Aurora movie theater shooting trial day 39: Defense may introduce new jail video
Aurora movie theater shooting trial day 39: The defense may introduce new jail video.

will some confirm we lost the audio, so I can stop beat up my IPad!! LOL -

@NT8--you never know. Depends on whether Weintraub's testimony can be turned or reinterpreted in part to favor the prosecution.
@Suzanne--I believe that Dr. Woodcock said that Holmes was insane. -
@Suzanne: Dr. Jonathan Woodcock testified the gunman was insane. Here's more: bit.ly -
-
@ Amy Guilty and Insane is an oxymoron in our legal system. Jimmy has 2 choices, locked up in a mental hospital if he's found NGBROI, or Execution. As an aside - when they selected the jury, you can guarantee that if you weren't open to the death penalty, you would not be on the jury... everyone in the jury pool is open to that outcome. -
@Suzanne He said Holmes was so delusional and psychotic as a result of deep-seeded mental illness that he was unable to tell right from wrong when he opened fire on the theater — Colorado’s standard for an insanity verdict.
-
Dr. Wintraub sounds like he's been on the witness stand a time or two.
-
Dr. Weintraub said the gunman told him he saw shadows that made him afraid.

Dr. Weintraub on the gunman: "It was hard to follow his train of thought." - Quote

Dr. Weintraub felt the gunman began to improve but said, "I still felt he was sufficiently psychotic that I didn't want to move him [to a jail.]" - Quote

jh, hmmmmm.... another Doc to manipulate....... Kind of hard on these drugs though.....
-
@Mark--Even if found guilty of 1st degree murder, I think the jury will still have sentencing options later on. Although the PT will recommend the death penalty (which I personally agree with) I believe the jury could still vote for life without parole, or possibly even life with possibility of parole. I believe that the DT also argued strongly that the jury should be presented with other guilt-phase choices, such as 2nd degree murder and even manslaughter. Pretty ridiculous (IMO) but that's what they argued....
-
Dr. Winetraub: Gunman could have had a psychiatric episode triggered by a traumatic experience in jail, or it could have been an underlying condition.
-
@Ruby I agree but I also thought the same with Dr. Woodcock or what ever his name from last week :)
-
So here's a question.... A serious one I'm. It asking in jest..... Could the realization of the crime he just committed and coming to terms with that cause a psychosis? Are we limited to believing he had these issues weeks or months before the massacre or could it reasonably be believed that the realization of his actions caused him to snap?

This guy is not another Woodcock--I think Brauchler will handle him differently.

Wow really can't believe that someone would have voted for Dr. Woodcock... sorry just my opinion
-
15 to 20 minutesw? REALLY? and the DT presents this? lost your mind King.
-
Wow...boom...that's a very limited time to review records and then put your testimony as insanity.
-
Wow! This doctor only was with JH for 15 to 25 minutes??? That sounds crazy to be able to diagnose someone in that short of time.
-
At least this doctor isn't saying "I don't recall that...." As much as Dr. Woodcock.
He at least prepared. -
@Anica - we need another option - neither. I originally thought Dr Winetraub, but not now after 15-25 minutes.
-
How can this doctor not admit that the shooting was not a stresser!
-
This doctor is much more forthcoming and straightforward than Woodcock....Mr. Brauchler isn't going ballistic because he is mostly getting direct answers to his questions.
-
This doc walked right into Brauchler and an event. Nice pick up on Brauchler's part. -
I wish the jury would ask about the length of time the doctor has spent with JH.
-
-
Question about shooting being a big "traumatic event was a good question in my book!!

-
- New Witness
Defense calls David Thailing, a detective with the Aurora Police Department. - New Witness
-
-
APD Det. Thailing was called to meet with Det. Craig Appel and the gunman. Gunman was in an interview room at the police station.
-
A detective being called for the defense? This is interesting... -
Defense has 4 hours of video they want to introduce later.
-
-
This detective is a defense witness only to provide linkage with some video that the DT thinks is helpful to their insanity case.
