Aurora movie theater shooting trial day 20: Videotaped interviews with gunman to be played in court

Day 20 in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. Today, prosecutors plan to question state-appointed psychiatrist Dr. William Reid to the stand and play videotaped interviews between the doctor and the gunman. 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

i noticed a potted plant in one of the pics. struck me funny that someone who sees no value in life would take the time to water a plant and keep it alive.. anyone else notice this?

Psychologists have a PhD, does not have physician/medical background, and cannot prescribe medicine. Psychiatrists are able to prescribed medications.

by Tired 5/28/2015 5:17:06 PM
JH prolly thinking about what he said to this psychiatrist.

by Kristle 5/28/2015 5:17:41 PM
@Rheba and really what a great list!

by Niki C 5/28/2015 5:17:42 PM
So what was in the emails besides the pictures?

by Tammy Garrison 5/28/2015 5:20:07 PM
@tired I don't get that at all. The training it takes to become an MD is amazing and if I went that route, I would certainly be pretty proud of myself too

by Niki C 5/28/2015 5:20:09 PM
@AMee I have ChromeCast and have been trying to cast this trial with no success. Do you have to use a YouTube app to cast or can you just open the YouTube window from thedenverchannel dot com?

by Lori Butterfield 5/28/2015 5:20:16 PM
@Tired...not fair....he's paid his dues and is entitled to speak on his background....

by Valm46 5/28/2015 5:20:19 PM
@Niki Thank you! Making the list is feeding my OCD. LOL

by rheba 5/28/2015 5:20:23 PM
UNMC!!!

by NT8 5/28/2015 5:20:25 PM
@Kristie--I'm laughing so hard right now..

by Tired 5/28/2015 5:20:30 PM
He was ASKED about his background. Shows he's an expert in his field.

by Kristle 5/28/2015 5:20:31 PM
Thank you Rheba. This has so been hard on this kid and I want to be sure to support him while he is on the stand

by MLC 5/28/2015 5:20:37 PM
Who did this doctor say appointed him to this case?

by rheba 5/28/2015 5:20:43 PM
@rheba: Dr. Reid was appointed by the state.

by anica.padilla 5/28/2015 5:20:57 PM
What a career!

by NH 5/28/2015 5:20:58 PM
@Tired: LOL!!

by Kristle 5/28/2015 5:21:35 PM
@Lori, I'm using Chromecast from Chrome without a problem.

Dr. Reid: "Most of the patients I saw were seriously ill people." Includes anxiety, depression, personality disorders, psychosis, schizophrenia, etc.

by anica.padilla 5/28/2015 5:22:54 PM
Wow he has a resume!!

by Joey 5/28/2015 5:22:56 PM
@Lori I have been using the YouTube app. You just have to make sure to find the live video, I usually type in the trial day.

by AMeeMan 5/28/2015 5:22:59 PM
Dr. Reid is legit!

by AMeeMan 5/28/2015 5:23:00 PM
What an impressive background!

by Liz 5/28/2015 5:23:50 PM
@Rheba - may I ask why you do this list? don't get me wrong...love it, but even as much as I've watched the trial, I don't think I would have been this accurate

by Niki C 5/28/2015 5:24:14 PM
DS-4 and 5 are the diagnostic tools that are the golden standard to determine all mental illnesses

by Harold Finch 5/28/2015 5:24:18 PM
probably won't get to see any video until after lunch. Just going over his credentials will take a while. Amazing career....

by Jaclyn Green 5/28/2015 5:24:24 PM
@rheba Thanks, Rheba. Ha ha. My husband would say it's PEBKAC. Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. :-)

by Lori Butterfield 5/28/2015 5:24:30 PM
Okay, Fair enough. I was making a joke. Its obvious that he is more than qualified as an expert. I would be very proud to have an education such as his.

by Tired 5/28/2015 5:24:36 PM
I'm impressed!

by Abrandt 5/28/2015 5:24:44 PM
@Niki I have no idea. LOL I really am a little bit OCD and list making is fun for me, so why not?

by rheba 5/28/2015 5:26:22 PM
I like that he speaks directly to the jury.

by Liz 5/28/2015 5:26:48 PM
@Liz you can tell he did this a few times.

by Joey 5/28/2015 5:29:11 PM
its amazing to hear how smart people are.

by nvw3k2 5/28/2015 5:29:14 PM
I watched a trial from the UK recently and noticed the witnesses always spoke to the jury. I thought it was interesting and effective.

by rheba 5/28/2015 5:29:19 PM
He kind of sounds a little bit like Dick Van Dike no?

by Tired 5/28/2015 5:29:22 PM
Can't imagine how the defense could discredit him.

by Tammy Garrison 5/28/2015 5:29:24 PM
@Rheba - well I just think it is fantastic. I watch for writing research and the list helps so much!

by Niki C 5/28/2015 5:29:34 PM
@tired, totally!

by AMeeMan 5/28/2015 5:30:32 PM
I have to say I like the DT not talking. I know this is short lived.

by Suzanne 5/28/2015 5:30:34 PM
He was court appointed and not a paid hired gun by either side.
