Aurora theater shooting trial day 31: Judge could decide whether to dismiss a juror whose relative was shot

Day 31 in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. Today, the judge could decide to dismiss a juror whose relative was shot last week. 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, Colo., 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 might add, I'm liking this Judge.

Thanks, Phil!

- New Witness
Prosecution calls Carla Rodriguez, manager at Gander Mountain.

Sorry, I'm a bit behind as I had to pause the video. The cumulative thing makes sense, but the constant interruptions by DT bugs. That's all.

by McGruber 6/15/2015 5:17:33 PM
Have they said why Holmes lived on the third floor?

by Sally Mander 6/15/2015 5:17:35 PM
@Sally - Is there a significance to why JH lived on the 3rd floor that we are not aware?

by Brandi 6/15/2015 5:19:06 PM
I was going to say that the comfort dog they have had there for the victims most days is a Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever mix. She is a female named Pella. She really is beautiful and gentle. It is very soothing to spend a few minutes with her.

by Sherrie H. 6/15/2015 5:23:25 PM
He said he lived on the third floor because there were fewer people around. More secluded.

by Sherrie H. 6/15/2015 5:23:28 PM
@Brandi- not sure. Just wanted to know if anyone else knew why.

by Sally Mander 6/15/2015 5:23:30 PM
The testimony of the bldg manager had more insight for the 3rd floor placement of him, if you can find that she did say something but i cant remeber it

by JG 6/15/2015 5:28:47 PM
@sally the landlord said that he wanted something on the 2nd floor, but it wasn't available at the time. he just took what was available.

by sydnijmm 6/15/2015 5:28:52 PM
too may objections today !!!!!!

by wendy 6/15/2015 5:28:54 PM
Focus got better.

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 5:33:27 PM
I agree, way too many objections!

by Marcy Scala 6/15/2015 5:33:28 PM
DT trying to keep out records of JH buying the guns? Getting on judge's nerves...

by mandi 6/15/2015 5:39:34 PM
I've stepped out for some time while they had the very very long conversation at the bench and came back for Nelson asking for another bench conference. Good Grief DT. It drives me crazy with the amount of time DT is wasting. Now, I read they are objecting a lot. The DT is very desperate. I think they are pulling out all punches.

by Suzanne 6/15/2015 5:39:39 PM
This still the lady from Gander Mountain?

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 5:39:42 PM
perhaps they should get orman a bed ! he lays back so far in his chair - nobody can get by him - and he doesn't move voluntarily - they have to push his chair up !!!!

by wendy 6/15/2015 5:39:46 PM
*wishing I had captions with the court feed*

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 5:39:48 PM
Why are they at the judge's bench now, what's the hold up?

by LG 6/15/2015 5:44:09 PM
@Tammy - LOL and I wish I had a Big Mac and some fries! ;)

by Sally Mander 6/15/2015 5:44:11 PM
Carla Rodriguez, manager at Gander Mountain, identifies security video from the store.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 5:44:39 PM
Super behind today.. anything crazy happen?

by Morgan 6/15/2015 5:47:02 PM
not sure why DT won't stipulate that JH bought the gun from Gander - just being a pain...

by mandi 6/15/2015 5:47:04 PM
Prosecution looking for photo, believes it has already been introduced to evidence.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 5:48:07 PM
Defense requests another bench conference.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 5:48:17 PM
Other than the Warbler, there isn't a lot of color in the court room today.

by Mark 6/15/2015 5:53:00 PM
OMG DT stop playing today this is annoying!!

by LG 6/15/2015 5:53:01 PM
What's the big deal about getting the gun and where he got it from?

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 5:53:03 PM
I bet these jurors that have been released are happy to be done with this! I wonder if they will join this chat.

by Suzanne 6/15/2015 5:53:05 PM
anica, do we know what the photo contains?

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 5:53:11 PM
Maybe the defense is trying to delay the prosecution team's completion date so the judge gets pissed off at the PT

by Marcy Scala 6/15/2015 5:53:43 PM
Gunman spent $647.99 on order from Gander Mountain. He used a Mastercard to buy a black glock.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 5:53:52 PM
These defense team wastes so much court time today,definitely stalling

by ms 6/15/2015 5:54:51 PM
- Objection
Defense objects, wants testimony about surveillance tape stricken from record - claims they received no information that the prosecution would question Rodriguez about security video.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 5:58:31 PM
JH didn't have the best shopping skills, he way overpaid for that glock.

by Mark 6/15/2015 5:58:32 PM
@Mark...AND he bought a warranty!

by DocJ 6/15/2015 5:59:42 PM
Judge Carlos Samour will consider striking comments about security video.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 5:59:46 PM
@Suzanne I don't think the jury's that were dismissed are allowed to talk about the case in any format still, can someone advise that might know better?

by LG 6/15/2015 5:59:47 PM
@LG The dismissed jurors can't speak about the case to anyone until it is over.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 6:00:15 PM
Well, PT is not ready today....This guy, bugs me. He's not prepared, after having a long weekend to boot.
