Nurse Paggen said the gunman was not able to communicate on Nov. 12, 2012 and had a blank stare... "no connection... as if you weren't there." - Quote

Nurse Paggen: "He crushed [two paper cups]... he put the sandwich meat between the two cups and was attempting to chew it." - Quote

Paggen said the gunman had to be moved to another room.
"The room was not fit to live in. It was full of feces," Paggen said. - Quote

It seems to me he was building his insanity defense in his cell.
-
Suicide lunch sack?? What's that contain? A Kevorkian Ham and Cheese?
-
If he did any of these things before the shooting I would find it relevant. But the time the defense is taking on this subject and knowing how much days they plan to continue I'm positive this is their main case.
-
Come on DA team, object on the ground that it's not relivent to his state of mind at the time of the shooting!!
-
If this is their case in chief, they are really in trouble imo
-
I see your point @bob, but before the shooting there was no reason to monitor him like this. -
Does anyone remember the movie "No Time for Sargents"? ... "Chew nails, eat dirt and throw stuff and they won't send you to the war", says Andy Griffith. Wonder if JH had seen it?
-
They are not done and all they gotta do is create reasonable doubt in one person. -
I don't understand what this has do with the shooting this is after the shooting and of course he is acting more crazy -
Paggen said when he was being transferred to the hospital: "He was totally scared. his eyes were moving around like 'What is going on here?' And he was crying."
His disposition was the same when he returned, Paggen said. -

Paggen said the gunman had been unresponsive but when the ambulance crew arrived at his cell, he got up.
"When it was time to get on the gurney... he got up and helped them get himself on the gurney," Paggen said. - Quote

I assume a suicide lunch contains things that can't be easily choked on or used to stab or cut, or suffocate. No baggies, no cutlery, no grapes...Lol.
-
I think the PT is letting this continue even though it doesn't seem to be relevant because it underscores the weakness of the DT case
-
-
"Hospital Psychosis"- a mental condition caused by the stress of a hospital stay. NOT INSANE. My brother-in-law had this while in ICU for 3 months following a car accident. Fully recoverd. JH was reacting to his solitary confinement.
-
Kings demeanor is so different now. So much chuckling and attempts at levity
-
See he just wanted out of the cell and he played them
-
Let the PT do their job people... they know what to ask to poke holes in the DT case
-
sometimes people on suicide watch are watched eating for safety
-
Can someone clarify- was JH on meds or not on meds between July 2012 and November 2012? If not- why such a delay?
-
Jail video shows Aurora movie theater shooting gunman jump or fall off bed
7NEWSThe gunman can be seen standing on his bunk and then jumping or falling backwards to the ground. -
-
Wouldn't wearing contacts and having contact solution be considered a privilege in prison?
-
-
I think these things JH did in jail can all be attributed to cabin fever
-
-
-
I wonder how he acts now a days, not right after he did what he did...
-
if JH is found insane what conditions will he live in compared to where he is living now

Jury question: "From July 2012 to November 2012 did you give the gunman any medications?"
Nurse Paggen: "Besides antibiotics, no." - Quote
-
Bingo!!!Jury gets it, no meds between July 2012 and Nov 2012

Anica, i can not get that video to play from your link, what am i doing wrong?

@PA Watcher--glad to see you back. I enjoyed your insights and comments from when I last saw you contributing to this blog. Was curious if you have some legal training?
-
jward, he's at the bottom of the screen. I think we may drive poor Phil crazy on the chat.
-
He's out of camera, toward the bottom of the screen. He stood up a couple of times earlier.
-
I've been following this trial since day 1 via nbcnews.com and youtube for parts that I missed. Just found this stream today and think I will be here for the remainder of the trial. I like the commenting option as well as there not being any lag issues with this station.

@anica, as long as you're moderating can't you just correct my mistyping? :) :)
