Bradders, are you a mental health clinician?

by Sue 5/13/2015 10:31:42 PM
@Sue - No I'm not but I have been doing alot of research since the shooting happened and I also have my own experiences of dealings with people with mental illness.

by BraddersCentric 5/13/2015 10:35:26 PM
Spengler is taking a beating in objections this afternoon. Shame she was doing well this morning.

by NT8 5/13/2015 10:35:27 PM
Was just curious. Thanks, Bradders.

by Sue 5/13/2015 10:36:52 PM
Ok, IF I have this correct, (according to the diagrams), row 9, seat 17 was Chichi. Who was sitting with Jesse Childress. I believe the diagram was Marian Gravely? Can't quite read it.

by FMM 5/13/2015 10:37:08 PM
Continuing with impacts in row 9

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 10:38:55 PM
Jesse Childress was fatality shot.

by FMM 5/13/2015 10:38:56 PM
Most of the evidence is going to get through, that's pretty much a cert. @Sue - No problem!

by BraddersCentric 5/13/2015 10:38:58 PM
While I feel all this is important and relevant, I wish they had broken this up so it wouldn't be so monotonous. The jury must be getting very tired at this point.

by Sue 5/13/2015 10:40:00 PM
Why are they avoiding seats where people were found or killed

by UM 5/13/2015 10:42:11 PM
@UM: I'm not sure if they are or are not yet

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 10:42:33 PM
30 objections now.

by NT8 5/13/2015 10:45:17 PM
DT thumped again.

by NT8 5/13/2015 10:45:18 PM
This is all ballistics.

by NT8 5/13/2015 10:45:19 PM
Also why does there seem to be a lack of blood on the seats. everything else was covered and most of the seats seem to have little to no blood

by UM 5/13/2015 10:45:21 PM
Prosecution admitting another set of photos

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 10:45:35 PM
Now on to row 10

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 10:47:03 PM
Remember he fired shots into the ceiling, Got people motivated. So a lot of these 76 rounds did not hit people

by NT8 5/13/2015 10:47:06 PM
I think the seat they showed the bottom of WAS a seat where someone was killed. That's why they only showed the bottom on the seat. I'm thinking maybe it was Jesse Childress. I could be totally wrong though. I was pulling up the diagrams.

by FMM 5/13/2015 10:47:15 PM
@FMM Shot in the bottom of the seat, could not have been occupied. He was shooting straight or up, Not DOWN on the victims. Think about it. The seat was in the empty postition.

by NT8 5/13/2015 10:51:22 PM
DT losing me with all this. I'm perfectly capable of understanding 1 injury/fatality, let alone mass murder. Victims testimony is more compelling. IMO

by Resa 5/13/2015 10:51:29 PM
- Objection
Another 403 objection. We're going to ask our legal experts to talk about this later today

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 10:52:05 PM
we are getting awfully close to 5 p.m. here in Aurora. I wonder if the judge is going to close for the day soon.

by DocJ 5/13/2015 10:52:07 PM
I think JH knows there's a camera in the courtroom. He occasionally looks directly at it.

by Kristle 5/13/2015 11:00:02 PM
Leaving for the day. Good night people. Hopefully we can have a better day on here tomorrow.

by Joey 5/13/2015 11:00:04 PM
@Phil lol you calling it row by row is making it seem like it's taking so much longer. pointing out how slow we're actually moving

by UM 5/13/2015 11:00:06 PM
@UM: Yes, but this is important since I save these chats as our log

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 11:00:27 PM
@Phil Legal beagle explaining 402, 403, would be quite helpful.

by NT8 5/13/2015 11:00:28 PM
@FMM, That's very close to where Jesse was, same row and just seats away I think. But I do not believe that was his seat

by UM 5/13/2015 11:00:38 PM
@UM They are showing the jury all the gory stuff but they are not releasing that to the public.

by Abrandt 5/13/2015 11:00:41 PM
2 more photos objected to

by NT8 5/13/2015 11:00:44 PM
@NT8: oh yeah.......heh! SORRY! I must be looking at the diagrams wrong.

by FMM 5/13/2015 11:00:46 PM
Corrction to my last post, Prosecution Team losing me.

by Resa 5/13/2015 11:00:49 PM
another over rule

by NT8 5/13/2015 11:09:17 PM
Row 8 was hit bad, a lot of fatalities.

by Kristle 5/13/2015 11:09:18 PM
I hope that by staying a little later than usual it means they're going to plug through all this evidence to get it admitted and be done w/ this witness.

by Amy 5/13/2015 11:09:22 PM
2 more overrules.

by NT8 5/13/2015 11:09:23 PM
@Abrandt, I know, it just doesn't seem like they've mentioned it at all. like they kinda just skimmed over those

by UM 5/13/2015 11:09:24 PM
Who is the lead on the DT?

by Suzanne 5/13/2015 11:14:28 PM
@Suzanne: King and Brady

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 11:14:35 PM
Phil, is the reason Holmes is using insanity defense because he is trying to avoid the death penalty? I read somewhere that he was willing to plead guilty & take LWOP but not willing to unless the DP was taken off

by Marcy Scala 5/13/2015 11:14:47 PM
Why does it feel like Spengler is in charge?

by Suzanne 5/13/2015 11:19:41 PM
DING DING DING end of the 4th quarter. Finally.

by NT8 5/13/2015 11:19:43 PM
Now we know the objections were due to the photos containing blood

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 11:20:05 PM
Final Stats day 12 36 objections: 25 Overrules @69% 11 Sustained @ 31 %
Interesting Samour has explained the Blood stains being shown/ vs not shown. Very informative.

by NT8 5/13/2015 11:23:15 PM
@NT8: Thanks again

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 11:23:23 PM
Thanks everyone for another great day! See you again tomorrow morning

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 11:23:51 PM
@Phil Have a great night!

by Abrandt 5/13/2015 11:24:34 PM
No problem Phil, No hard feelings either. You have your job to do! I just can get bullheaded also.

by NT8 5/13/2015 11:29:39 PM
@NT8: No problem at all, you've been a great guest to have. Everyone on this chat has been fantastic
