When testimony begins Wednesday morning in the trial of James Holmes, a former FBI agent will return to the stand to discuss the evidence collected from trash outside the apartment building at 1690 Paris St.

I meant "NOT sane" in my previous post.

Mental illness is a hard topic, so I want to be sensitive. But if you do crimes to hurt other people I don't want them out in the world. I don't see the need for the death penalty, but life without parole in a security mental institute would make me feel safe. It is just sad when people claim mental illness or insanity and go to a hospital for how many years, then get out. Who will know if they continue any medication.

the apartment has a lot of traps

@NebraskaProCaPunishment
Is it True Ernie Chambers is your here? LOL!!!

by NT8 5/13/2015 3:44:19 PM
@FMM: I'm not arguing with you because I fully believe he was insane at the time as well. I don't think he was in his right mind or else things would've been planned better and there probably would've been a lot more damage done.

medicatoin cannot control the outcome of an ill nees

by abbie.luber 5/13/2015 3:45:04 PM
Medication can control illness. That's kind of the point of medication.

Ernie Chambers is a joke. Just another man trying to be bigger than the state. Leader? No.

@ Suzanne If found insane at the time of the crime the Defendant will go to a mental hospital which can release Him any time they choose too.

Going to take an early morning break

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 3:48:15 PM
Oh ok, Abrandt cleared that up for me.

by KP 5/13/2015 3:51:41 PM
I am not positive, but I think when they are decided insane try are put in a hospital for the rest of their lives.. In cases like this at least.

by KP 5/13/2015 3:51:42 PM
yes but it dosent work for everyone

Can you fix Tylers audio? Cut the background noise?

by NT8 5/13/2015 4:09:48 PM
I think he believed he would get away with it because his apartment was supposed to be blown up. Giving the timing of the loud music and hoping someone would set it to blow up . It would take a day or two to see he wasn't in his apartment.

by Suzanne 5/13/2015 4:10:07 PM
@S33 I don't have a doubt that he isn't mentally ill. I was just making an assumption as what is going through his mind. I could be wrong. But I don't believe that everyone who murders has a mental illness.

Jury brought back in after (extra early) morning recess

WOW, Samour must be reading comments on here from Yesterday!!!

by NT8 5/13/2015 4:10:24 PM
I noticed a lot on the defense side them not standing up to speak.

by Angela Freeman 5/13/2015 4:10:28 PM
@JJ I know but if you read up in Psychology. Henry Beecher is pretty much the first one to start the placebo effect because during WWII the medics were running out of morphine so he gave wounded soldiers a saline solution and about 40% of those soldiers said that "morphine" eased their pain. So again it depends on the person and their mentality. This is why doctors and scientists keep doing experiments with the placebos. Instead of saline they also use a sugar substance or distilled water.

by Joey 5/13/2015 4:10:35 PM
@NT8 why do you say that?

by Joey 5/13/2015 4:11:29 PM
@Joey My degree is in psychology, but thank you.

by jj1114 5/13/2015 4:11:29 PM
@Angela, I believe we were told that the judge would rather people speak clearly into the microphone than stand to address him.

by jj1114 5/13/2015 4:12:18 PM
Welcome. I am just stating facts. I also have psychology under my belt.

by Joey 5/13/2015 4:12:43 PM
Does anyone know why his attorneys do not speak to him? If he is competent to stand trial, he is competent enough to participate. It doesn't make sense to me that he doesn't say a word.

by Sue 5/13/2015 4:12:45 PM
@Joey, Samour just chastised the lawyers for not standing up to address him! That was a hot topic on here the last couple days.

by NT8 5/13/2015 4:12:46 PM
@JJ - I dunno. That may be so, but he just requested that people stand up when speaking.

The people call William Sather, faculty member at CU school of medicine

AC360 time!

Sather: PhD, research science, runs a research lab

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 4:13:50 PM
@NT8 Oh ok!

by Joey 5/13/2015 4:14:35 PM
@Sue - He is not obligated to testify. As for other communications, I'm sure they speak a lot outside the courtroom.

by Angela Freeman 5/13/2015 4:14:36 PM
@Sue: Dan talks to James every now and then, but it's easily missed because it's usually short.

by S33 5/13/2015 4:14:37 PM
Sather: Is in pharmacology and neurology depts.

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 4:15:21 PM
S33: Thanks. I haven't seen it at all so thought it was unusual. I didn't like the idea that he is ignored so good to know someone is speaking to him.

by Sue 5/13/2015 4:15:59 PM
Sather: Directs required neruoscience program class

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 4:16:27 PM
Sather: Also on curriculum committee

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 4:16:38 PM
Sather: confirms defendant was in his course

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 4:17:50 PM
@Sue, he's not being ignored. It's been reported that the DT does speak to him during breaks, just not during the trial.

They want him to look insane and detached from reality.

by Joey 5/13/2015 4:19:23 PM
Is there a close up of the theater model anywhere to look at?
