Theater shooting trial ay 62: Phase 3 continues with families of those killed

Day 62 in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial – People vs. James Eagan Holmes. Today, prosecutors will call approximately nine more family members of the victims who were killed.

3rd & 7 37yd

Looking at that side witness stand, it's so close to JH. But facing away from him, which is good.

Wonder who is giving the DT closings. Really hope its not Higgs after her utterly pathetic attempt at sounding like she was on the verge of tears yesterday. That empty emotion shouldve been stricken

by JG 8/5/2015 3:29:14 PM
Brave girl! Glaring at shooter just like Sandy yesterday. Love it.

Video is a photo montage of Gordon and family photos

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 3:29:59 PM
Makes me ill when JH looks up at the family photos on the screen

God bless this sweet baby! Love the stink -eye shes giving jh! Courage personified!!

by sher 8/5/2015 3:30:39 PM
@blues., I noticed that. She would answer a question then look right at him and repeat

by JG 8/5/2015 3:30:41 PM
TM directs the discussion to July 19/20 of 2012

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 3:31:04 PM
I really hope the DT doesn't interrupt when Veronica's family takes the stand. That will really make me mad.

"Besides trying to wake him up. Before that, when the shooting started, he started to get up... (crying).. he started to move forward but then he hesitated and turned to make sure that we were coming too"

Nelson seems most sympathetic & focused on these witnesses. Only closeness to human emotion from DT I've seen.

by BluesB 8/5/2015 3:32:54 PM
Was JH ever diagnosed with detachment disorder? I see NO empathy from him whatsoever.

by Carolet in Denver 8/5/2015 3:32:56 PM
This is just heartbreaking.........I feel so sad for her.

by kat 8/5/2015 3:32:56 PM
Kat-don't worry-bet the jury will be furious if they keep this up & object during Veronica's part...

by BluesB 8/5/2015 3:32:57 PM
As much as I would do my very best to hold my composure if I was a family member testifying, I think I would be arrested in court for lunging at that despicable human being (JH) This morning I said to myself, be a better person today, then you were yesterday.

Says after the Superman preview "we looked at each other and kind of just laughed about how excited everyone was"

I sure hope so Bluesb

Spengler did the objections during the victim testimony in the trial. She was much more respectful, used a soft voice, tried to be gentle, sounded apologetic but still did her job. These two DT lawyers are eager to jump up and 'catch' an objection and are not even trying to be respectful. Just another sign of overall tone deafness by DT.

Bless this young ladies heart......

by kat 8/5/2015 3:36:08 PM
Brady glancing at the jury to see if they're crying when she is.

by Kristle 8/5/2015 3:36:10 PM
I hope she gets the closure she needs.

by kat 8/5/2015 3:36:12 PM
He ladies and gentleman, is the epitome of what a good dad is. Sad for these families. Sad to hear a daddys girl and how she was affected by his loss. so sad.

by AM 8/5/2015 3:36:13 PM
Official notification of her father's murder came at Gateway HS when the families gathered

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 3:36:45 PM
Chief of police confirmed to them that the names not on the list meant they had been killed

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 3:37:06 PM
Cierra remembers "complete uproar" at that moment

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 3:37:21 PM
Who is next to JH at the end of the table? Her posture conveys serious boredom and disinterest. Ugh. Don't fall asleep now....

by RRose 8/5/2015 3:37:24 PM
Brady is heartless

by kat 8/5/2015 3:37:25 PM
Cierra is being very brave, plus she has shot the evil eye at JH during side bars! Go Cierra!!

Cierra crying, Brady asks to approach

by Phil Tenser 8/5/2015 3:37:59 PM
@Kristie I agree to a point but if its that important after the1st and most certainly the 2nd email I got no response I would have sent a note to the judg

by Tia 8/5/2015 3:40:34 PM
@Kat she will never get closure she has so many life experiences to go through that a dad would be part of and she is never going to get to share those with her dad

by markefc_ 8/5/2015 3:40:36 PM
BluesB, I hope you don't have a stroke today! This is so hard to watch.

by Sophia 8/5/2015 3:40:37 PM
Are you kidding me, Brady? Grrrrr....

by Jennifer 8/5/2015 3:40:38 PM
here she goes again..........she can't just let it go, can she...............

by kat 8/5/2015 3:40:39 PM
No approach!! This is a girl who lost her father! Would you be able to calmly sit there and talk about how he was shot right next to you?!

by RRose 8/5/2015 3:40:41 PM
Could Brady just stop!!

by Julie 8/5/2015 3:40:42 PM
Brady, you aren't doing your client any favors.

by Marsha Laurienti 8/5/2015 3:40:43 PM
Brady is soo disrespectful..
