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

I hope he has really hairy arms.....like Robin Williams had....I hope it hurt like Charles Dickens when they took the tape off, and I hope they ripped them off. -
all I know is if I wanted people to think I was crazy... (excuse me.... "insane") I could.
-
-
This is nothing compared to Jodie Arias..she went through the garbage can, tried to unscrew the plug in, un plugged the fax machine , started talking to herself , sang a song and then did a head stand..
-
-
Right on Saira. I could make people believe I was insane. Right now, my imaginary friend and I are talking...
-
-
I think he is making noise in sync with the music he is playing in his head. This is the music that played in his ears while he mass murdered 12 and wounded over 72+ people.
-
wow...all that noise could make feel like I'm losing my mind...
-
Is this the techno-beat drumming that Mr. Orman was talking about yesterday?
-
@anica Padilla it's only low quality to the viewers. Not the courtroom. It's a shame they didn't allow more cameras in the court room so you can see different angles.
-
Holmes might be saying now, "I was bored before but now I have two new paper playtoys!"
-
-
Crazy isn't the same as insane I don't think. That brought to mind the song I've always been crazy but it keeps me from going insane lol
-
You'd think with all the money we spend on law enforcement in this country the very least they could do is have razor sharp video images available...sheeeshhhhh

This is going to drive everyone insane! Exactly what the Defense wants.
-
What is the point to leave him alone in this room? Give that boy an Ativan, IV push, quick !
-
Those poor jurors.. I can turn my audio down while they have to endure it. Hope it's less annoying in person.
-
How does this prove he is crazy? I just see a really bored kid...... -
my bf is a drummer and is constantly "tapping out tunes"... hmmmm -
The 8th Amendment should protect the jurors from this cruel and unusual punishment!
-
-
-
One by one, I see reasonable people drop off this forum…people who are paying attention, giving the process its due…people trying to understand and make sense of this...and then there are the rest. The sarcastics and the psychics.
-
The DT wants the jury to hear him say the bags on his hands were for popcorn. I think King May have mentioned that in his opening statement, but not sure.
-
someone asked earlier what the legal definition of insanity is in Colorado. I did a Google search the other day and found this site. It's from 2013, but talks about the case and provides the definition: www.psychlawjournal.com
-
Officers were notifying the families at this time that their loved one had been murdered.
-
I have this on mute until this footage is over. I'm guessing this will continue tomorrow. A person playing with bags wrapped on their arms like they are puppets doesn't make one insane, it's just to kill the time until he's moved to his cell or wherever he gets taken next. He's just bored in there.
-
I hear police scanner traffic... I really hope he wasn't able to hear the huge response his attack required. -
-
The paper bags rustling around is the noise but it sounds like he's trying to make music.
-
Sorry, my link didn't come through completely last time. Definition of insanity in Colorado. If the full url doesn't come through again, I'm sure someone at 7 news will be able to provide that info.

Overheard on the police radio: "One of my guys had a car that was full of blood already..."
-
Those voices he heard through the walls? I hear 'em too....sounds like police radio dispatch.
-
Okay, the link I'm trying to share isn't coming through completely. sorry everyone.
-
police radio: documentation of the photos of the backs of police cars... JH can hear all this too
-
Survivors were in hospitals screaming in pain while he's making techno music out of the bags. It could be construed as his way of blocking out what he did too.
-
-
-
why can we hear the police radios? They aren't in the room with him. Where is that coming from?
-
wonder what effect that/if any has on jury - hearing the police radio. Maybe DT should have thought about that....
