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

This PT lawyer always has trouble communicating then he gets frustrated.

The defense is fighting this hard cause it really hurts them. The Will You Visit Me in prison tag line shows He knew his actions were illegal/wrong.

Looks like Higgs attended the School of Annoyance run by Spengler...must be damaging if DT is trying so hard to keèp it out....

by Valm46 5/27/2015 8:10:18 PM
I think that "will you visit me in prison statement" is one of the worst things for the defense

by Niki C 5/27/2015 8:10:25 PM
GEEEEZZZZ.....

by NT8 5/27/2015 8:10:43 PM
Higgs doesn't seem to be using accurate legal objections to keep having to approach.

by Niki C 5/27/2015 8:10:54 PM
Oh man...

by KP 5/27/2015 8:12:31 PM
Is that a picture of JH with red hair?

by Kristle 5/27/2015 8:12:33 PM
@NT8....they were walking around looking back in the gallery at spectators pretty hard...and this has gotten ridiculous. As a juror, this would make me think they don't want this evidence in.

by Tammy 5/27/2015 8:12:35 PM
Good call on Several of you!!

by NT8 5/27/2015 8:12:37 PM
@abrandt *ding ding ding ding ding* You get the trial watcher of the day award!

Judge Samour previously stated that the defendant had "disparate reactions" to the two sanity examinations.
The second sanity evaluation was ordered after the court determined the first evaluation, which was completed by Dr. Jeffrey Metzner, was "incomplete and inadequate."

@Tammy, maybe the AFF website got the Deputies to thinking........

by NT8 5/27/2015 8:16:58 PM
Did anyone get a count on how many times that approached for this ONE whole witness?

by Insider 5/27/2015 8:17:01 PM
July 18th........ Gives up?

by NT8 5/27/2015 8:17:03 PM
Did he just say the last login was July 18th?

by Tammy 5/27/2015 8:17:04 PM
@Tammy, I agree. The persistent and rather annoying objects by Higgs just brought more attention to what they wanted out.

by Niki C 5/27/2015 8:17:06 PM
*curtsy* Thank you

by Abrandt 5/27/2015 8:17:08 PM
Ok, I'm been gone for awhile. What did I miss? What happened to the 22 hour video tape?

by Suzanne 5/27/2015 8:18:05 PM
JUly 24th? How did he get on? or did AFF just Dump him and refund all the money?

by NT8 5/27/2015 8:18:07 PM
@Suzanne: LOTS of static. The videotape will be played in segments, with questions from the prosecution after each part. The defense will get to replay as much of the video as needed for cross examination.

Hi everyone. First time here.

by Julie 5/27/2015 8:18:54 PM
@7 was Dr. Metzner for defense or prosecution?

by Niki C 5/27/2015 8:18:56 PM
@NikiC: Dr. Metzner and Dr. Reid are state-appointed psychiatrists.

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 8:19:22 PM
Welcome Julie!!!!

by NT8 5/27/2015 8:19:23 PM
I bet in order to request a refund, someone has to log in. He had already been arrested by the 24th.

by Penguins219 5/27/2015 8:20:34 PM
@Julie Welcome!

by Abrandt 5/27/2015 8:20:36 PM
back from class. didn't take long to catch up due to all of the feed issues. lol. welcome, julie!

by sydnijmm 5/27/2015 8:20:38 PM
@7, so Dr. Reid was brought in because Metzner was incomplete?

by Niki C 5/27/2015 8:20:40 PM
@NikiC: According to a court order, the original evaluation "failed to adequately explore many areas the Court deemed significant, and failed to properly explain why he reached important conclusions."

by anica.padilla 5/27/2015 8:21:30 PM
@Julie, welcome to our group!

by Liz 5/27/2015 8:21:32 PM
@julie Welcome! Most of us don't bite. Feel free to say whatever is on your mind. We're a friendly group, a lot of us being here since day 1. (although no one said a peep in Scribble chat for about a week, lol... we were a buncha lurkers :-)

by Penguins219 5/27/2015 8:21:38 PM

by Suzanne 5/27/2015 8:23:30 PM

Aight, Somebody explain what she just asked in laymans terms Please! Kristie?

by NT8 5/27/2015 8:23:37 PM
Today is my first day here as well...was on the Youtube channel but the commentary finally got to me.

by Niki C 5/27/2015 8:23:39 PM
The Defendant may have given the Jury grounds to find Him sane with the Will You Visit Me in Prison tag lines on the dating sites.

by Abrandt 5/27/2015 8:24:05 PM
So Higgs is annoying?

by Suzanne 5/27/2015 8:24:07 PM
Break time for meeee
