3rd & 7 37yd

Orman says it seems like a different type of crime, but he is willing to allow the judge to ask the question if the defense wants it

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:07:32 PM
BINGO! the Judge and ORMAN are on top of it!

blue, they are gonna have to somehow secure the back doors of theaters.

by Tammy Garrison 8/5/2015 8:07:40 PM
Been missing so much because we've gone back to school. I just caught the reactions of the lawyers when informed of the newest theater gunman. I imagine his lawyers are feeling pretty cruddy about now.

Look at GB. :(

Brady says the defense would ask the court to emphasize avoiding info on any case like this, suggest avoiding the news in general.

Judge Samour agrees

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:09:01 PM
Love Brauchler. I think he is over Brady..

by Sandy Smith 8/5/2015 8:09:03 PM
it's amazing how many idiots are out there.

by kat 8/5/2015 8:09:05 PM
@Tired. Yep. His "self worth" just increased again...more people dead. Justice is coming for JH. No way around it...

by BluesB 8/5/2015 8:09:06 PM
I wonder if JH is hoping none of these copy cats pull in his kind of numbers of killed/injured... he wants to be the "superstar" of theater shootings

by BROSE 8/5/2015 8:09:08 PM
I thought there was a theater shooting in California in 1996 - 1 killed, 2 wounded, no?

by hey 8/5/2015 8:09:09 PM
I know, look at Brauchler. Geez. He's visibly upset/antsy.

by Kristle 8/5/2015 8:09:39 PM
Brady also suggests reminding the jurors to let the court know if they have inadvertent exposure to the news

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:09:58 PM
Bringing in Juror 118 now to finalize the decision that she can't get the day off to go to her son's military graduation

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:10:26 PM
This judge is awesome. I am praying this doesn't give 'that guy' any idea that he gets some kind of "points" from having his crime copied. I an just sick about this!!!!!!!

by SJW 8/5/2015 8:11:19 PM
I wouldn't want them to talk about it as a defense attorney either. It just shows that JH has had more of a negative impact on the entire country.

by KP 8/5/2015 8:11:25 PM
Does anybody think that the outcome of this trial will have any affect on the people who commit this crime. like the two shootings recently. Surely the punishment must be severe for this to stop. hope I've put it across properly

by Aly 8/5/2015 8:11:29 PM
Anyone else freezing up ??

by Jewel 8/5/2015 8:11:31 PM
@tg anyone who wants to get in and commit a horrific crime will do it. nothing can stop someone with the mindset. doors are locked? pick them, or somehow trip the sensors if they're electronic. metal detectors at the front? go in the back or through the ceiling.. disguise themselves as a police officer, whatever. they will make it in. metal detectors, gun laws and locked doors don't stop these criminals.

by blue 8/5/2015 8:11:38 PM
Brady shut your yapper. Judge is waaay ahead of you & he will do the RIGHT thing, not what's in Jimmy's best interests.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 8:11:39 PM
Ready for the jury now

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 8:11:43 PM
Nelson looks like she needs to seek some other type of employment. Not everybody is cut out to defend the absolute scum of the Earth...

by flip 8/5/2015 8:14:21 PM
This is true, blue, but I think some measures are eventually going to have to be taken to protect not only the safety of the public, but the liability of whatever public venue it happens to be. Maybe its having security at every public place. Not sure what the answer is, but thing we will see changes in the future.

by Tammy Garrison 8/5/2015 8:14:22 PM
The jury is in the room

He didn't pour any water, he drank from a cup that was already there.

by Kristle 8/5/2015 8:16:30 PM
ALREADY love him and he hasn't even spelled out his name.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 8:16:31 PM
Not freezing up at all.

by Kristle 8/5/2015 8:16:32 PM
Trl2-agree with you about CO passing unborn person law...that needs to happen.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 8:16:32 PM
Oh god this is hard already

"We lost our only child's only child." I just lost it.

Robert is going to drop the hammer on JH with his testimony. #rockstar

by Tired 8/5/2015 8:19:05 PM
I wonder how many times Brady will object this time.

by Jennifer 8/5/2015 8:19:07 PM
I double dog dare you Brady to object now.....I found out I am going to be a grandmother in February and I cannot imagine how this man feels already!

by TammyC 8/5/2015 8:19:22 PM
Robert says his son cared for Veronica on the weekends after the divorce, but they "enjoyed her to the fullest" given the limitations of custody

I lived in the Key Largo Apt's in El Cajon, CA back in Oct. 1993. We had a shooting from a long time resident , Gordon. He shot 9 people from his apartment window...including a 18 month old and several young teens. 2 people died...a 40 yr old woman (she was visiting and babysitting her grand kids at the time) and a 9 year old little girl. His name is not remembered...and neither will James Holmes be remembered. Only the family's of the victims and the other's involved will remember.
