@proph, I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine what life has been like for you after losing a loved one so tragically, but I'm happy to hear that you're working through your fear. Baby steps and one day at a time. {{{ Hugs }}}

Actually NT8, they did tear down Sandy Hook....

@Marshall7 and the legal beagle, How about addressing the recent poll? Would enjoy hearing their views on that subject.

by NT8 5/13/2015 6:53:28 PM
@Marshall-any idea (timeframe) when the psychiatrist or notebook will be on the stand?

by Victoria 5/13/2015 6:54:25 PM
The psychiatrist could very well have done something that would have helped him and prevented this.

It is extremely hard to find mental health at all these days, especially without insurance, and depending on your diagnosis even with insurance.

by jj1114 5/13/2015 6:58:50 PM
At approx 1pm, @Marshall will have our daily discussion with a legal analyst. Any suggestions for questions to ask?

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:07:49 PM
Question; Can the Defense throw the Psychiatrist from UC under the bus by placing all the blame on her for not committing the Defendant?

by Abrandt 5/13/2015 7:12:17 PM
There are 16 movie screens there. Would you want them to tear down all of them or just theater 9? Or theater 8 too? How about 7 and 6 etc?

by Sherrie H. 5/13/2015 7:15:38 PM
Also, if a survivor is asked to be a witness for this trial, do they have to do it or can they decline to be part of this?

by proph 5/13/2015 7:15:41 PM
@proph I completely understand. I would like to go someday also. It took me a long time to see the movie also and I understand why everyone thought it was a prank at first. I didn't see it til about a year ago and I balled like a baby. :(

Juror 901 coming in to speak to the court

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:24:17 PM
Wasn't their a ticket stub for the movie Brave entered into evidence earlier? Was the date July 11th? Wondering if he was casing the theater... (Sorry I was at therapy for my son)

by Stephany 5/13/2015 7:24:18 PM
Thanks guys for making it possible to still know what's going on even when we can't watch the vid. Seriously!

by KP 5/13/2015 7:24:19 PM
@proph - either side can make someone testify even if they don't want to. If you are placed under subpoena you have a legal obligation to testify. If it's bad enough, sometimes they will classify a witness as hostile. Not sure if that has happened here though.

by NH 5/13/2015 7:24:23 PM
@Joey- I still haven't seen it, but I would like to. I've always liked Batman! Just like you, though, I'll probably cry for a lot of it. Baby steps are important, though! One day we will make it to that memorial.

by proph 5/13/2015 7:24:25 PM
I feel that the 72 hour psych hold that JH's psychiatrist was offered before she decided to turn it down could have changed the outcome of what happened. Holmes was already putting his homicidal thoughts out there to more than one doctor. So a proper psychiatric evaluation of him at that time might have revealed how ill he was and also more of what his plan was, that he was collecting together weapons etc.

by BraddersCentric 5/13/2015 7:24:28 PM
Yay! Thank you Phil and Marshall for answering my question!!

by Stephany 5/13/2015 7:24:29 PM
What do you think are going through the jurors minds?

by Joey 5/13/2015 7:24:32 PM
If a survivor is "asked" to be a witness, that means they have been given a subpoena. Once your are subpoenaed, you have no choice but to testify. I don't think they can decline in any way.

by Sherrie H. 5/13/2015 7:24:33 PM
Juror things she may have had interview with someone who is on a witness list

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:25:19 PM
Orman says they may call the special agent, may not. But confirms the agent is on the list

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:25:59 PM
Juror 901 is in seat 7. Juror says she passed the exam, and was interviewed by the special agent. Juror hasn't seen the agent since.

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:27:36 PM
@BraddersCentric: I agree completely.

by S33 5/13/2015 7:27:38 PM
Juror says this connection will not impact her ability to serve as a fair juror

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:29:57 PM
This is the first time I'm listening to audio (headphones) and I didn't realize that you ever heard the jurors' voices. That was a surprise.

by Saira 5/13/2015 7:29:58 PM
Juror says application is no longer pending

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:30:31 PM
Prosecution and defense do not request any action

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:32:36 PM
Juror 901 will remain

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:32:42 PM
Someone tell the Judge to quit ruffling through his papers....it's distracting! haha

by Stephany 5/13/2015 7:34:38 PM
What was described during the break, that you could not watch the movie again, do you consider that PTSD?

by Michelle Fletcher Carder 5/13/2015 7:34:41 PM
Does the court reporter usually stand? Because I can't remember any of the other women ever standing

by hghj 5/13/2015 7:35:04 PM
@Stephany Distracting from what? There's nothing else going on

by hghj 5/13/2015 7:36:09 PM
Does anyone know if the witnesses are under the same strict advisements as the jury?

by 1918 5/13/2015 7:36:13 PM
- New Witness
The people call Gage Hankins

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:36:15 PM
Can you possibly remove the starred remark at the top of the comments?

by MAS 5/13/2015 7:36:32 PM
Poor man has a stutter. We will have to be patient with him, just as the jury will.

Gage Hankins: Says he was with his family for FRIENDS convention (a national org for young people who stutter)

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:37:47 PM
@Phil: If the judge decided that the juror could not stay, what would then happen? Would they have to start all over?

by FMM 5/13/2015 7:38:01 PM
Poor lil Guy

by Abrandt 5/13/2015 7:38:02 PM
:( poor guy. You can tell how frustrated he is.

by Saira 5/13/2015 7:38:03 PM
@FMM: There are 12 alternates. While they don't know who is who on the jury, the judge would just move the first alternate into the seat... if that juror who left was not an alternate already

by Phil Tenser 5/13/2015 7:38:52 PM
Gage Hankins says he was in theater 8
