Day 34 in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. Today, CU psychiatrist Dr. Feinstein will return 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

Absence of swiveling during this testimony....hmmmm

by flip 6/18/2015 8:44:34 PM
its frightening how these attorney's try to turn the tables on what one says.....

by MarcyScala 6/18/2015 8:44:36 PM
Prosecution needs to fight back on this.

by Sheri Reining 6/18/2015 8:44:37 PM
Interrupting the witness and being very condescending...not a big fan of Higgs.

by JM 6/18/2015 8:44:38 PM
This attorney is very disrespectful of this witness....imagine the jury is noticing her outright hatred and anger

by mld 6/18/2015 8:44:40 PM
The Defense is doing a terrific job in showing the ineptitude in the care JH received. Feinstein ans Fenton seem very amateur compared to the "expert winesses"

by Adam 6/18/2015 8:44:42 PM
@NT8---no, not at all.

by flip 6/18/2015 8:44:45 PM
Why are they making him out to be the bad guy?

by Tammy 6/18/2015 8:44:46 PM
That's the point of the DT to make it not go well or sound like it's not going well for the PT

by LG 6/18/2015 8:44:48 PM
Feinstein is just as good as Higgs.

by MJ 6/18/2015 8:44:49 PM
@flip, neither of these two have the qualifications that Dr. Reid has.

by NT8 6/18/2015 8:44:50 PM
@NT8--Dr. Feinstein testified at length about the homicidal ideation and what Dr. Fenton and he (Feinstein) tried to do to help Holmes. And, he corroborated that vague, undefined homicidal ideation does not provide a sufficient legal cause for ordering a 72-hr involuntary hold.

The Google chat records between the gunman and Ben Garcia are now available here: bit.ly

Sorry for delay. Anica is working on 2 stories

I'll post your comments now

by Phil Tenser 6/18/2015 9:16:52 PM
The quality of care is not on trial - the guy who manipulated his psychiatrist IS on trial. Withholding info is by very definition proving he was lucid and understood right from wrong.

by JH not THE JH 6/18/2015 9:16:55 PM
Argh! The poll keeps updating, but I still have no comments for 28 minutes. I have rebooted 3 times, including completely rebooting my iPad. I will continue to watch but won't be able to see/go to anymore links or chat. I am *SO* frustrated!

by DocJ 6/18/2015 9:16:56 PM
Its time to update the current conversation

by MarcyScala 6/18/2015 9:16:58 PM
That's what I said about the 72 hour hold... what good would it have done Really?!?

by LG 6/18/2015 9:16:59 PM
28 minutes since the last post in this blog....am I stuck?

"I believe he can make rational decisions" -Dr. F

by MJ 6/18/2015 9:17:01 PM
The Defense is trying to discredit the CU psychiatrists. It seems to me that seeing a psychiatrist is a two way road, and the patient should be forthcoming about himself in order to receive help. So JH was not forthcoming with F/F. How hard do you have to squeeze the rock. Regardless, what does F/F's competence/incompetence have to do with JH's sanity or insanity.

by Chipper 6/18/2015 9:17:02 PM
Hope BRAUCHLER does the redirect

by MarcyScala 6/18/2015 9:17:03 PM
@mld what hatred and anger? hard questions are never bubbly or happy. she is fighting for his life. The People here are fighting to kill him.

by oxk 6/18/2015 9:17:04 PM
no swivel ... swivel,,,swivel

by Kelsey Murphy 6/18/2015 9:17:05 PM
I think both Fenton and Feinstein had enough evidence that someone was seriously wrong and should have done more. This isn't looking good for either of them.

by Niki C 6/18/2015 9:17:06 PM
Is it Scribble locking up, or has anyone really not posted a comment in 21 minutes?

by DocJ 6/18/2015 9:17:07 PM
Oh man, can you hear the egg shells cracking beneath his feet?

by Stephany 6/18/2015 9:17:08 PM
Higgs tone of voice is so obvious

by MarcyScala 6/18/2015 9:17:09 PM
why is she being so mean to him, sheesh.

by Morgan 6/18/2015 9:17:10 PM
Like, you can't be non responsive on purpose?!?!?! He's non responsive, he must be insane!

by FMM 6/18/2015 9:17:12 PM
Interesting how Higgs is doing the same thing Dr. Feinstein said they do when they try to get an answer from JH they ask the same questions in different way!!

by LG 6/18/2015 9:17:13 PM
Feinstein can't over ride the lead dr?

by NT8 6/18/2015 9:17:15 PM
@flip Wasn't Fenton considered the lead doctor? So it falls back on her. JMO. She was looking for opinions.

by NT8 6/18/2015 9:17:16 PM
@LG there is absolutely no way your prophecy can be verified

by oxk 6/18/2015 9:17:17 PM
Looking forward to the re-direct.

by flip 6/18/2015 9:17:19 PM
Hey Marcia Cross, why don't you call up his lawyer to ask these questions, is it not hearsay to have him answer what questions his lawyer asked?

by Stephany 6/18/2015 9:17:20 PM
why are the People not objecting to some of these questions

by Sheri Reining 6/18/2015 9:17:21 PM
That was an interesting google chat with Ben Garcia.

by Kristle 6/18/2015 9:17:22 PM
I think the defense atty is making some good points. Having said that I demeanor can make a difference. Her demeanor toward the witness is, IMO, disrespectful. And please, stop pointing at the witness like he's on trial.

by rg 6/18/2015 9:17:23 PM
The CU psychiatrists are not forensic psychiatrists....they were treating or attempting to treat a person who would not disclose anything. Analogy would be an MD trying to diagnose someone who would not have diagnostic tests i.e. blood work, X-rays, etc.
They aren't mind readers and the mind is what psychiatrists treat, but can only do that if the patient WANTS treatment

by mld 6/18/2015 9:17:24 PM
I agree this cross is hurting JH. but I can't put my finger on why I feel that way. Anyone able to put why its hurting him into words.

by bob 6/18/2015 9:17:25 PM
@adam that's why they aren't experts......
