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

Seems that the conversation in the gchats so far seems like a regular, normal conversation. Actually, very tame when compared to the conversation of texts I've seen of my sons.

@tammy They do seem normal... up until about March 25.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 6:28:19 PM
Of course, I haven't read them all.

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 6:29:29 PM
Wow...killing people to me is not a tame or normal conversation in my book

by LG 6/15/2015 6:29:31 PM
I haven't gotten that far, LG. I'm still back at end of January/first of February.

Quotes from chats:
Gargi: even if you go postal, whats it worth? what do you gain?
Gunman: There's no way to do it and not get caught but the only way justice can be served is by taking away your time or life
Gargi: why do you care so much about justise (sic)?
Gunman: If you wait to kill until the end of your life, than there is nothing to lose

IMO, JH seems selfish in the majority of his gchats with ms. datta. It is as if he is trying to make an attempt at flirtation - playing the bad boy game - but just doesnt quite get it.

Court is at lunch - comments will be updated/approved at about 1:15 p.m.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:11:31 PM
Hello all. Out running errands ALL morning. Such a busy news day. @MsMandi you out there?? Any decision on the Vandy rape trial??

by mama d 6/15/2015 7:11:38 PM
Hi Everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I know I'm late, but I'm starting to catch up.

by EZ 6/15/2015 7:11:47 PM
@EZ Welcome. Hope our updates are helpful!

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:14:22 PM
@justice... if you've ever been on a jury your informed you have to go by the evidence and not emotion... that's been proven to happen in past cases that were big news events like this one even though public opinion was guilty they weren't found guilty in court... Examples: Casey Anthony & OJ Simpson

by LG 6/15/2015 7:14:29 PM
You know...I am now more acutely aware than ever that there is a vast difference between the frustrated, exasperated comment "I could just kill someone" and chatting about actually doing so with your SO in detail!!

Half time Stats, 24 Objections, 8 Over Rides @33% 15 Sustained @ @63% 1 Objection still waiting on the judge.

by NT8 6/15/2015 7:28:50 PM
Were there no more gchats after March 25?

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 7:28:58 PM
@TammyGarrison: The records released so far end at March 25. I'm not sure whether there will be more.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:29:41 PM
Good afternoon everyone! Wasn't able to be here this morning - anything crucial that I missed?? I see Juror 901 was dismissed....

by MsMandi 6/15/2015 7:29:44 PM
LG, can't understand how there wasn't enough evidence in either of those cases without the emotional response.

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 7:29:49 PM
So do we know who is on the agenda to testify this afternoon?

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 7:29:57 PM
Is court live? I can't seem to get off the replays.

by Suzanne 6/15/2015 7:29:59 PM
Court is resuming now.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:30:20 PM
Prosecution would like the judge to advice the jury that emails in Evidence #1227 have been admitted with redactions. The jury will be instructed not to draw any inferences from the redactions.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:32:30 PM
@Tammy I don't know either but just sharing how it can happen...

by LG 6/15/2015 7:33:55 PM
Suzanne, when mine's like that, I have to refresh it.

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 7:33:56 PM
What is number #1227?

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 7:35:28 PM
@TammyGarrison: More email.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:35:45 PM
- Judge's Order
Testimony about security video at Gander Mountain has been stricken from the record.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:36:22 PM
- New Witness
Prosecution calls Andrew Barborak, manager of loss prevention for Gander Mountain (chain of sporting goods stores.)

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:37:25 PM
Well, that sucks.

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 7:37:29 PM
Whoa wheres the PT at? Late lunch?

by Tired 6/15/2015 7:37:33 PM
Wonder what it was about the security camera video.

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 7:39:23 PM
What is Loss Prevention?

by Tammy Garrison 6/15/2015 7:47:32 PM
Me too Tammy

by Marcy Scala 6/15/2015 7:47:34 PM
Oh em gee she has seen these things in discovery. What is her freakin' problem today?

by Lori Butterfield 6/15/2015 7:47:35 PM
He must hate his job right now....

by Tired 6/15/2015 7:47:37 PM
@TammyGarrison: Generally loss prevention involves security and surveillance to stop theft.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:48:04 PM
Barborak said the gunman made a purchase at Gander Mountain on July 1. He bought a scope.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:50:32 PM
According to testimony from ATF Agent Steven Beggs, the gunman had already dyed his hair orange when he bought the scope at the Gander Mountain store.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:54:18 PM
I'm working and listening, but who keeps clicking their pen. It's driving me crazy. I realize that is a short road trip, but stop please. ; )

by Suzanne 6/15/2015 7:54:22 PM
LP involves shrink(loss of product through theft internal and external, inventory integrity dealing with item on-hand discrepancies etc) as well as usually involved with company safety as it pertains to customers and associates

by JG 6/15/2015 7:54:24 PM
Everytime a new message appears, the blog "clicks"

by lildeuce32 6/15/2015 7:57:21 PM
@Anica that's interesting about him changing his hair color that far back... @Suzanne I don't hear a pen clicking :(

by LG 6/15/2015 7:57:22 PM
We have a very detailed timeline of the gunman's purchases and activities leading up to the shooting. Check it out here: bit.ly

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 7:57:55 PM
The PT that is doing the questioning is clicking his pen- he's been doing it for weeks, every time he's at the podium.

by Victoria 6/15/2015 8:00:27 PM
Ha...@Suzanne someone mentioned last week that Mr. Edsel (sp?) clicks his pen while he questions witnesses. I don't hear it but I guess they were right. :-)
