That objection should overruled, that type of testimony was discussed at the beginning of phase 3

I know objecting is part of their job, but all the jury sees is that they keep interrupting these grieving family members, sometimes with success and sometimes not. He killed their relatives. How much more damaging to him is it going to be to simply let them tell their stories?

Why isn't the court coverage being covered since first break?

by Linda Hoyer 8/5/2015 5:52:46 PM
@LindaHoyer: We're live now. I'm not sure what you mean

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:52:55 PM
Her tone is surprising to me, rather positive

by FPsych 8/5/2015 5:52:56 PM
Higgs, you're not "sorry to interrupt again"....if you were truly sorry, you wouldn't do it quite so often.

@BluesB ... Thanks for the tip, I will go check it out...
Can't imagine being that close to the animal that took away a loved one.

by BROSE 8/5/2015 5:53:15 PM
@DocJ - unfortunately witnesses cannot mention anything about Jimmy or the shooting details

Take a seat Chuckles!

by JW 8/5/2015 5:53:18 PM

by Tia 8/5/2015 5:53:21 PM

"He knew how to be downsize, frugal, pay for Broncos season tickets and pay for house payments and his puppy.... he was very generous with his brothers, myself, his dad"

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:54:15 PM
She's just so proud of her awesome son. I think she is great.

"He loved to travel. In the army, his first duty station was Colorado Springs, Peterson... and that was fantastic for him because he was a huge Broncos fan. Then he did 3 years there and got an opportunity to go to ____ Germany"

@Linda - I had a problem a few minutes ago. The feed said the streamer stopped. I refreshed and hit play again and it showed the message about the court resuming shortly instead of the feed. One more refresh and I was back. IDK what caused it.

by ms 8/5/2015 5:55:43 PM
@ms: As announced, I did a reset to improve our outgoing signal. All is in the green now

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:55:55 PM
See, they got in his duty stations anyway!

by Suzi Lewis 8/5/2015 5:56:28 PM
DocJ - yes!!!

by Sophia 8/5/2015 5:56:29 PM
If I was a witness, I would struggle to not jump up and yell at the lawyers objecting and at the murderer. Just because you can object, doesn't mean you must. Dan from Channel 7 said it can do damage if you do it too much.

Jesse also went to the Persian Gulf. "he called it the sandbox"

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:57:01 PM
He made good money there, but didn't like it

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 5:57:09 PM
'His goals were to go to school, get a house and a dog"

@Phil thanks very much... greatly appreciated

She's the first mom to refer to her deceased son as "was". The others said "is".

Chuckles. LOL!!

by Kristle 8/5/2015 5:59:33 PM
Thanks Phil. I missed you resetting the feed.

by ms 8/5/2015 5:59:36 PM
I can tell the PT did a good job prepping these witnesses. I know I couldn't hold things together nearly as well as they are doing!

by Suzi Lewis 8/5/2015 5:59:38 PM
Lisa says she visited the Incline in Manitou Springs with her son. She waited for them to finish because she didn't feel up to that challenge. Her sons and husband did part of it

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 6:00:14 PM
Afterward, they went to a Brazilian steakhouse in Colorado Springs. She says he loved trying different restaurants/foods

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 6:01:08 PM
That was in June of 2012

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 6:01:17 PM
I wonder if the DT will refrain their objections when Ashley Moser takes the stand. Can't imagine they will jump up as often.

by Edy 8/5/2015 6:01:20 PM
Lisa Childress now explaining photos of her son

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 6:02:44 PM
Rome was one of his favorite cities, she says

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 6:03:45 PM
Photo includes her 3 sons on the Incline

@Tired: I hope he gets what he deserves if LWOP is decided -which it won't be.(!!!) Remember? "WILL YOU VISIT ME IN PRISON? "...He deserves whatever happens in general population. 'No special treatment or protection. Ask & ye shall receive.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 6:06:08 PM
@ Edy - I bet they do. They have no heart.

by Suzanne 8/5/2015 6:06:10 PM
I still haven't stopped thinking about Mr. Sullivan, Alex's (Sully's) dad from yesterday.

by Poppy 8/5/2015 6:06:14 PM
All these stories make me think "only the good die young."

by ms 8/5/2015 6:06:16 PM
@Tired, I KNOW!! I would be made happiest of all if he could meet them...MY CO tax dollars will be used to house and feed this monster and pay to send him off to sleepyland. I'd much rather he had a taste of what he gave these poor innocent people...

by SJW 8/5/2015 6:06:22 PM
Next photo she found on her sons' laptop. He is wearing a Broncos jersey

Shooter looking at videos of these angels gives me the gag reflex.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 6:06:44 PM
When the DT says "no additional arguments", it drives me crazy. I comes across like a bratty child. Like you really need to remind us that you object to everything.
