Theater shooting trial day 18: Notebook to be introduced into evidence

The Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes - resumes after a 4-day weekend. Today, prosecutors are expected to call two state-appointed doctors who evaluated the gunman after the shootings. 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

Wow give it up to Spengler she is going to set a record today for most objections. Jeez literally every sentence.

by Joey 5/26/2015 3:31:42 PM
Spengler came across as a bully to the last witness in my opinion.

by Abrandt 5/26/2015 3:33:17 PM
I hope the jury is getting as pissed at Spengler as I am! This is ridiculous! She's being disrespectful.

Adco Bomb Tech Lukens helped operate robot to screen the package sent to Lynn Fenton.

by anica.padilla 5/26/2015 3:34:40 PM
Adco Bomb Tech Lukens said the x-ray showed a spiral notebook - no batteries, wires or explosives. Used robot to check for radiation and a "vent hood" - which is a clear box that has gloves you can use to reach inside and manipulate the item.

by anica.padilla 5/26/2015 3:36:59 PM
Adco Bomb Tech Lukens said there was burned cash in the package, but the notebook was not burned.

by Penguins219 5/26/2015 4:07:45 PM
Does it seem like we're jumping around a lot today? From notebook to survivor to explosives found in apartment?

by Me 5/26/2015 4:07:49 PM
Everyone is quiet in the comments today.

by Joey 5/26/2015 4:07:50 PM

by anica.padilla 5/26/2015 4:10:22 PM
@Me I completely agree.

by Joey 5/26/2015 4:10:44 PM
is this evidence related to the booby trap in Holmes' apartment?

by tired 5/26/2015 4:12:34 PM
Amazing how much He planned and gathered to commit the crime.

by Abrandt 5/26/2015 4:15:06 PM
But isn't the most important part of this notebook is WHEN it was sent to Fenton? Rumored to have been sent 2 weeks prior to shooting but not found until day after shooting?

by Me 5/26/2015 4:46:00 PM
Is scribble stuck? I haven't seen a comment in 1/2 an hour :-)

by Penguins219 5/26/2015 4:46:04 PM

@ Joey - I'm running payroll for a client, so I'm not chatting much. I also am trying not to vent my frustration with the DT. : )

@Me: That's interesting about the notebook: I hadn't heard that!?!

by Barb 5/26/2015 4:56:36 PM
Did they already read excerpts from the notebook?? I was interviewing a new employee

by Leah Ryan 5/26/2015 4:56:38 PM
Do they have opening statements recorded anywhere to re-watch?

by Leah Ryan 5/26/2015 4:56:39 PM
Did JH mention the notebook when he was interrogated?? Isn't that how the found out that it was sent.

by Joey 5/26/2015 4:56:41 PM
@Suzanne I am in the same boat.
