Aurora movie theater shooting trial day 35: Survivor Ashley Moser to testify

Prosecutors have said they will call survivor Ashley Moser to testify on day 35 of the theater shooting trial - People vs. James Eagan Holmes. 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

Not gonna happen!

by Niki C 6/19/2015 9:04:31 PM
Poor Nelson---doesn't look like she believes any of her own arguments for acquittal. Sounds like a machine talking.

by flip 6/19/2015 9:05:01 PM
Prosecuting attorney Richard Orman disputes the defense's claims that the gunman did not possess a culpable mental state.

by anica.padilla 6/19/2015 9:06:30 PM
Wow. Her heart is not in this acquittal proposal.

by litprof 6/19/2015 9:06:32 PM
This is not going to happen. Motion denied.

by EZ 6/19/2015 9:06:33 PM
Nelson drives me nuts!

by Victoria 6/19/2015 9:06:35 PM
this is a normal request by the DT

by LG 6/19/2015 9:06:37 PM
I wonder how she actual feels standing there asking for an aquittal.

by Katatt 6/19/2015 9:06:38 PM
If I was Orman, I would be like..."your honor....is she serious?!

by Tammy 6/19/2015 9:06:40 PM
I don't think so....

by Ann 6/19/2015 9:06:41 PM
That attourney sounds imo opnion. I'm saying this but I don't really want to.

Orman lists the ammunition the gunman had.
"He went into the theater with at least 314 rounds. But for the malfunctioning of the drum magazine and other facts... he would have killed a lot more people."

by anica.padilla 6/19/2015 9:09:20 PM
what does acquittal mean? All charges dropped?

by inita 6/19/2015 9:09:24 PM
Go Orman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Tammy 6/19/2015 9:09:25 PM
His 14th amendment rights? Really? That applies to who can be president, how representatives are apportioned and elected, incurring debt on behalf of the country, and Congress having the power to enforce and legislate the provisions of this article. HOW does this apply to JH? Are they just pulling constitutional amendments out of their hinny?

by DocJ 6/19/2015 9:09:28 PM
@katatt - I've been asking that for a long time. Does the DT really believe he is not guilty?

by Ann 6/19/2015 9:09:29 PM
@debitwo after the defense team make a motion for acquittal when PT ends its case then what happens next?

Orman: "He went to the theater with more than 400 .223 rounds, more than 275 .45 caliber rounds and 12 shotgun shells (with 100 pellets each.)"

by anica.padilla 6/19/2015 9:10:31 PM
Atta boy, Orman--go get 'em.

by flip 6/19/2015 9:10:33 PM
@EZ ok thanks!! And, really, DT?? I guess we're gonna acquit Charles Manson next, right? pfft.

by Trinity 6/19/2015 9:10:36 PM
@MJ...then the judge denies the motion and the defense puts on their case

by debitwo 6/19/2015 9:10:40 PM
The length of a trial like this one has nothing to do with providing "justice" for a defendant. The laws governing trials is written by LAWYERS. They use "justice" to generate laws aimed at prolonging trials as much as possible to maximize the costs OR, if you will, the income for lawyers.

I meant insane

Orman: "Every time the defendant pulled the trigger... his intent was to kill whatever person... was in front of that bullet."

by anica.padilla 6/19/2015 9:12:53 PM
Mr. Orman is certainly making very deliberate points with his rebuttal. Good for him!

by Katatt 6/19/2015 9:12:55 PM
Steal bullets are the worst!!!

Orman says the gunman acted with malice of forethought and did long and extensive planning.
"His intent was to make a corpse of every living soul in that theater."

by anica.padilla 6/19/2015 9:13:26 PM
I don't think there is any chance Samour will grant an acquittal. No way.

by Ann 6/19/2015 9:13:28 PM
@debitwo thank you.

by MJ 6/19/2015 9:13:29 PM
Hence going back to my 400 attempted murder charges.

by NT8 6/19/2015 9:14:30 PM
Your welcome, MJ

by debitwo 6/19/2015 9:14:48 PM
Go, Orman! Don't forget the full body armor! He did not intend to go down.

by Lori Butterfield 6/19/2015 9:14:50 PM
really like Orman's passion right now!

by naturegurl 6/19/2015 9:14:51 PM
With you NT8.

by Tammy Garrison 6/19/2015 9:15:55 PM
@NT8 there's your answer!

by LG 6/19/2015 9:16:52 PM
Make his case for him, Judge.

by Tammy Garrison 6/19/2015 9:21:24 PM
King is ready to go!

by Steve 6/19/2015 9:21:25 PM
Orman rocks!

by 1918 6/19/2015 9:21:26 PM
King knows there won't be an acquittal--he's got his bag on his knee and he's ready to bolt.

by flip 6/19/2015 9:21:28 PM
Prosecution rests in theater shooting trial after 35 days; Defense to begin their case on Thursday
7NEWSYour honor, the people of the State of Colorado rest, the DA said after the testimony of Ashley Moser.

Fantastic job "Orman" you were the right lawyer for the reply to Nelson's request!!

by LG 6/19/2015 9:22:54 PM
Did we lose the feed or just me?

by Niki C 6/19/2015 9:22:56 PM
Judge: "I agree with Mr. Orman." Judge Samour says the evidence suggests the gunman acted with intent and after deliberation. The prosecution does not have to prove he had a specific target.

by anica.padilla 6/19/2015 9:25:10 PM
Where does King run off to everyday?

by Victoria 6/19/2015 9:25:11 PM
Phil answered my 400 counts of attempted murder questions yesteda yesterday. sorry cant back space on scribble. DT your not getting an Acquittal.

by NT8 6/19/2015 9:25:13 PM
Like all the reasonable people here who believe he is guilty.

by Tammy Garrison 6/19/2015 9:25:14 PM
Ahh. Thank you for explaining, Judge. You're the best.

by DocJ 6/19/2015 9:25:15 PM
Victoria I have wondered the same thing. All packed up and ready to go!

by Ann 6/19/2015 9:26:58 PM
Holmes yawning during the Judge's ruling...."ah, so what"

by flip 6/19/2015 9:27:27 PM
being guilty is not the issue, its guilty due to insanity

by texas 6/19/2015 9:31:36 PM
Glad to hear the motion for acquittal has been denied. JH doesn't deserve an acquittal. I think the Prosecution did a good job proving their case.

by EZ 6/19/2015 9:31:38 PM
King running home for dinner every day.

by Suzanne 6/19/2015 9:31:39 PM
ahhh wish we coulda had a bench trial!

by debitwo 6/19/2015 9:31:40 PM
I missed that.. what was so funny

by ms 6/19/2015 9:31:41 PM
I have watched Mr. King pack up and be ready to bolt almost every day. Perhaps an unconscious communication about his feelings about the defendent.

by Katatt 6/19/2015 9:31:43 PM
@ Trinity- Your welcome. Sorry just saw the message now.

by EZ 6/19/2015 9:31:46 PM
Have a great father's day weekend everyone!
