Theater shooting trial day 11: Fingerprint expert may testify about work inside Theater 9

On the 11th day of the Aurora movie theater shooting trial, we may hear from a fingerprint expert who worked to identify the victims inside the theater. A prosecuting attorney indicated Monday that testimony was likely coming soon.

Special Agent DeFrance: they used a surveyor's tool, a total station, to measure the points of interest in the room.

@Phil, experiencing a lot of Buffering here, Can you have the IT guys check your settings?

by NT8 5/12/2015 9:01:43 PM
@NT8: can try....

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:01:48 PM

Special Agent DeFrance: "It very indiscriminately will scan a room and measure pretty much everything that is within the view"

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:02:50 PM
Have they qualified Special Agent DeFrance as an expert?

by 2LOL 5/12/2015 9:03:05 PM
@2LOL: not yet

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:03:09 PM
Another question- I'm unfamiliar with court proceedings- Once the jury begins their deliberation for their verdict, what will the attorneys do in the meantime? If that makes any sense...

by proph 5/12/2015 9:03:47 PM
Special Agent DeFrance: Data collected was downloaded and submitted to the lab, where diagrams/models were created

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:04:17 PM
No cross, no jury questions, Special Agent DeFrance excused

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:04:32 PM

Ah yes, Attorney Pearson.

by Stephany 5/12/2015 9:06:18 PM
Stevie Nicks it is!!! Personal side note, my mother decided upon my name because of Stevie Nicks.

by Stephany 5/12/2015 9:06:19 PM
Nutz, no AC 360 today? No Orman?

by NT8 5/12/2015 9:06:20 PM
Special Agent Jostes: Says they used a TopCon total station

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:07:00 PM
AC 360? How did he acquire that nickname?

by Stephany 5/12/2015 9:07:28 PM
@Phil, It's running good here now, so if the IT guys did anything that fixed it! Thank-You!

by NT8 5/12/2015 9:07:35 PM
Quick explanation of how total stations work, because I've used them in a past job: They are put in a known position (relative to the area) and a known distance is measured. Then, every time you measure a new location via a laser reflection, you can use trig to get a location in 3D space for the items you want to mark.

@Stephany, he looks like Anderson Cooper, and interviews the same way, no hiding behind the Podium.

by NT8 5/12/2015 9:08:48 PM
They only think he looks like Anderson Cooper because of his hair..

by BC 5/12/2015 9:10:26 PM
ah, thanks.

by Stephany 5/12/2015 9:10:27 PM
Special Agent Jostes: says accuracy is within millimeters.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:11:03 PM
Special Agent Jostes: Says she spent 8 days measuring with the total station inside the theater

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:11:13 PM
Good info Phil! Thanks!

Special Agent Jostes: "21 times, the most I've ever moved it" she says about how she had to move it to get measurements

Any word if we STILL believe the finger expert will testify today?

by Amy 5/12/2015 9:13:28 PM
Calibration done, Stops the Objections right there.

by NT8 5/12/2015 9:13:28 PM

by NT8 5/12/2015 9:15:48 PM
Corbin Dates: Says tried to buy ticket for theater 8, so he got theater 9.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:16:30 PM
Why does the amount of shell casings they found not match the number of people shot or the amount of times they were shot or the number of bullet holes found

Corbin Dates: "I went to look for a seat. The whole theater was packed" Ended up sitting in far right of second row.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:17:14 PM
Does this Attorney have a nickname that we have created yet?

by Stephany 5/12/2015 9:17:19 PM
Is there a reason why they don't call the movie goer's one right after another?

by Victoria 5/12/2015 9:17:20 PM
Corbin Dates background info: In preliminary hearing we heard that Dates saw a person with red hair leave through an emergency exit door before the previews began

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:18:05 PM
He sat rt behind the Defendant in the Theater.
