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

It's cool Resa.. people often choose a weapon based on their most commonly perceived threat. a 12 gauge handles more than 4 legged threats quite well as it is extremely versatile depending on how you load it, etc. If I could only have 1, that would probably be it. Pick the right tool for the job if possible... goes for anything.

by Mark 6/15/2015 9:47:45 PM
OK... not approving a couple comments... keep it polite and on topic, please.

- Judge's Order
Judge agrees to allow jail video.
Defense requests bench conference.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 9:49:50 PM
Thank you for keeping it civil and on topic, Anica.

Why always at the bench? She is frustrating me. some discussions do not have to always be at the bench

by Sheri Reining 6/15/2015 9:52:53 PM
Did Holmes have a tv or did he just have a computer?

by Sally Mander 6/15/2015 9:52:57 PM
bet the store clerk is thinking.... 5 more minutes --- seems much longer!!

by mandi 6/15/2015 9:53:00 PM
The Judge says things twice sometimes 3 times

by Chipper 6/15/2015 9:53:03 PM
The jury has returned to court. Store clerk finally gets to finish testifying!

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 9:53:51 PM
I'm sure this opinion poll has already been published by @7news, but i am curious what most people believe to have been the most supportive evidence for the prosecution to bring a Guilty verdict into the jurors eyes. I'd have to say Dr. Ried + video interview + notebook

by FRIPPO 6/15/2015 9:54:43 PM
- Objection
Defense objection - speculation by store clerk.
Judge clarifies rules.

by debitwo 6/15/2015 9:57:35 PM
- New Witness
Prosecution calls Angela Pella, Operations Manager at Bass Pro Shops.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 9:58:08 PM
@7News; You have a heart available for "likes" perhaps we could get a symbol for a "dislike" comment.

by Stephany 6/15/2015 9:58:09 PM
Can't help you with that Stephany, but you can borrow my stamp.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 9:59:19 PM
another pointless witness IMHO

by NT8 6/15/2015 9:59:32 PM
Jewel: When I use the google chrome web browser & attempt to comment my feed freezes over & over. It seems to work ok with windows internet explorer

by Marcy Scala 6/15/2015 9:59:36 PM
@FRIPPO - agree!

by texas 6/15/2015 9:59:37 PM
Gunman purchased a Remington 870 shotgun, some ammo, other items at the Bass Pro Shop in Northfield/Stapleton on May 28, 2012.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 10:01:12 PM
Hahahaha! Love it Anica! I need one of those!

by Tammy 6/15/2015 10:01:14 PM
@ Anica, I want one! Love it!

by Suzanne 6/15/2015 10:01:15 PM
DT doesn't want the video of him buy the guns shown because they are afraid it will show he did it with sound mind when they are trying to say he wasn't of sound mind when he did this horrible act... imo

by LG 6/15/2015 10:05:12 PM
click that pen!!! LOL

by JBS 6/15/2015 10:05:21 PM
would you say it was a thought out decision by JH to not buy the shot gun at the same store as the AR, or was he just shopping for the best deal...

by FRIPPO 6/15/2015 10:05:26 PM
jH chair going to break if he doesn't ease up on the swivel

by Tjq 6/15/2015 10:07:09 PM
He may have had a max transaction dollar amount per day and the different stores / days was a logistical decision.

by Mark 6/15/2015 10:07:18 PM
@Mark that's possible!

by Tjq 6/15/2015 10:08:38 PM
I'm streaming this trial throughout the day at work; however, I'm unable to catch everything. That said, is there a full daily testimony (not video) that I can access to read up on the trial at my leisure? Thank you in advance.

by Nadine 6/15/2015 10:09:03 PM
@Nadine: Here is a link to our daily archives: bit.ly

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 10:09:33 PM
Again... did Holmes have a tv or did he just have a computer? Trying to get caught up here....

by Sally Mander 6/15/2015 10:09:36 PM
@SallyMander: I don't know the answer.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 10:09:46 PM
hmm - mastercard was maxed out on May 28 -- had to use his visa

by mandi 6/15/2015 10:09:55 PM
really again!!!

by Sheri Reining 6/15/2015 10:09:58 PM
I thought the first siting of JH orange hair was July 1, 2012, at Gander purchasing a weapon. This testimony and surveillance video is clearly before that on May 22 and 28, 2012.

by Kristle 6/15/2015 10:11:52 PM
@Kristle: His landlord saw him with orange hair on June 29, but he could have dyed it earlier.

by anica.padilla 6/15/2015 10:13:20 PM
@Frippo: or you could argue that he was trying to demonstrate paranoia by purchasing all his guns at different stores....and I say "demonstrate paranoia" because he researched mental illness and now needed to display some.

by Stephany 6/15/2015 10:13:24 PM
Would like to see a psychoanalysis of incessant chair swiveling....a subconscious attempt to escape all of this by screwing himself into the ground?

by Sally Mander 6/15/2015 10:13:37 PM
My cc company would question this charge amt.

by Tjq 6/15/2015 10:13:39 PM
Sometimes a card will decline for security reasons if it's a high dollar amount and not a typical purchase

by Abrandt 6/15/2015 10:13:44 PM
@anica - I was hoping for something other than the daily blog.

by Nadine 6/15/2015 10:13:48 PM
@nadine - the denver post has an excellent written summary that I like to read in addition to what 7news posts.

by Ann 6/15/2015 10:13:59 PM
Like it really matters how he got the weapons? You have lost your minds.
