked at the Denver Hospital and in his cell. Glad it was blurred since it was too much.

@Tired, Did you take Phil out drinking last night?

I know of several women that regularly attempt to write letters to James Holmes and send him their pictures. They don't want him to get the death sentence, and want to be able to personally communicate with him. They're obsessed with him, and i'v seen most of them don't care about his victims. A lot of them are also obsessed with various other rampage shooters and/or serial killers. This is why want JH to get the death sentence - because he is a 'celebrity' among these women. Ted Bundy had fans too - they used to go sit in the court gallery and dye their hair brown, and part it in the middle to resemble his victims.

I would have liked to have heard Dr. Resnick testify in the rebuttal by the PT. I think the PT is going to put it all into the Closing Arguments.

by CindyL 7/10/2015 5:12:26 PM
after all is said and done...this young man will never know how many lives he has affected in such a negative way. I Hate what he has done.... still after all these months every time I go to a theater I check out the doors and have a moment of thinking I hope everyone behaves today....UGH...makes me nervous when people get up and move around in the theater....can't imagine what these poor victims are going through in their daily lives.

by A.L. 7/10/2015 5:12:28 PM
I believe the death penalty is warranted, but I think it is going to come down to guilty with life in prison.

by Tammy Garrison 7/10/2015 5:12:32 PM
GB gives me chills with his opening statements.... think it was very well done, but chilling...

by colo 7/10/2015 5:12:37 PM
NEVER MIND!!!-- Comment feed stuck for 30 mins... :-i

by mama d 7/10/2015 5:12:42 PM
Question...Can the state charge Jh with assault? to those who did not get hurt but are now undoubtedly suffering emotional and mental problems due to living through this nightmare

by Trial watcher 7/10/2015 5:12:47 PM
I really wanted to hear what Dr. Resnick had to say. Surprised that they aren't calling him.

by SMH 7/10/2015 5:12:54 PM
No rebuttal--good decision, there is no need. Jury will recognize that Dr. Gur's testimony was so scattered and obviously defense-biased that a rebuttla would only lend some semblance of credence to Dr. Gur that is wholly undeserved.

by flip 7/10/2015 5:12:58 PM
I agree that the prosecution doesn't "need" to call a rebuttal, but dang it...it would've been exciting!

by jward12 7/10/2015 5:13:04 PM
My volumne is extremely low today... Anyone else?

by Jewel 7/10/2015 5:13:06 PM
Maybe the decision not to call rebuttal witness was based on the jury's many ?'s of Gur and seeming not to believe her as credible

by Mandi 7/10/2015 5:13:12 PM
Thank you to channel 7 for airing this trial!

by happy 7/10/2015 5:13:17 PM
It worries me that the state isn't doing a rebuttal.

by Abrandt 7/10/2015 5:13:19 PM
@Trial Watcher...they cannot charge him with anymore than they already have...it would be double jeopardy

by PA Watcher 7/10/2015 5:14:26 PM
How bad is that 911 call? Gives me chills

by Eric S. 7/10/2015 5:14:28 PM
@Anica: Could we have a poll of the chat room as to where they think the verdict will come down as?

by CindyL 7/10/2015 5:14:31 PM
Where's Ms Brady?

by Victoria 7/10/2015 5:14:32 PM
@anica,,, suggestion ,,,, is it possible to add to email alerts , one just specific for this trial updates?

by shuffie 7/10/2015 5:14:46 PM
@Trial Watcher, We've heard repeated testimony from experts that psychotics can and do plan.

by Clancy 7/10/2015 5:14:50 PM
@Clancy...ahhh, thought you were talking about the video stuff...my bad

by PA Watcher 7/10/2015 5:14:51 PM
Judge Samour says the next step is the jury instructions.

by anica.padilla 7/10/2015 5:15:25 PM
Judge Samour is releasing jurors for the day. There will be no court on Monday.

by anica.padilla 7/10/2015 5:17:52 PM
Ugh I know how you feel A.L. I haven't relaxed in a theater since this happened. Used to only be afraid of fires but now I'm afraid of violent crime too. Every time someone so much as sneezes during a movie I turn to my fiance and say "we should go!" lol

by Della (Me) 7/10/2015 5:17:55 PM
Maybe Dr. Resnick couldn't make it?

by CindyL 7/10/2015 5:17:57 PM
Trial Watcher - at one time the prosecution said they could have but made the decision not to because of time and money. In fact, they could have also included counts for everyone in theater 8 as well.

by Tammy Garrison 7/10/2015 5:18:00 PM
I'm thinking that PT might be feeling pretty good about things after the 70 some questions the jury asked Dr. Gur yesterday and that's the reasons for no rebuttal from them!!

by LG 7/10/2015 5:18:03 PM
How do you pick who gets to deliberate? @Anica.

by Goliath_Fish 7/10/2015 5:18:43 PM
@Goliath the jurors and alternates were chosen before the trial started - they just don't know which they are until it goes to deliberations.

by anica.padilla 7/10/2015 5:19:17 PM
All those jurors' lives have been affected for a long time. Imagine sitting every day in that room seeing and hearing this stuff and not being able to discuss anything with anyone.

by vt 7/10/2015 5:19:24 PM
Preciate ya -- EZ.. Had to "refresh" I knew you guys couldn't have been quiet for THAT long.

by mama d 7/10/2015 5:19:29 PM
To Holmes: Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee...

by flip 7/10/2015 5:19:32 PM
legal question: can jurors still be excused at this point?

by kate 7/10/2015 5:19:35 PM
possible poll anica: How do you rate the quality of the defense team in defending the gunman

by JG 7/10/2015 5:19:47 PM
Thanks Anica!

by EZ 7/10/2015 5:21:46 PM
@kate, yes they can

by PA Watcher 7/10/2015 5:21:47 PM
for anyone who needs one,,, here's a hug from me to you

by shuffie 7/10/2015 5:21:50 PM
@mama d- your welcome.

by EZ 7/10/2015 5:21:57 PM
I believe that the decision about the death penalty was made in late March 2013

by 5W 7/10/2015 5:22:05 PM
very ineteresting regarding jurors....had no idea...
