Hee hee. Edson and JH seemed to have new haircuts.

arguing legal speak

Did Nelson just get snarky with the judge?

Legal beagles

If JH is found not guilty by reason of insanity , I'll be sad for the victims and their families as they'll feel he isn't getting what he deserves = justice . However , this will be a landmark day in the world of mental illness.

JH looks alot younger now that his beard was shaved off. I think thats for the jury....to make him look young so the jury will have a harder time condemming him to death.

@TJQ: I thought so. Like what they did to Jodi Arias by putting her in eye glasses...and conservative dresses.

I know they are going by the law, but the evidence the prosecution presented is overwhelming

Say it too many times, and suddenly they may start thinking the opposite of what you want them to do.

It will however be interesting to see the defense in action with lots of objections from prosecution

100 years ago - give or take , you were either guilty , not guilty or not guilty by means of mental disease of defect . Essentially one would either walk home, walk to the gallows , or walk into a mental institution . Women , especially , mostly fell into category III because we did not understand mental illness , and the results would be " Well , whatever mental illness is -- that sweet , pretty , petite little woman must have it , because that's the only thing that would allow her to commit such a crime " . We "get" mental illness now -- at least a heck of lot better than we did 100 yrs ago , or 20 years ago , or even last year. -- Thus this plea rarely sticks. However I do not see that happening in this case . And when the jury returns a " not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect " to James Holmes ,it will be the biggest landmark day in mental illness history since the Andrea Yates case .
