@BluesB - good question about the mail. I know it's been restricted for quite a while, but I'm curious as to how that works, too.

thanks Phil

@JG "cant even imagine how hard it is for all of them to resist the urge to just scream something at that monster" It's so much more effective and impactful that they don't. I'm sure the PT has mentioned this to these witnesses.

"I'm getting really strong, Mom..." Oh dear, I have a lump the size of a grapefruit in my throat...

Cannot fathom anything-'Not a word, that the defense could use to try to beg the jury for mercy. That word does not belong in the same sentence with shooter's identity. They are done for. They would be better to say nothing, object no more, and remain in silence. What on earth could DT even try to use to "neutralize" any of this agonizingly true suffering...!!!?!

by BluesB 8/5/2015 5:29:49 PM
HOW can JH and the defense team just sit there and show no emotion. I am baffled.

Caren Teves says she was tested for ALS

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:30:05 PM
Swivel, swivel, swivel - what a despicable human.

She says Alex was visiting and recognized something was wrong

401/403 objection to how it affects her is sustained

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:31:38 PM
I don't see either team showing an emotion doesn't mean they don't feel they are just doing their jobs... its just a part of the process

Same objection

Attorneys asked to approach

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:31:57 PM
JH is much more alert and interested in all this testimony. He no longer looks so blank as he did during the trial. He's enjoying this.

Sending hugs to their strong, heartbroken people testifying.

He's a convicted murderer so it's absolutely correct to say "murdered", just headed to the finish line with the penalty. LWOP or DP.

by Kristle 8/5/2015 5:32:06 PM
@Sandy-no doubt. Nelson shows a little emotion. Spengler is The WORST. Oh..& Brady. And Higgs...watch Spengler's body language (2nd row).

by BluesB 8/5/2015 5:32:08 PM
What a lovely lady, with a beautiful family.

by Resa 8/5/2015 5:32:09 PM
Parkinson's. Wow.

by Kristle 8/5/2015 5:32:10 PM
OK Phil.

by Kristle 8/5/2015 5:32:36 PM
This mama has done such a great job sharing Alex with us! My heart goes out to her and the family.

by Mandy L 8/5/2015 5:32:36 PM
OMG - Parkinson's over ALS and now she has to deal with this! Does the misery ever end?

by Edy 8/5/2015 5:32:46 PM
Damn it, Brady...shut up!

by Marsha Laurienti 8/5/2015 5:32:47 PM
I'm so amazed at how much strength, and restraint, all of these families have shown, especially the moms. My heart goes out to each and everyone of them.

Objection sustained

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:35:06 PM
JH is getting his share of stare downs today. Hope he feels the burn.

by caz 8/5/2015 5:35:08 PM
I have so much anger right now.....I just want to get my hands on this guy....I know I have a long line ahead of me but.......jeez I am so pissed.

by Tired 8/5/2015 5:35:13 PM
Spengler looks like she is trying to hide.

@ Sophia He probably enjoying the fact that, this woman is suffering. he gets extra value points for collateral damages in his mind. I think that to him it is all a video game.

by Humble Pride 8/5/2015 5:38:17 PM
Great job, Jimmy ol'boy!!! Way to ruin so many! (yes, I'm being sarcastic!)

by Victoria 8/5/2015 5:38:19 PM
State of Colorado should file terrorism charges against little Jimmy.

by Resa 8/5/2015 5:38:20 PM
Yes, he does, Sophia-right on. And he can't handle the stares from the survivors on the stand. Bet he's wishing for his gas mask w/the scratched lense & the loud music blaring in his ears to block sound of screams. Oh wait-he was "psychotic"-didn't know it was wrong (sarcasm). He's toast.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 5:38:21 PM
Alex Teves

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:39:02 PM
- New Witness
The people call Lisa Childress

I am going to reset the feed between witnesses. When I do, it'll go black for a minute or so

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:40:41 PM
Signal reset completed now

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:40:46 PM
Mama Teves just stared him down....swivel, swivel, swivel. The absolute tragedy in this is a person like Alex was taken, and that scumbag is still breathing. Alex was a true scholar...he worked on his own to gain what he had, scumbag was given what he had. Alex gave to others, scumbag took everything from others. The wrong young man is dead. This testimony has really just devastated me. Such a damn loss!!!!
