This alone is Damning evidence.

by NT8 7/14/2015 8:03:22 PM
@Phil, that alone is the slamming statement.

by NT8 7/14/2015 8:03:37 PM
too much emphasis on those penetrator rounds. They aren't some super bullet, a regular ball round would've yielded the same results.this is how all the anti gun morons try to incorrectly influence people

Holmes continues to victimize....I went to a movie a week ago and the first thing I did was find the exits and figure a plan of escape...and I bet I'm not the only one that does that 3 years later.

DA referencing the notebook and the development of plans in it. Read the notebook here; media.thedenverchannel.com

Objection to red crosses on exhibit is sustained

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 8:05:59 PM
JH was hell bent on the "mission".

by Kristle 7/14/2015 8:06:03 PM
I think Mr. King is trying to interrupt the flow of Mr. Brauchler's closing with his objections.

by BernerMom 7/14/2015 8:06:04 PM
Mr. Brauchler is painting a picture that is hard to hear...if I were a juror, it's not looking good for JH.

Parents have their choice of what to do with their kids. I think the question was more about why take a small child out at midnight for a crowded, long violent movie, without even knowing what the movie was about. Can only assume that the boyfriend or fiance, knew about the movie and figured the child might? love it? Anyway, this trial has nothing to do with family values.

Judge Samour went to Columbine.

by Stephany 7/14/2015 8:06:14 PM
@Marsha... I've not gone to one since... my friends and I were suppose to go that night as my bday is 7/19 but out thankfully our plans changed!!

Phil How many viewers do you have??

by jerry 7/14/2015 8:08:05 PM
What a closing - so hard to listen to.

by NH 7/14/2015 8:08:28 PM
DA showing gunman's selfies, references the gunman told Dr. Reid it would be perceived as someone "scary"

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 8:08:30 PM
I love listening to DA Brauchler!!!..

King keeps pulling bogus objections out of the air to slow down GBs progress. Probably a good idea because GB is doing great presenting his case.

by Pete 7/14/2015 8:09:51 PM
DA says the selection of rounds and choice of the kill box shows universal malice.

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 8:10:08 PM
@NH I agree. It puts me there, makes me really imagine the terror of that situation. This hard to hear, indeed.

by Lori Butterfield 7/14/2015 8:10:14 PM
Didn't they have a damn conference prior to closing arguments in order to avoid all the damn objections.

by Marsha Laurienti 7/14/2015 8:10:33 PM
Aww King shot down again..nothing like making the defense look like aholes

by Dennie Carp 7/14/2015 8:10:33 PM
Brauchler reminds jury of how Josh Nowlan used his cane to demonstrate how he saw the gunman moving

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 8:10:34 PM
DA says gunman had headphones to cover sound of screams, practiced with his weapons

In each objection, King keeps saying "this has nothing to do with sanity"... this one overruled.

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 8:11:32 PM
Is anyone else impressed at the impact that GB's "simple" slides are having? Taking a lot of info and gelling it down in a very effective way.

by Mr.D. 7/14/2015 8:11:33 PM
Ok, if I were the jury, I'd just be pissed at this point.

by Marsha Laurienti 7/14/2015 8:12:16 PM
6/5/1 stats so far

by NT8 7/14/2015 8:12:37 PM
Way to use the defense's objection against him!

NT8: is the 1 the total bench conferences?

by Stephany 7/14/2015 8:13:47 PM
DA argues that after traffic stop on way to gun range, he reacted and bought tinting. Brauchler argues that shows rational decision making and sanity

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 8:14:12 PM
BAM!

by Marsha Laurienti 7/14/2015 8:14:32 PM
bench confrences is like 6

by NT8 7/14/2015 8:15:32 PM
6 objections, 5 over rules, 1 sustained for the defense in this closing

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 8:16:53 PM
Ah, thank you NT8.

by Stephany 7/14/2015 8:16:54 PM
DA now reminds jury that apartment trap didn't go off and gunman realized cops were already outside.

"He assessed that it was difficult to drive away in his body armor. He put his gun on the roof and waited for them to come arrest him. That is rational. That is logical"

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 8:18:11 PM
Anyone got an approximate time so far?

by jward12 7/14/2015 8:18:16 PM
@jward12: 50 mins

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 8:18:20 PM
Thanks, Phil!
