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

The rest of the note said "because I want to keep it under my pillow". Weird. -

#luce - I agree completely. I'm a Colorado native and am astonished about some of the opinions and eagerness to execute someone... You think they would be more somber about the tragedy rather than pointing out stupid things. -
Insane is "weird" so stay with the context and gravity of the case!
-
People have morbid curiosity. That's why they tore down the house in Cleveland where 3 ladies were imprisoned for 10 years! People were driving by it taking pictures.

Defense calls John Henderson, criminal investigator with the Colorado Attorney General's Office. Formerly worked with the FBI and Homeland Security. - New Witness
-
IMO defense is getting a lot of hearsay evidence admitted.
-
which pt witness was it that wouldn't answer any of the dt's questions and refused their calls and whatnot?
-
-
We have a troll posting under my name, just fyi :)

-
Can we get some background music? Life should always have good background music.
-
If they want to know what this homeland security guy asked someone else, get him here.
-

-
What ARE the rules about notetaking, can they copy verbatim or will they depend on court transcripts during deliberation?- and do they get to take them home each day?
-
-
why would anyone want to impersonate ME ?
-
Why is the DT laughing while he's questioning the nurse? So weird.
-
Reason #237 I'd make a horrible lawyer.... After the first 15 minutes of this I'd say forget it, I withdraw the objection I don't care anymore.
-
Not exactly what I would call a bench clearing brawl......
-
-
malingering or not, there is no way I could sit as still, quiet and expressionless as JH does. Look at him. No way could I do that for 7-8 hours with only slightly twirling my chair at times...
-
-
I'm sure this is a setup to make the hours-long video of JH sitting in his cell seem interesting.
-
Dear Other Mark: Come up with a relevant comment and I will post it.
-
Deputy Henderson confirmed a CU professor told him the gunman didn't interact much with other students or say much in class and was generally awkward.
-
-
-
Surprised that the bench conference is still going on. Stepped away from the video for a long time, and just came back to this feed and the conference is still going on. Is today like one of those boring days?
-
it appears miss tish-maguire is enjoying her flirt time with detective
-
This is why I'm surprised there is an attorney on the jury. Almost never happens. Must not be a criminal attorney.
-
- New Witness
Defense calls Arapahoe County Deputy Tom Triska. Triska helped transport the gunman to court on July 23, 2012. - New Witness

I wonder if the DT knows about this blog and reads it...if I were them, I'd have somebody monitoring it constantly...you have to figure we,collectively, are as good a cross section of society as the jury and this kind of empirical data as to how they're doing might be invaluable :)

-
OK. I work with lots and lots of engineers. 90% of them have these personality traits.
-
-
Thanks for catching that, Victoria. You are correct.
-
So now the defense is impeaching the PT's witnesses???
-
I can see King calling the 2 officers in the courtroom to the stand "have you noticed anything unusual about Mr. Holmes as he sits in this courtroom? Were you observing him?"
