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

Having contacts in for days will make you sleeping and want to close your eyes -

ANYONE can become psychotic from enough lack of sleep -
-
I wouldn't want to get into a serious argument with Ormond. He seems like he could Hulk out and just rip your head off at times...
-
-
im confused, was the jury not watching this video? I had to leave for the last hour.
-
Hmmmmm...maybe the defense tactic is to put enough jurors to sleep thus creating a mistrial and forcing the DA to offer LWOP rather than spending another several millions retrying the case :)
-
Ormond must have a Basset Hound at home that he forgot to feed this morning. Second reference.

in case anyone is looking, the video being shown in court is on youtube with full audio
search "james holmes court appearance". it's about 10 minutes long -
3rd qtr stats, 17 objections: 4 over rules @24% 13 sustained @ 76% DT taking a beat down once again.

I still keep thinking about Bob's comment earlier which pretty much sums it up for me about his sanity...Dr. Reid said that a psychotic break can happen at any time but they are not pre-planned...yet JH put on his calendar at home the symbol ahead of time on the shooting date! That has not left my mind all day!
-
-
Unless the DT can get / hire a witness that will actually say "Yes, JH meets the criteria for legal insanity" I think (hope) the jury is smart enough to come back with a guilty verdict. I'm still not 100% on the sentencing options, but the death penalty is looking like a very likely outcome unless the DT has and ace in the hole we don't know about.
-
Well everyone, I'm on eastern time and need to head home for the day. First day here, but will definitely be back tomorrow. See you guys then.
As Mr. King would say, "Please, um...excuse me while I....I will return...um...swordfish! HA HA" -
-
Did she just say that he was licking the walls?!?!? MMMmmm, the snozberries taste like snozberries.
-
"We had to take him out of the room because it had become inhabitable and it and he were covered in feces." Go get 'im, girls.
-
BTW an I LOVE me jacket is AKA a straight jackect not used much any more.
-
"The room was full of feces, and so was he" understatement of the day...
-
Afternoon break... this is a replay of previous testimony. -
Was searching for the video with sound and just watched an interesting version of it with commentary by Diane Sawyer and Dan Abrhams. So interesting so hear their comments at that time given what we know now.
-
- New Witness
Defense calls Patrick Herr. He was a paramedic for Action Care Ambulance in 2012. - New Witness
-
Herr said when he arrived the gunman had on a suicide vest and underneath that he was wearing some sort of flack jacket.
-
- Quote
"He smiled and did not respond verbally... it was a large smile with teeth showing... very wide," Herr said about meeting the gunman. - Quote
-
-
So key thing.... he was doing it to himself? hmmmm, not eating not drinking..... Planned.
-
take a drink of water why does he have cotton mouth. You seemed parched
-
seems that DT has made a point of witnesses repeating "flat affect"
-
Herr said he went with the gunman into Denver Health. He was still repeating "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" occasionally when they arrived.
-
Herr said the gunman did make eye contact with him.
-
Herr said he saw a hematoma on the gunman's forehead - a bruise.
Herr said it was raised - which is not what the other paramedic (Leadem) said. -
How many times do we have to hear about November? He did not eat and drink because he knew they would take him to hospital he is smart and wanted to get out of jail for a few days to see what else he may need to do for his insanity case.
-
Well, the swelling has gone down...see ya'll tomorrow.
-
Wow I can't believe JH had so many events in jail....Oh wait this is the same event just told over and over again
