I think this is reaching. Good grief - Ted Bundy was a stand-up guy too, except for he loved murdering women. Go figure.

by Nadine 7/20/2015 9:09:23 PM
@Mark never once did the teacher say 1989. Net zero came out in 1998 and JH was using it around that time. 1998-1999.

by Brian 7/20/2015 9:09:24 PM
Wow! Listening to this teacher makes you realize we have points in our path that if we choose wisely takes you to amazing places and if you don't . . . . :(

by Just Thinkin 7/20/2015 9:12:13 PM
Great article on D7 website, Anica! You even quoted a few of us here. Wow!

by DocJ 7/20/2015 9:12:15 PM
I just came back in - where is the witness and did PT get to question him?

by DocJ 7/20/2015 9:18:50 PM
How is it that without the jury present JH is reading papers - has he recovered?

by JW 7/20/2015 9:18:55 PM
How about referring to him as the CONVICTED MURDERER

by JW 7/20/2015 9:19:06 PM
Really well written Anica!

by NT8 7/20/2015 9:19:08 PM
Not sure what Ms Nelson had for lunch but came back feisty

by Jewel 7/20/2015 9:19:14 PM
Where's the article at NT8?

Aurora movie theater shooting gunman James Holmes seems more attentive in court after guilty verdict
7NEWSAfter weeks of swiveling in his chair and staring in front of him, the gunman seemed more interested in his trial Monday.

How about baby killer? The military gets called that all the time, with no proof.

by NT8 7/20/2015 9:29:42 PM
I know Ms. nelson has to look out for her client and do her job, but.... didn't the people JH murdered and injured have a freakin' constitutional right not to be killed or injured by some crazypants idiot?

by DocJ 7/20/2015 9:29:45 PM
@LG, Last time I checked, Anica works for Denver 7, So dont bother checking the Denver Post..........

by NT8 7/20/2015 9:33:57 PM
@NT8 We are technically partners with the Denver Post so you may see my articles there, as well!

by anica.padilla 7/20/2015 9:34:41 PM
I may have missed this, but who is the guy on the DT in the blue shirt sitting in the 2nd row

by Just Thinkin 7/20/2015 9:34:43 PM
wow...she's so snippy, no one can even agree with her

by ms 7/20/2015 9:34:45 PM
She needs to calm down...ridiculous!

by Marsha Laurienti 7/20/2015 9:34:46 PM
Nelson continues to argue and the judge continues to rule again it!

by Suzanne 7/20/2015 9:45:30 PM
To read the article go to thedenverchannel.com and look for the first link about TODAY's proceedings. Don't recall the title.

Here is the article:

by anica.padilla 7/20/2015 9:46:30 PM
Oh, that's what D7 means! Denver 7....

by Kristle 7/20/2015 9:46:31 PM
She can't even explain what it is she wants, how is she arguing for it to happen and expect a jury to understand it. Goodness!

by Marsha Laurienti 7/20/2015 9:46:36 PM
Just read the article Anica! Yes, very well written! JH's demeanor IS pointedly different. He is reading papers, resting his hand on his face.

by Kristle 7/20/2015 9:46:38 PM
This is the JH I remember. At science camp!!

by Mary 7/20/2015 9:46:50 PM
The only way I would agree to life in prison without parole would be if he had to keep Nelson in his cage with him

by JW 7/20/2015 9:46:54 PM
Blue shirt, second row is PT's attorney Mr. Edson. He's been on his laptop all day.

by Kristle 7/20/2015 9:46:58 PM
Sorry, I answered my own question as I was watching tape delayed and thought it was live. It was the cameraman for the taped testimony

by Just Thinkin 7/20/2015 9:47:02 PM
JH I even leaning over and reading....SMH!

by Kristle 7/20/2015 9:47:04 PM
Maybe Nelson needs to meet with Gur or Woodcock!

by Suzanne 7/20/2015 9:47:09 PM
Judge Samour will give each side a 40 minute time limit for phase 1 arguments. The prosecution will go first and have the chance for a rebuttal after the defense.

by anica.padilla 7/20/2015 9:48:30 PM
@Anica: just read your article on James's sudden alertness and engagement in the court room now that his guilt phase is over. So no more having to play Coo-Coo for Cocoa Puffs for the jury! Good article.

by Cindy L 7/20/2015 9:48:36 PM
The judge refers to Phase 2 and Phase 3. What does he mean?

by Nadine 7/20/2015 9:49:29 PM
@Nadine - Here is a great explanation of the sentencing phases by Phil Tenser: bit.ly

by anica.padilla 7/20/2015 9:49:53 PM
JH will be stone faced once again when the jury comes back in

by Just Thinkin 7/20/2015 9:49:55 PM
@Cindy L But is used to LOVE Cocoa Puffs!! lol!

7NEWSKarrer was the gunman's 5th grade teacher in 1998-99.

by anica.padilla 7/20/2015 9:50:44 PM
@Mary. Wow! Seems like a normal kid of his age presenting good ideas. Didn't appear to have any extra social awkwardness that wouldn't be untypical for his peers.

by Just Thinkin 7/20/2015 9:56:47 PM
In other words, Nelson - Shut Up!

by Suzanne 7/20/2015 9:56:50 PM
@Mary: Have watched that before, he was so normal.

by Kristle 7/20/2015 10:01:35 PM
JH has returned to his "trial demeanor"

by Suzanne 7/20/2015 10:01:37 PM
Did Nelson not hear the verdict? He was NOT insane at when he killed 12 people and injured too many to count- HE"S GUILTY, how can she be bringing up reason of insanity for the sentencing?

by Victoria 7/20/2015 10:01:39 PM
BTW.... great tie today, Phil.

by Sherrie H. 7/20/2015 10:08:29 PM
Why is this sentencing taking so long? I heard the judge reference a date of August 3. When exactly do people take the stand and talk about what a wonderful person James Holmes was when he was 10 years old???

by Nadine 7/20/2015 10:08:32 PM
At some point, does the Prosecution bring in individuals to testify what a rotten guy James Holmes was? I'm serious - I just don't know how this works.

by Nadine 7/20/2015 10:08:36 PM
@Nadine, WED. It's going to take about 5 minutes for the PT to prove he's eligible for the DP. Then the defense gets to present witnesses on his behalf. If the jury agrees he deserves the DP, the sentencing phase begins. That's when victims, their families, and his family get their say.
