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
@cp- I agree with you. But even if he had mental illness, how will DT connect that with not knowing right from wrong at time of shooting. Clearly he knew right from wrong on a daily basis or else he would have been institutionalized or incarcerated sooner. What happened on that day?? will we ever get there???
@7news - In this case the PT and DT are both paid by the state of CO, (taxpayers). Why does it seem to us (on this chat) that the PT is so much better than the DT?
I think the defense will state that JH was looking up these web sites to see what was wrong with him as in a cry for help and will then lay the blame on Fenton and Weinstin? for JH shooting up the theatre.imo
