by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:40:38 PM
Juror 983 now in the courtroom

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:41:27 PM

by NT8 5/12/2015 2:41:30 PM
heyooo!

by sydnijmm 5/12/2015 2:41:30 PM
Juror 983 concerned that he was supposed to be anonymous, but his job (he said RTD) said they had to turn in his number.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:42:10 PM
Judge Samour asks 983 to "keep doing whatever he's been doing" as in avoiding conversations about the case, avoiding discussions

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:43:40 PM
Juror 983 is a Caucasian male (one of 5 men on the jury). He said he is a mechanic. His approx age is 30s

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:44:50 PM
looks like the defendant is back to his white shirt.

by sydnijmm 5/12/2015 2:45:48 PM
- Judge's Order
Samour says he doesn't want to hear about people at the hospital or how long witnesses had to wait for treatment. Says he's ordered this in the past and wants to remind the attorneys to limit their witnesses testimony. Says Rottman went a little over the boundary last night.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:47:28 PM
Good morning folks.

by Angela Freeman 5/12/2015 2:47:32 PM
@Phil, Can you ask Marshall what witness # is coming on next?

by NT8 5/12/2015 2:48:57 PM
@NT8: We didn't get a list or a tip for today

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:49:07 PM
i missed everything after lunch but went through and read the comments this morning. which is rottman??

by sydnijmm 5/12/2015 2:49:11 PM
@sydnijmm: Rottman was shot in the leg, had to leave his best friend behind. He was in the photo with Christian Bale that went viral

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:49:33 PM
Morning Angela

by KP 5/12/2015 2:49:35 PM
The jury isn't sequestered?

by jj1114 5/12/2015 2:50:00 PM
@nt8 i think it's 74?

by sydnijmm 5/12/2015 2:50:02 PM
I was thinking 77, hmmmm....

by NT8 5/12/2015 2:50:51 PM
okay, that's what i was thinking but i think i read it wrong and interpreted it as rottman was an attourney. lol. thanks @phil

- New Witness
The people call Dylan Thomas Bieniulis, project management assistant at an analytically testing lab in Arvada, Colo. Previously worked at The Science Company in Denver.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:51:32 PM
Dylan Thomas Bieniulis worked at The Science Company, which is just down the street from our 7NEWS studio. We've heard it mentioned before as the place where the defendant bought chemicals including glycerin.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:52:11 PM
you might be right. i can't remember if 70 was yesterday morning or after lunch.

by sydnijmm 5/12/2015 2:52:14 PM
It must be difficult to be a defense attorney and have to be on the side of someone you know did something so awful. He is entitled to a defense, but I always wonder what they actually think and feel on a personal level about the people they are defending.

by Angela Freeman 5/12/2015 2:52:16 PM
Dylan Thomas Bieniulis says he was a sales associate at The Science Company, helped customers, worked to fill orders.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 2:52:39 PM
I hope that wasn't worded too oddly. Lot of cold meds this morning, haha.

by Angela Freeman 5/12/2015 2:52:42 PM
@jj1114, the jury isn't sequestered.

by Liz 5/12/2015 2:52:43 PM
spengler looks like she has an objection button she's just WAITING to push.

by sydnijmm 5/12/2015 2:53:48 PM
I am always thinking about the conversations the defendant and attys must have.. or the lack thereof

by KP 5/12/2015 2:53:50 PM
@Syd, So much of this just seems to run together at times.

by NT8 5/12/2015 2:53:51 PM
I think it would be fun to be on the DT. Or a competent DT. Thanks @Liz.
