Aurora movie theater shooting day 51: Preparations for sentencing phase

3rd & 7 37yd

I can hardly understand why a 5th teachers opinion is impactful

by FPysch 7/20/2015 8:16:07 PM
Pretty slow on that objection there Stitch.

by NT8 7/20/2015 8:16:09 PM
Karrer said there were about 500 kids at Castroville Elementary when the gunman was in 5th grade.

Sorry everyone I just tuned in this afternoon. Why is there a witness on the stand?

by Amy S 7/20/2015 8:17:35 PM
The teacher witness staring at Jimmy who chooses not to look at him. Too personal.

by Kristle 7/20/2015 8:17:39 PM
We had a bench conference over his name.

by Tammy Garrison 7/20/2015 8:17:42 PM
Karrer identifies class photo of the gunman in 5th grade.

by anica.padilla 7/20/2015 8:18:56 PM
Why is this feeling like "This Is Your Life"?

by Kristle 7/20/2015 8:18:59 PM
Karrer said the gunman was the "cohort" or leader in a group of 5-6 kids that were far above average academically.

Higgs is getting testy! "I was getting to that"

Karrer said about the group of gifted students: "It was a pleasant rivalry... very unusual, which is why I remember it."

Karrer on the gunman: "He smiled. He was a smiler... the kids liked him a lot. There was no dark side."

Karrer said the gunman and his friend suggested building a website: "They did the coding... I didn't know what the heck they were doing."

Can tell he knows what she is going to ask him ahead of time since he answers before she asks or completes her questions!!

by LG 7/20/2015 8:26:45 PM
Wonder how this teacher feels knowing he taught a killer!

by LG 7/20/2015 8:26:49 PM
You can trust a 5th grader?

by Kels 7/20/2015 8:26:52 PM
Gosh most people don't look the same as they did in 5th grade awhen it comes to adult hood!!

by LG 7/20/2015 8:26:54 PM
The witness is being recorded. See the camera on the tripod? The witness has a non refundable vacation tickets or something so he can't be around for his actual testimony.

by Kristle 7/20/2015 8:26:59 PM
Didn't Gur argue that Holmes had been a loner with high social anxiety from a very early age? This doesn't sound like whe was descibing at all.

by MW 7/20/2015 8:27:02 PM
Ohhhhh Poor Jimmy, This is so pathetic.

by NT8 7/20/2015 8:27:09 PM
don't see the relevance of this sooo many years before this happened

by JG 7/20/2015 8:27:11 PM
So what does this have to do with what the jury should sentence him to?

by Marsha Laurienti 7/20/2015 8:27:14 PM
This has nothing to do with July 20, 2012.

by NT8 7/20/2015 8:27:16 PM
Dr. Gur testified that the gunman first showed signs of self-destructive behavior after the family moved in 6th grade.

by anica.padilla 7/20/2015 8:28:55 PM
@NT8 agreed

by MJ 7/20/2015 8:29:01 PM
SO what happened to the socially awkward kid who always had social issues according to the experts and his parents?

by Marsha Laurienti 7/20/2015 8:29:03 PM
I really do not see why a 5th grade teacher has anything to do with someone on trial for murder .. :/

by Ber Celeste Nariah Escobedo 7/20/2015 8:29:05 PM
Will the jury also see the objections and bench confrences?

by DocJ 7/20/2015 8:29:07 PM
LG, I'm getting the impression he doesn't see him that way. MW, that's what I was thinking.

Karrer on gunman in 5th grade: "He was balanced. He had it all. He was like a Renaissance child... the kids liked him."

by anica.padilla 7/20/2015 8:36:25 PM
So if you are a good student you can't be a killer?

by Suzanne 7/20/2015 8:36:29 PM
pathetic how she constantly "slips" and doesnt refer to him how she was just ordered to do so

by JG 7/20/2015 8:36:31 PM
JH is starting a light swivel. Hmm. Also no longer seems engaged. I call Shenanigans on Dt for the blank demeanor!

by DocJ 7/20/2015 8:36:34 PM
I think this guy is probably a great teacher who always sees the best in the kids and gives them lots of positive reinforcement, which they really need at that age when they are starting to feel awkward.

by Tammy Garrison 7/20/2015 8:36:37 PM
I'm getting serious secondhand embarrassment from him constantly interrupting.

by Proph 7/20/2015 8:36:40 PM
@NT8 DT is having him as a character witness as to how JH was as a child as to what and how he changed to what happen to him leading up to on 7/20/12 is what they are trying to show

by LG 7/20/2015 8:36:45 PM
@NT8....thank you....agreed....there is absolutely no relevance and the jury can't even ask questions. Why are you making this light hearted? I remember my 5th grade teacher and I know she'd know me, but I DOUBT she'd be able to testify to my intelligence and my smiley-ness regarding a day where I was covered head to toe in body armor and shot up a theatre, killing twelve people to take them out of their misery because life means nothing. Yeah, way to waste a day.

by Kels 7/20/2015 8:36:48 PM
@LG I went to the same high school as nathan dunlap and had one of his english teachers and she constantly forbid us from asking that. Would be nice if the PT could ask that

by JG 7/20/2015 8:36:51 PM
Ber- He's no longer on trial for murder.

by CKP 7/20/2015 8:36:55 PM
"The Yale School of awards"? Really?

by DocJ 7/20/2015 8:36:56 PM
This is a pack of lies

by NT8 7/20/2015 8:36:58 PM
If he is supposed to help show how he has changed then why didn't they have him take the stand before deliberations???

by Suzanne 7/20/2015 8:41:31 PM
Listening to this teacher, all I can think of is, "WHAT A WASTE!"

by Sherrie H. 7/20/2015 8:41:37 PM
Renaissance kid??

by Kristle 7/20/2015 8:41:40 PM
This witness is a flat out liar. He just said they were using Netzero a full 10 years before it even existed:

This man, Paul Karrer was Jimmy's teacher in 1989. Netzero didn't exist then.

A little copy / paste from Wiki is in order: and feel free to research this!
NetZero launched in October 1998, founded by Ronald T. Burr (original CEO), Stacy Haitsuka, Marwan Zebian and Harold MacKenzie. The first national free Internet service provider, NetZero grew to 1,000,000 users in six months.

Perjury much?
