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

3rd & 7 37yd

I say give him a disease for which we don't have a cure for and then try to find one....treat him like a lab rat. (I know, I know, it's inhumane...he has rights, blah blah blah) He wanted to be remembered for something, so how about for something good.

The dang "live blog" hasn't been updated in over an hour..even though I know the trial has gone on from checking this feed. This feed in itself doesn't refresh/update on its own and that's really disappointing. I don't know if anyone here can help but it's definitely annoying when I want to hear/read what's going on.

LG your opinion .. if you want to PUNISH a man, give him LWOP trust me .. given a choice the majority of men would rather die.

Why would the jurors have to go to work on days off from court?

by vikings 6/18/2015 5:17:47 PM
I just got here, what is the Jury reading?

by Abrandt 6/18/2015 5:18:18 PM
@klincos more like 8.12 a day from a study done in 4/2015

by deb 6/18/2015 5:18:40 PM
@Sharon....huh? something wrong on your end, I think. Live blog has been working continuously.

by flip 6/18/2015 5:18:41 PM
vikings.. they only get "jury pay" for the days they are in court. if they have jobs, they go to work.

by klincos 6/18/2015 5:19:05 PM
A prisoner gets fed 3 times a day free, gets free healthcare, free internet, free cable TV, access to a library, a weight room, free computer lab, they can earn a degree, they have a roof over their heads, free clothing.

by Chipper 6/18/2015 5:22:07 PM
It averages $25,000 a year to house one prisoner, but that amount varies greatly on medical care and the security level of the prison.

by Jennifer 6/18/2015 5:22:10 PM
@klincos.....huh my opinion...sorry you lost me there with you comment?

by LG 6/18/2015 5:22:11 PM
@Abrandt--"Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky. At least its not "War and Peace"

by flip 6/18/2015 5:22:16 PM
@Phil - question for legal team - why is an excused juror allowed to sit in on the trial after being dismissed? Seeing as she's probably made friends with a lot of jurors, isn't there a higher chance of her running into them at the court house and discussing the trial with them?

@klincos...many employers will continue to pay base salary during jury duty but require that any "jury pay" plus per diems, if any, be turned in to the employer

by PA Watcher 6/18/2015 5:22:37 PM
What do the alternate jurors do during deliberation Are they allowed to informally come to a verdict themselves? Are they allowed to discuss the case at all?

by DocJ 6/18/2015 5:22:41 PM
Esp. if a juror goes to work.

by NeuroNonsense 6/18/2015 5:23:07 PM
not even deb... I would like to see that "study" .. cost depends on the type of facility and the location .. the max where my husband was yearly reports are done typically WELL under two dollars .. I have seen some correctional centers under a dollar .. maybe a low security facility that martha stewart went to increased that average but state facilities would never incur such costs for daily food. I would think that report is not based on any kind of average I was referring to. sorry.

Prosecution calls Frances Osterberg, Assistant Dean at CU Anschutz graduate program.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 5:24:14 PM
@ docj - until deliberations the jury doesn't know who is jury and who is alternates.

by NH 6/18/2015 5:24:28 PM
@DocJ...typically alternates are not allowed to deliberate among themselves...more importantly if a deliberating juror drops for any reason and is replaced by an alternate...all deliberations must begin anew

by PA Watcher 6/18/2015 5:24:42 PM
@jennifer, in a study done in NYC in 2012 it showed that it costs 168,000.00 a year to house a prisoner. Medical,food, housing, staffing,etc.

by deb 6/18/2015 5:25:30 PM
agree PA but do they pay during days when court in not in session? I think they need a court signed document to say they attended, no?

by klincos 6/18/2015 5:25:32 PM
Osterberg identifies the gunman's academic records from UC Riverside.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 5:26:00 PM
@docj - sorry misread your question...

by NH 6/18/2015 5:26:02 PM
Osterberg identifies the gunman's GRE scores as part of his academic record.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 5:26:34 PM
Osterberg identifies the gunman's petition for in-state residency (for lower tuition.)

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 5:27:04 PM
I meant during deliberations. Phil said (I think) that the jurors are then separated out at that time with alternates in one room and the deliberators in another doing the deliberation. I just wonder what the alternates do.

by DocJ 6/18/2015 5:27:08 PM
@deb- Again, it varies greatly depending on the factors I mentioned.

by Jennifer 6/18/2015 5:27:10 PM
no prob @NH. Thanks PA.

by DocJ 6/18/2015 5:27:45 PM
@klincos...far as I know they have to be actively serving to get paid; thus a person that would normally work a Saturday still has to work, dy off trial have to go to work, etc.

by PA Watcher 6/18/2015 5:27:48 PM
@Phil....question for the legal team from yesterday. The juror that went to lunch with a co-worker told the Judge that her co-worker tried to have a conversation with her or made statements about the trial to the juror. How likely is it that the detectives, from either side, will go and question the co-worker who had lunch with the juror to try to find out what was said? Can and/or would the Judge send someone to explain his advisements to them?

by Stephany 6/18/2015 5:27:58 PM
@DocJ...twiddle their thumbs :)

by PA Watcher 6/18/2015 5:28:22 PM
@PA - Iwould get really good at Suduko and crossword puzzles. lol

by DocJ 6/18/2015 5:31:06 PM
@flip historically, that can be all kinds of killing whether done with the "sleepy" method or the "mass gas" method Seems like a simple thing, however, not very much awareness given to the many problems that can exist. LIfe was lost or changed. Those alive must realize that all kinds of things lurk in the shadows---reason or no reason. Events can't necessarily be predicted or prevented as we are subjected to changes never imagined. I keep thinking how most wild animals are killed if they interfere with human life. Aggressive? Mean? In the way? No surprise that a mentally ill person, who asked for help many times, would still want to be killed. Who knows? JH might have an understanding , in time, that might actually help us. Maybe not, but when will there be a better chance to see?

by okx 6/18/2015 5:31:36 PM
@Chipper .. you've obviously never had a loved one in prison. they get very little free. cable in state facility typically comes from a fund they men pay into from the money they pay into from what they buy (food, shoes, etc.) that are not provided. your statement is very typical of the general public's view on life behind bars. health care is a joke. food is often inedible. max prisons are no picnic, you would all be very satisfied about how messed up they are. nothing like you think .. no free ride. SMH

by klincos 6/18/2015 5:31:59 PM
Me too Doc :)

by PA Watcher 6/18/2015 5:32:01 PM
Why do we care about this? Guesses?

by NH 6/18/2015 5:32:27 PM
If I were a juror, I'd find it very hard to go to work during the jury. It would be natural for people to ask you "why are you here today" or depending on the work, the public (mail person, Fed Ex etc) may out of being nice ask where have you been for the last several months, etc.

Prosecution calls Arapahoe County Deputy Sheriff Thomas Triska.

Prison should be the worst place on earth.

What!? Sheriff guarding the rail is called?!

by DocJ 6/18/2015 5:34:35 PM
Triska helped transport the gunman from the jail to the court house on September 20. Says the gunman was in the holding cell for 2-3 hours before the hearing.

by anica.padilla 6/18/2015 5:35:47 PM
Just as an aside...wouldn't it make more sense to unchain JH from the floor and hope he tries lunging at someone...seems like it would save a ton of time and money...that Courtroom Sheriff Sergeant looks no nonsense ;)
