Aurora movie theater shooting trial day 19: Prosecution expected to call experts and victims

Day 19 in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. Today, prosecutors are expected to call experts and victims to the stand. 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, Colo., 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

Niki... I think she's an incompetent and doesn't want to continue to embarrass herself. Ugh.

Is the approach to deflect urge saying overruled?

by Suzanne 5/27/2015 9:49:32 PM
Hi. I asked earlier but may have missed the reply. Why can't victims show emotions or describe their feelings? Missed any pre trial rulings/hearings. Thanks!

"The sound is not fantastic," Brauchler says about the DVD. No audible sound.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 9:50:05 PM
Spengler has a good memory though. She is one of the strongest lawyers on the defense side.

by Amy 5/27/2015 9:50:09 PM
Am I the only one without sound?

by Ames 5/27/2015 9:50:11 PM
all these sidebar arguments waste time...just object and let it fall where it may

by debitwo 5/27/2015 9:50:19 PM
Ah, it's back. Nevermind

by Ames 5/27/2015 9:50:33 PM
@Julie I would tend to agree but that is such a waste of the court's time. I am surprised the judge would allow that continuously

by Niki C 5/27/2015 9:50:34 PM
@Niki, The audio would still be heard. The Judge can admonish all he wants...

by NT8 5/27/2015 9:50:43 PM
Judge Samour calls second afternoon break to allow prosecution to fix the audio. Court will resume in 15 minutes.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 9:51:27 PM
Agreed Niki. But that's our justice system. So frustrating at times and yes so much of a waste

by Julie 5/27/2015 9:53:09 PM
@NT8 but you think even if he sustains, the jury would still be swayed? If I was a juror I would think the defense is hiding stuff from us

by Niki C 5/27/2015 9:53:10 PM
again, this judge does an excellent job officiating this trial

- Judge's Order
Per Judge Samour: Part of objection to evidence from Match.com had to do with hearsay. Judge overruled objection based on business records exception.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 9:54:09 PM
final 3rd Qtr stats: 39 Objections... 26 Over rules @ 67% 13 Sustained @ 33%

by NT8 5/27/2015 9:54:11 PM
Is there audio with this?

by Ke Thomson 5/27/2015 9:54:48 PM
@Jazzcat - I believe the objections have to do with hearsay, meaning they are not supposed to comment on what other people are feeling/and or thinking.

by Barb 5/27/2015 9:57:37 PM
Explains the interest of the law enforcement staff earlier...

by Robin 5/27/2015 9:57:41 PM
SCRIBBLE JUST LOCKED ME UP AGAIN.

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:00:29 PM
I wish he would have addressed standing, yes your honor, and stop asking to approach.

by Suzanne 5/27/2015 10:00:31 PM
TEST?

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:00:32 PM
Does anyone remember the officer who starred down the defendant. Can't remember his name but that was just awesome.

by Julie 5/27/2015 10:00:34 PM
phil thinks he's tim russert from msnbc that sadly passed away! Florida Florida Florida!

by Penguins219 5/27/2015 10:01:08 PM
@nt are you using a social network login? i've only encountered locking up when i sign in without social network..

by sydnijmm 5/27/2015 10:01:58 PM
@7 - can you find out why the judge allows the bench conferences in lieu of open court objections?

by Niki C 5/27/2015 10:02:10 PM
i missed that! I wish I could've seen it. Every time a new witness gets called, I hope to see that exact thing @julie.

by Ames 5/27/2015 10:02:29 PM
Nice Windsor Knot Phil! I honestly didn't think you had it in you.....

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:02:33 PM
Is today over?

by Joey 5/27/2015 10:02:44 PM
@syd, Using the denver7 link

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:02:45 PM
@Joey: Second afternoon recess. Court should resume shortly.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 10:03:02 PM
ABC7 is doing an awesome job!!!!!! Technology has hiccups, but hiccups only last a few seconds!

by Amy 5/27/2015 10:03:07 PM
Thanks Phil for all you guys (gals) do!

@NT8 ...I have had problems with scribble for two days now..hope it gets fixed!

by SRyan 5/27/2015 10:03:10 PM
@nt8 on the website? do you just type in your name and click sign in or do you sign in with a social network? i use twitter for mine on the computer, but it won't work through the app so i have to sign in with just typing in a name.. it ALWAYS locks up on me that way.

by sydnijmm 5/27/2015 10:06:50 PM
@Barb - Thank you. He also seems to very tightly control emotional outbursts, as evidenced by his admonishment to the gallery before the break. I do like the judge very much, though.

by Jazzcat 5/27/2015 10:06:51 PM
@Anica thank you so much! I have been listening but someone just quit and I have so many billings and what not to do. SO I have been able to keep up :(

by Joey 5/27/2015 10:06:52 PM
been very impressed with the coverage watching live most days here in the UK court normally ends at midnight my time BTW evening all

by MickEFC_ 5/27/2015 10:06:54 PM
Ames. He's the only one I've seen do it so far.

by Julie 5/27/2015 10:06:55 PM
I am also having some trouble with scribble today. Granted it's my first day chatting

by Mama2 5/27/2015 10:06:57 PM
@Niki, If i was the DT i would do my objections in private also. Less info is better when trying to sway a jury.

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:06:58 PM
@NT8 - agree to disagree...I would present full disclosure, but then again, I can't even have shut doors in my house :)

by Niki C 5/27/2015 10:09:04 PM
Counting this as an over rule.

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:09:05 PM
@mama2 having to restart everytime also?

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:10:08 PM
I too agree that there should be "Full Disclosure"...

by Robin 5/27/2015 10:10:08 PM
Presentation given by gunman in May 2012 is now being played for jurors.
