Aurora movie theater shooting trial day 40: Defense may introduce new jail video
Day 40 in the Aurora movie 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, Colorado, 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

Good morning, Clancy! Your feedback is very helpful. I didn't even know what that one acronym was, haha...
-
So they plan to show the 6 hours of video today? Of November?

@justiceandpce - That type of comment will not be tolerated here.

It seemed very disingenuous that the defense has witnesses talk about the jail fall but not show it. In My opinion the defense is trying to make it more then it was rather then the fall on his tushie that I saw in the video.

@7News- can you ask the Legal Beagle- why they think that the DT is using so much of the November 2012 incident to make their case? -

Aurora movie theater shooting trial: Dr. Rachel Davis says James Holmes showed signs of psychosis
7NEWSDr. Rachel Davis treated the gunman in the jail hospital late the night of November 15, 2012. -

The defense wants hospital video from Nov. 19-20, 2012 admitted into evidence to give the jury an accurate picture of the gunman's mental health state after a mental break.
(A portion was played in opening statements.) -

Defense Attorney Rebekka Higgs on video from the hospital in Nov. 2012: "It's relevant for the jury to see his demeanor." - Quote

Don't remember them saying he wasn't mentally ill, just that he was legally sane.
-
It's up to the jury to decide what weight to put on the specific evidence. i just hope they don't spend a lot of time on what JH mental state was after the shooting.

hilarious how they argue like little kids. But they had a cookie so now we should get a cookie
-
I'm not sure why any video of JH should be rejected. That's as close to truth as it gets. -
The July shooting has nothing with the November incident, glad that the PT just brought that up
-
-
Who cares if he had a mental break AFTER the shooting. That doesn't have anything to do with his mental state DURING the shooting. -
-
I had asked but don't think I got a reply or at least didn't see it. How many times can someone have a mental break? Is it normal to have several???
-
Except they are of November, not the 4 months earlier at the time of the shooting.
-
-
True TammyG. Still, I'm not sure I agree with the PT on this one...JH did a terrible, terrible thing, but his life is on the line. That warrants for the jury to see and hear everything. I dunno. I just don't know how I feel about it.

Sorry, my typing apparently stinks...PA Warcher is me :rollingeyes:
