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

@rwalk it is most likely they are trying to back up their insanity claim.

Nickelas Gallup said he got on his knees and shielded his girlfriend when the shooting started.

"I witnessed the whole thing," Nickelas Gallup said. He was able to identify the sounds of different guns and saw him with a shotgun. Started to say gunman was "targeting people" - the defense objects to speculation. Gallup rephrases, but says "targeted" again.

I like this witness! He's comfortable w/ public speaking, he looks at the jury. I wonder what he does for a living. He's very well spoken and engaging. @Angela Uhm, yeah... he's a narrator lol. I think his testimony was rehearsed in front of a mirror, he thought out what he was going to say very well!

Stevie just blew that one.....

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:41:48 PM
- Objection
Prosecutor: "Did you see the shooter shoot people?"
Defense: "Objection - speculation."
Prosecutor rephrases question to ask about Gallup's observations inside the theater.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 10:42:56 PM
@Penguins - Lol I bet he did! But he does speak well.

by Angela Freeman 5/27/2015 10:42:58 PM
- Objection
Defense objects to having witness continue to stand at display.
Prosecution says they just need a few more minutes.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 10:44:04 PM
@nt8 i thought stevie was the other one??

by sydnijmm 5/27/2015 10:44:06 PM
Maybe this guy has a you tube channel......

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:44:08 PM
"Did you see the shooter shoot people" = speculation? Really?

"While shielding my girlfriend there... the muzzle flashes were getting brighter. Then I felt a burning sensation on the side of my head," Nickelas Gallup said.

Nickelas Gallup said he could see the green laser beam from the shooter's gun.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 10:46:16 PM

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:46:52 PM
Nice.... Drop an f-bomb in court...

by N 5/27/2015 10:46:53 PM
@nt lol just making sure i haven't been confused the whole time. it's happened with other things!

by sydnijmm 5/27/2015 10:49:41 PM
Been many F bombs have been dropped over 4 weeks.

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:49:44 PM
Did they show the evaluation footage yet? Man, I would have flipped for all this info two years ago when everything was barely coming to light and everyone was trying to make sense of the small amount of details being released. The fact so much is just being laid out in the open is crazy - His notes alone I'm freaking out over. Crazy how nothing made him "snap" - it was just a slow decline over the years and he was very aware of how he was. He is obviously so, so very sick and needs so much help.

by J 5/27/2015 10:50:02 PM
Make it 52 Objections.

by NT8 5/27/2015 10:50:07 PM

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 10:50:44 PM
Jury question: "Did you see the shooter move from the right-front corner?"
Nickelas Gallup said he did not.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 10:52:34 PM
How many times has this witness said "absolutely?"

by FMM 5/27/2015 10:52:36 PM
Nite All.....

anyone else think that the DT is trying to slow the PT down?

by debbie 5/27/2015 10:55:04 PM
Witness Stats for today: 12 new witnesses today, including 5 survivors (169 total sworn in, 167 testifying to date)

by Rheba 5/27/2015 11:03:12 PM
That thought crossed my mind too debbie...

by Robin 5/27/2015 11:03:15 PM
@debbie, yes but it also seems like they try to speed it up sometimes.

by sydnijmm 5/27/2015 11:03:16 PM
Final stats Day 19... 54 Objections .... 35 Over ruled @ 65% 19 Sustained @ 35%

Good Night everyone! :-)

DT eats a big chicken dinner today.

by NT8 5/27/2015 11:03:22 PM
Does Rick look like a grown up Eddie Munster?

by NT8 5/27/2015 11:03:25 PM
Not sure if the DT is trying to slow them down, but they sure seem to have an agenda. Can't quite figure out what the defense is doing.

by Sherrie H. 5/27/2015 11:06:41 PM
this is a good judge who has things under control. when will the psychiatrists testify?

by ann 5/27/2015 11:06:44 PM
@ann: One of the state-appointed psychiatrists is expected to testify tomorrow. The prosecution plans to begin playing 22 hours of interviews with the gunman recorded at the mental health hospital in Pueblo.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 11:07:33 PM
Who is Rick?

by Barb 5/27/2015 11:07:34 PM
Rick does seem to have a head that is unusually large for his shoulders.

by Sherrie H. 5/27/2015 11:07:36 PM
seriously, guys?

by sydnijmm 5/27/2015 11:08:28 PM
Rick Kornfeld is the channel 7 news analyst who is speaking at the moment. He is very knowledgable.

It's not always appropriate for jurors to hear legal arguments regarding objections, legal expert Rick Kornfeld says. "Is it annoying? Absolutely. Is it necessary? Absolutely."

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 11:10:37 PM
I don't think comments about Rick is nice. Would you like it if people talked about you that way?

by SRyan 5/27/2015 11:11:24 PM
I see...my feed was a few minutes behind.

So we get two days of the first Psych, then finish next week. Great timing by the PT!!
