@chess: It depends on where you work. The state pays $50/day after the first 3 days. some employers and unions will pay the rest of the jurors salary, others do not.

Wonder what the total of expended Rounds per weapon is. And will it be revealed?

by NT8 5/12/2015 4:55:50 PM
60 of these to go through, Then bring in the 2nd CSI to cover 61-123.

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:00:30 PM
@NT8: good point

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:01:04 PM
Amazing amount of spent cartridges just imagine if the ar115 had not jammed.

Remember people, the influence won't sway whether or not he was insane, He is already guilty of the crime

by MAS 5/12/2015 5:04:34 PM
All this is doing is Validating all the evidence that is used vs JH. Not pretty but it is a must do thing. Photo's show where it was collected. Then they have each and every round in evidence. Just for those that are wondering why they are doing all this.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:04:41 PM
Aurora PD CSI Nick Carroll is also being handed the actual spent shells he photographed, and is linking them with the photographs by their evidence marker numbers

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:06:36 PM
the jury will either find him guilty, not guilty or not guilty by reason of insanity. just because he confessed doesn't mean he's automatically guilty of all counts. that's why we're here.

by sydnijmm 5/12/2015 5:06:38 PM
Somewhere there is a drawing of the entire Theater That will have each Exhibit number showing where each and every item was located. Dunno if they will show that in the trial.

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:07:25 PM
Aurora PD CSI Nick Carroll says he also collected loaded gun magazines from inside the theater

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:12:34 PM
@Phil. Is there a count of how many ppl were actually in theater 9 in addition to the 10 & 70?

by Valm46 5/12/2015 5:12:43 PM
@Valm46: It was full, i believe, but I do not have a count right now. every seat. I have a seat map at

will be interesting to see if Pearson asks him at the end for the totals of rounds by type that he collected.

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:13:12 PM
Nick Carroll: Now explaining photos of where he found the loaded gun magazines. Several so far.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:17:30 PM
39 unfired rounds removed from a magazine Nick Carroll says.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:18:27 PM
If she does ask that, Spengler will object saying Cumulative, Yes it is, It's an accumulation of how many rounds he fired.

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:18:30 PM
Gun magazines

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:18:53 PM
Carroll and staff removed the live rounds from the magazines after they were collected. This one contained 39. He held them up in court.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:21:29 PM
I think the theater had 400 seats, but even if it was sold out, there were a few empty seats because JH bought tickets at the kiosk, trying to get a ticket that had theater 9 on it. He kept buying a ticket at different times until he got theater 9.

by Kristle 5/12/2015 5:23:28 PM
@Kristle: You're probably right that there were some empty seats. After all, the gunman's ticket was for theater 8, but he found a seat inside 9 prior to the start of the previews

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:24:18 PM
Were the 39 unfired rounds from the gun inside the theater?

by Kristle 5/12/2015 5:24:27 PM
@Kristle: From a magazine... just one of several.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:24:38 PM
@Phil, Do you know who the lead attorneys are for each side?

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:24:38 PM
i think it's king and brauchler. @nt8

by sydnijmm 5/12/2015 5:25:51 PM
@NT8: For the prosecution, DA George Brauchler is in charge, because it is his judicial district. He took office in 2013. For the public defender, King is the Chief Trial Deputy and Brady is the Chief Deputy Public Defender

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:26:02 PM
@Phil ok thanks

by Kristle 5/12/2015 5:26:44 PM
- Objection
Objection to evidence is overruled and the evidence is admitted.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:27:23 PM
Great point on GB. I suspected King was the other lead, He sits back and is working on The next eventuality.

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:27:31 PM
Nick Carroll confirms magazines were found in the hallway of the theater

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:28:50 PM
Which one is King?

by jj1114 5/12/2015 5:30:45 PM
@jj1114: Red hair and brown suit on the end of the defense table

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:30:59 PM
- Objection
Cumulative objection is overruled.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:32:03 PM
Thank you.

by jj1114 5/12/2015 5:32:04 PM
@Phil, I have nothing today so far, This is the cut and dried mundane Evidence stage. If anything he could put it in his own way.

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:32:37 PM
Drum style gun magazine photographed. Several un-fired rounds.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:32:40 PM
@Phil: What's for lunch? ;-)

by Stephany 5/12/2015 5:34:17 PM
@Stephany: LOL we were JUST NOW having that discussion and figuring out how we were going to arrange our schedule

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:34:40 PM
OK which gun is using the Drum magazine, I am assuming the shotgun.

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:35:17 PM
@NT8: The rifle. We've heard it jammed. That is why so many magazines were found still loaded. He allegedly tried them, but abandoned them.

by Phil Tenser 5/12/2015 5:35:45 PM
@Phil, The rifle used the cartridge magazines I thought.

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:37:31 PM
@NT8 the AK uses the drum magazine.

by DocJ 5/12/2015 5:37:33 PM
@docJ, They have to do this inorder to make all the evidence collected Valid. No way around it.

by NT8 5/12/2015 5:37:39 PM
how come he is able to present all of the evidence that his colleague cataloged? or did i misunderstand? i thought he said he did 1-60 and someone else did the rest..
