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.

3rd & 7 37yd

I think this attorney is Tish McGuire. Unsure of spelling.

Corbin Dates: "I noticed that he got up and went to the right hand side of the exit"

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:19:25 PM
Oh wow he sat right behind the shooter.

by Kristle 5/12/2015 9:19:46 PM
Corbin Dates asked to help demonstrate what he saw with the orange haired person in the doorway

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:20:30 PM
@Victoria, although I could be wrong, because there's been so much testimony regarding evidence, spacing the victims out will keep what happened fresh in the minds of the jurors....as I said, I could be wrong.

by Liz 5/12/2015 9:20:31 PM
How can they press charges for the same thing twice?

How creepy!

by Suzanne 5/12/2015 9:20:57 PM
Oh wow...I was wondering if anyone would remember sitting next to him or seeing him.

by Stephany 5/12/2015 9:21:01 PM
@Victoria, The Prosecution Mixes it up to keep the defense on their toes, Also makes the Jury remember the victims. It's called strategy.

by NT8 5/12/2015 9:21:41 PM
Ok, THIS might be the most important witness thus far.........

by FMM 5/12/2015 9:22:24 PM
@ Stephany Because the Defendant actually committed 2 crimes.

by Abrandt 5/12/2015 9:22:26 PM
Corbin Dates: Friend messaged him, and that is why Dates got up to leave. When Dates returned, the lights were dimmed, but the door did not appear to be open anymore. The door looked closed

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:23:07 PM
Corbin Dates: When he returned to the theater, reclaimed seats in second row.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:23:28 PM
Corbin Dates handed his diagram of the theater. Each survivor/witness has had one so far.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:24:01 PM
Being so close to the shooter He is lucky he wasn't killed.

by Abrandt 5/12/2015 9:24:40 PM
But they are not any different: COUNT 143-Criminal Attempt to Commit Murder in the First Degree (F2) COUNT 144-Criminal Attempt to Commit Murder in the First Degree (F2)

by Stephany 5/12/2015 9:24:46 PM
Hmmmm... King is now reviewing the pictures..... Tingler Defanged?

Defense objects, asks to approach

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:25:12 PM

Different counts stephany

by MAS 5/12/2015 9:26:01 PM
Seriously???

by Suzanne 5/12/2015 9:26:02 PM
I've wondered since the first witnesses if anyone saw JH leave! Finally a witness that had! And he used the ruse of talking on a cell phone so nobody was suspicious. I think that's when he accidentally dialed Aurora Health.

by Kristle 5/12/2015 9:26:07 PM
Tingler looks dejected.......

by NT8 5/12/2015 9:26:20 PM
@ Stephany the charges are:
Count 143: Attempted Murder in the 1st degree after deliberation
Count 144: Attempted Murder in the 1st degree extreme indifference

The difference is one was planned and the other not caring, in Colorado they allow both charges for the same crime.

by Abrandt 5/12/2015 9:26:27 PM
Corbin Dates: Points to where he saw the red/orange haired figure exit on picture

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 9:27:54 PM
Did I miss the ruling on King's objection? Obviously overruled!

by Suzanne 5/12/2015 9:27:56 PM
@Phil what was the ruling?

by NT8 5/12/2015 9:27:57 PM
That is also why he is charged with so many counts.

by KP 5/12/2015 9:27:58 PM
@NT8: didn't hear the ruling, but they let it continue, so must've been overruled.
