Aurora movie theater shooting trial day 41: Defense expected to call more doctors who treated James Holmes
Day 41 in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. Today, the defense is expected to call more doctors who treated the gunman. 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

What is up with the Orman Twins today?? Did one of them spill juice down their matching coat or something?

Basically, it is obvious to me at least, that JH decided to follow through on something that he had wanted to do for a very long time, kill people, and so he has a lack of impulse control, and there are a lot of personality disorders, i.e., bipolar, borderline personality disorder, etc., that have these as qualities of those types of disorders. However, once he realized he was in deep do-do, he began playing up the whole "I'm insane defense" and started acting these things out. Did he have a psychotic break, probably, maybe, who knows, there is absolutely no way to know because he didn't have a brain scan at the time he did the deed. Therefore, there is absolutely no way to prove one way or the other whether at the time of the deed he was truly insane. His behavior in November, has nothing to do with what happened in July 2012. It is obvious that he is mentally ill, I don't buy the whole INSANITY defense, although I do understand that they are attempting to save his life, from the death penalty. JH is not insane, he is simply very mentally ill, and unfortunately we cannot force people to get into counseling and get help, and these types of people, with high levels of intelligence, are the most difficult to get into counseling, and to stay in counseling, as well as to take their meds and continue to stay on them, because these people believe their own personal knowledge is better than anything anyone else could possible know or tell them to do, they are extremely difficult people to deal with, because they believe they know best, in all circumstances.

Could you speak right into the microphone please Judge Samour?

Anyone think that JH is smiling on the inside that his intelligence and IQ is being talked about as being HIGH? -

First time I have flat out disagreed with the Judge. If the jury is to assess credibility and they can believe all, some or none of what the expert says; then they have every right to assess the basis for the opinions...the actual questions and answers...JM2CYMMV
-
Drum roll please........who wins? DT or PT on admittance of the test results?
-
As long as the jury gets to see the test questions during deliberations phase, they can draw their own conclusions.
-
That just doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I bow out to the Judge who is far more knowledgeable about the law. -
-
Since when do trade secrets trump the Constitution? If, and I say IF, a fair trial demands that trade secrets be revealed...oh well...shut off the feed and seal the transcripts but the Constitution has to win!
-
so the jury will not see the test or hear the questions. just the score? am i understanding this right?
-
I am going to bow the wisdom of the jury. Are they more likely to listen to Dr. Reid or any other doctor or take a T/F output from a SCANTRON or look at a mood ring color?
-
Since we're not on the jury, something I wanted to share with you: www.nytimes.com
-
While I can't get over how horrible the crime was at the center of this trial, does anyone else find it funny that JH's chair is so much crappier than everybody elses in the court room

i'm starting to think trolls are having conversations with themselves, using different names.

Prosecution is cross-examining Det. Gordon Madonna, a digital forensic examiner with the Aurora Police Department.

My comment was not right! Hope you all can read it well lol and get the meaning

The funny thing about personality profiles, they change, depending on where you are at on any given day! The guy is extremely mentally ill, he is not by any means INSANE, end of story.
-
APD Det. Madonna said the gunman searched "mental illness" and "delirium" on the Internet -- 7 months before the shooting.

The First Battleship of the day is taking serious hits again, Damage control efforts will be starting soon. -
-
-
APD Det. Madonna said the gunman also searched "grandiose illusions" and "megalomania."
-
-
-
I would like to have Dr. Reid back on the stand so I could ask him if a person can fake a psychosis and delirium to this extent because it's sure sounding researched and planned - all of it.

Heavy Port list on the Battleship, down by the stern, losing propulsion.......

Any professor will tell you that wiki is no reliable. So as smart as this person has made himself out to be. He in fact did premedicated offenses putting people off guard in order to save himself if caught.
