- Judge's Order
Judge Samour: Ashley Moser should be allowed to explain why she brought a 6-year-old to a midnight movie on a Thursday night.

So happppppy Judge Carlos ruled that way about the video!!

by LG 6/18/2015 2:56:46 PM
Yay! Go Judge!

by Simon 6/18/2015 2:58:15 PM
@DocJ - I think that is a great question re: 8th ammendment. I didn't get it either.

Judge Samour sustains objection to questions about why Veronica Moser-Sullivan was not sitting on her mother's lap.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 2:59:16 PM
Looking forward to the release of the google chat with Ben Garcia. Watched his testimony last night and wow!! He sounds just like JH!! It's eery how much they are alike. Almost like brothers (from another mother, lol).

by Kristle 6/18/2015 2:59:17 PM
I just love this judge!!

by Tammy 6/18/2015 2:59:18 PM
i think judge samour is very fair and doing a wonderful job!

by naturegurl 6/18/2015 3:00:13 PM
So Ashley Moser is testifying today instead of tomorrow? Read a comment here about that possibility.

by Kristle 6/18/2015 3:00:16 PM
- Judge's Order
Judge Samour says testimony about Ashley falling on Veronica and asking a friend if she was breathing is relevant because it shows when Ashley was shot, she couldn't tell whether Veronica was breathing. However, Ashley should not repeat what friend said. Objection sustained.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:03:02 PM
I am just so surprised at how much the jury doesn't actually know with what is kept out. How can 12 people make a factual, reasonable decision without all of the information?

by Tammy 6/18/2015 3:03:04 PM
@Kristie. I thought he sounded strange too. But more like JH was trying to be like him. Did you notice they both said 'yep' and 'nope' the same way? I think JH was adopting Garcia's manerisms because he has none of his own

by Niki C 6/18/2015 3:03:05 PM
Channel 7 reported this morning she might @Kristie

by LG 6/18/2015 3:03:23 PM

Ashley Moser can say that she could not move off Veronica. Judge: "It is part of what took place."
Objection overruled.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:04:03 PM
- Judge's Order
Testimony about Ashley Moser's pants falling down after the shooting will be allowed.
Objection overruled - with stipulation that the narrative is limited.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:05:44 PM
Does Orman have on a beige or black suit, lol. The Men In Black....er, beige.

by Kristle 6/18/2015 3:05:45 PM
Couldn't all of this be excited utterance and thought of impending death? both of which are exceptions to hearsay?

by Niki C 6/18/2015 3:05:46 PM
@Shelia I honestly don't care to know what JH is thinking :)

by LG 6/18/2015 3:05:47 PM
- Judge's Order
Testimony about Ashley Moser hearing about having a CAT scan because she was pregnant will not be allowed.
Objection sustained - hearsay.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:06:48 PM
Good morning...I dont have video....

by Tired 6/18/2015 3:06:49 PM
HOW can JH sit so still for hours? He must be sedated! I know he is chained down and moves the chair, but looks like he is in a hypnotic state?

by wp 6/18/2015 3:06:50 PM
@Niki: YES!! They sound the same with "yep" and "nope". I spent way too much time last night overthinking how alike they are. Even pronunciation of words. It's 3 years later and they still sound the same. Like what's JH doing? Is he still "acting" like Ben. I just don't know. The jury's still out on that, lol.

by Kristle 6/18/2015 3:07:44 PM
- Judge's Order
Judge will allow question "At some point Sunday did you find out that Veronica did not survive?" But not testimony about whether people lied to her Saturday.
Objection overruled.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:09:33 PM
Got it now.

by Tired 6/18/2015 3:09:34 PM
@WP in DT opening statement they said he was on heavy meds

by LG 6/18/2015 3:09:35 PM
- Judge's Order
Judge will allow question "At some point did you find out you lost your unborn baby?"
Objection overruled.
Judge: "This is her body."

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:10:16 PM
- Judge's Order
Testimony about Ashley losing a lung and needed to use oxygen at night will be allowed.
Objection overruled.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:11:17 PM
- Judge's Order
Testimony about Ashley still having fragments in her body will be allowed.
Objection overruled.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:11:41 PM
- Judge's Order
Question about how long Ashley Moser was hospitalized - relevant to the extent of her injuries.
Objection overruled.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:12:34 PM
Testimony about the skills Ashley Moser had to relearn after being paralyzed may not be allowed.
DA George Brauchler: "She was classified as a quadriplegic."

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:15:04 PM
JH acted the same way during the video's with Dr. Reid. I couldn't understand myself how someone could sit so still.

by Jaclyn 6/18/2015 3:15:46 PM
Wow....my heart aches for Ashley...she really lost a lot and has completely devastating lifelong injuries and loss.

by Tammy 6/18/2015 3:15:48 PM
dumb DT, did they forget the fact that pretty much each instance of them objecting to the victims telling of their injuries sustained was overruled due to the extent of the injuries.

by JG 6/18/2015 3:15:49 PM
Wait.... how long was Ms. Moser hospitalized???

by imnotreallyhere 6/18/2015 3:15:55 PM
@imnotreallyhere: About 16 months.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:16:09 PM
Nice job Anica!

by Tired 6/18/2015 3:16:11 PM
I can't remember if it was mentioned in opening statements. Will the jury be finding out during Ashley's testimony that she lost her baby or do they already know?

by Della (Me) 6/18/2015 3:16:13 PM
Of all of the survivors...has everyone testified except for Ashley Moser?

by Tammy 6/18/2015 3:16:21 PM
I don't believe that he is heavily medicated or sedated. I do believe that he is adequately medicated to be "present and aware" of these trials. It would be against the law to have him so incredibly doped up on medication that he couldn't be a part of his own trial. While the dosage of medication that he may be on may be enough to sedate an elephant it is also very possible that over the past couple years with the aid of constant monitoring and tweaking of his medications that he is on the right dosage & right medication. I don't think that he appears zombie like, I think that he has been coached to not show emotion or make any big movements.

by Incognito 6/18/2015 3:16:36 PM
All survivors injuries suffered are horrific and Ashley Moser's long list of injuries gives me nightmares. I hope their testimony causes JH to not just. "Regret" that he caused it but more, idk what, just regretting it seems too cavalier.

by Kristle 6/18/2015 3:16:39 PM
My god this breaks my heart so to hear all that Ashley has gone thru and had to deal with a lot of this hasn't been reported or come out until now... so heartbreaking!!

by LG 6/18/2015 3:16:43 PM
At the very least, it is clear that Judge Samour is sane. Thank you for making fair and wise rulings in this case.

by flip 6/18/2015 3:16:45 PM

Testimony about Ashley Moser's nerve pain will be allowed, but limited.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 3:17:51 PM
- Judge's Order
Judge Samour agrees to show photo of Ashley Moser's daughter - "But only for 3 seconds."
