Morning all. I think he was better for the prosecution than for the defense. Was thinking about something. Was wondering if defense might save Dr. Gur for last, if she's suppose to be such a strong witness, in order to try to leave her testimony in their minds.
Dr Woodcock was terrible. He didn't seem to take much time at all to render his opinion. He didn't look at all the facts. And on the stand he was evasive.
So quick question - someone mentioned that the defense wanted the judge to recuse himself at one point? I searched but could never find anything on this... anyone have any info?
Morning everyone. Brauchler fried Woodcock, he seems like he's having a hard time keeping his stuff together. Also, Woodcocks voice reminds me of Alec Trebek lol
Good Morning All! @Anica...he was very flustered in his answers, gave a ton of information that didn't pertain to the question and kept trying to prove he was right with his insanity opinion.
@bob - agreed. He was resistant to answering Brauchler's questions, but had no trouble answering King's. He was either REALLY coached or REALLY bad as a witness.
@ Anica - I think he was not a good witness for the defense. He seemed like he just was there to say JH was insane, but really didn't do a proper examine of JH.
i don't remember the exact quote. but Dr. Woodcock tried to say that other doctors didn't look at the evidence in whole either. and the prosecution refuted that
@Brandon, here is a portion of an article which appeared in the Aurora Sentinel regarding the DT asking for Judge Samour to step down from the case:

AURORA | "The judge in the Aurora theater case today rejected a defense request for him to step down as judge in the case.
In a ruling handed down and released Friday, Judge Carlos A. Samour, Jr. said he would not step down from the case and said the defense has misconstrued his blunt approach as being hostile to their side.
Lawyers for accused theater shooter James Holmes had asked Samour on Thursday to step down, arguing that he has been hostile to the defense and personally attacked them in some of his orders."
Wow! WAH, Mr. King! I honestly think that Judge Samour has been very patient and fair during this trial. I know because there have been times where I got frustrated with him for siding with the defense. LoL
