The judge is back now

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 7:56:49 PM
@JG just why i ask again just why would anyone in there right mind what a permit to carry a concealed weapon ? Just actually wanting that shoud throw up enough red flags to reject anybodies request for one

by markefc_ 8/5/2015 7:56:52 PM
When is the jury back?

by Carolyn 8/5/2015 7:56:53 PM
@lorij he did allow it to be brought up but not in the way they were asking about the Judge disallowed that part of it

by LG 8/5/2015 7:56:55 PM
OK Resa, take care.

by Kristle 8/5/2015 7:56:56 PM
Movie makers are probably getting worried. People won't go to the movies anymore.

by Kristle 8/5/2015 7:56:58 PM
Be safe, Resa. Thx for your great & insightful comments. ..!

by BluesB 8/5/2015 7:56:59 PM
@Tara, Then Grocery stores, Walmarts, targets, Malls, concerts, BB games, FB games, etc. that is not the answer.

by Rabon 8/5/2015 7:57:01 PM
@aw they don't talk about other shootings to the jury in court

by LG 8/5/2015 7:57:10 PM
I'm sure that the DT will bring it up and have the judge ask the jurors if they know anything about it. (theater shooting in Tenn)

by FMM 8/5/2015 7:57:22 PM
Sadly, because JH was not killed that night at the theater he will get his wish and be remembered regardless of his sentence but the shooters in TN and LA will not be remembered by name or by their face. I truly hope that he is sentenced to death and its carried out sooner rather than later so that he can't sit there swiveling in his chair, reminiscing and fantasizing about his morbid legacy.

by HS 8/5/2015 7:57:26 PM
Just saw the news about the Nashville shooting. Wow....this is the second one in what, a week and a half?!

by Kristle 8/5/2015 7:57:31 PM
Hopefully a DP decision in this case will help serve as a deterrent to all of these copycats.

by LoriJ 8/5/2015 7:57:32 PM
I know, Tara..Tammy predicted that. Isn't it so so sad...?

by BluesB 8/5/2015 7:57:33 PM
Judge Samour brings up Juror 118 and wants to complete the discussion with her about her son's graduation

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 7:57:52 PM
- Judge's Order
Samour next announces that he will allow Veronica's grandfather

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 7:58:34 PM
Judge says he is not worried about the jurors being overwhelmed by emotions, although he's observed some with a few tears

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:00:18 PM
Great points about how many here hope this new tragedy drives the nails in Aurora Shooter's coffin. Agree.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 8:00:22 PM
What actually shocks me the most about this new shooting is how shocked you all seem to be about it all as its going to happen over and over again with your gun laws

by markefc_ 8/5/2015 8:00:29 PM
Not just movie theaters. Malls, concerts, anywhere the public gathers.

by Tammy Garrison 8/5/2015 8:00:30 PM
Again, love this judge.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 8:00:43 PM
Here is hoping that CO will pass an unborn person law. It is one of the few states that do not have some type of this. We are saving babies now prior to 24weeks. You have a fully functional heart at 8wks.

by trl2 8/5/2015 8:00:44 PM
Judge says the DA did not illicit the emotional testimony they could have sought

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:01:34 PM
"I am confident that the jury will follow that instruction" about not allowing themselves to be swayed by emotion

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:01:50 PM
Have none of the court people Heard of the Nashville thing? c'mon Judge Deal with it today, not after the fact tomorrow.

by Rabon 8/5/2015 8:01:55 PM
@Rabon: They are more likely to NOT mention it

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:02:03 PM
@markefc I will decline to answer that. I'm not going to get into the gun control debate in this setting. That is my opinion and I'm not going to defend it here

by JG 8/5/2015 8:02:07 PM
Hey Rabon, it is the answer, when you go to a movie theatre you are in a dark room full of strangers. It is a confined area, much different from a walmart or any store. People are more vulnerable in a movie theatre

by Tara 8/5/2015 8:02:41 PM
Apparently DT has objected a great deal to judge about emotion-hence his speech now. I love his common sense.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 8:02:52 PM
Robert Sullivan, the grandfather, will be testifying specifically about Veronica's kindergarten graduation and some photos

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:03:23 PM
@tara did you forget that jh brought his weapons in through the back door?

by blue 8/5/2015 8:03:48 PM
you're just as confined there.

by blue 8/5/2015 8:04:07 PM
or that grocery stores have no windows?

by blue 8/5/2015 8:04:08 PM
Judge surprises me, he does bring up the TN shooting

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:04:48 PM
Judge asks if the attorneys want him to ask the jury about the LA or TN shootings

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:05:30 PM
Brady is agitated over the judge's ruling about two witnesses for Veronica. C'mon, Brady, you'll have twice as many chances to object.

by flip 8/5/2015 8:05:35 PM
@Phil, Rmeber the other theater shooting and how it took a full day to question the jurors that raised their hands. Just saying cut it off at the pass now.

by Rabon 8/5/2015 8:05:36 PM
Of COURSE this shooter knows about breaking news. I'm sure DT told him-legal reasons, etc. Yuck.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 8:05:36 PM
DUH, i know the JH story.. but maybe it would help, thats all im saying

by Tara 8/5/2015 8:05:37 PM
@JG fair enough just oure madness to i just wonder how many more victims testimonies like this is needed before guns are banned
But its your country so you carry on

by markefc_ 8/5/2015 8:05:39 PM
Orman says that based on his understanding the suspect had a hatchet and a gun. Attacked people. Is now deceased

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:06:12 PM
Brady is always agitated.

by kat 8/5/2015 8:06:16 PM
DT will say yes to judge's question. Duh. Any chance to affect this...

by BluesB 8/5/2015 8:06:17 PM
So JH now knows that his was the first of three theater shootings now. Sick.
