@Liz, He had this planned out, Just didn't execute the get away well enough.

@liz, @nt8 surely he thought more than 8 road stars worth of first responders would show....

by sydnijmm 5/14/2015 8:50:58 PM
What was his intent with the road stars?

by Bill 5/14/2015 8:50:59 PM
@Phil What witness should we be watching right now? I'm watching live and we're back to the uninteresting witness w/ a laundry list of numbered evidence... but I didn't see you switch to a new witness. Is it my feed and I need to refresh and you're still watching the road stars guy?

@Penguins219: Check that your live button on the bottom of the video player is checked red. or refresh the page. You should see Edson questioning Joel Jeffe

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 8:53:11 PM
@Syd, If he would have executed better, he may have knocked off the first pursuit car, maybe the second. The problem would be is if they got close enough to get his plate Number.

by NT8 5/14/2015 8:53:13 PM
- Objection
Objection sustained for history of Road Stars

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 8:55:13 PM
@Bill, stop the pursuing Police vehicles.

by NT8 5/14/2015 8:55:15 PM
@Bill, the only intent I can think of, for using the roadstars, is to disable the police and rescue vehicles.

by Liz 5/14/2015 8:56:11 PM
@Phil Thank you. My little red button was red and the little slider circle was all the way to the end. Maybe I have a feed that sees into the future?

by Penguins219 5/14/2015 8:57:23 PM
No cross, no jury questions

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 8:57:29 PM
I just don't get what the handcuffs were for.

by Liz 5/14/2015 8:57:33 PM
I've been trying to view the case timeline, and each time I get an error saying that google cannot connect to whatever it is... I'm using internet explorer (at work)... Is it broken for anyone else?

by proph 5/14/2015 9:10:08 PM
I thought somebody mentioned at some point that he was going to try and use the handcuffs on the theater doors leading to the lobby? like cuff the doors together so they couldnt be opened. I could be wrong but I think that's what I heard at the beginning of the trial

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:10:14 PM
@LIz he used them to lock the theater door

by LC 5/14/2015 9:10:15 PM
Were the handcuffs purchased to lock the exit doors from the outside?

by Marcy Scala 5/14/2015 9:10:17 PM
@MarcyScala: Nobody has speculated about that

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:10:31 PM
Orman just got Permission for the model Picture. No mention of Published or not. Think Samour said for the court record.

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:10:32 PM
Has anyone kept track of how much money JH spent so far?

by RGMimi 5/14/2015 9:10:34 PM
@Liz - Yeah, that's a bit odd. Maybe he was just not 100% sure what he was going to do and was planning for a variety of things?

by Angela Freeman 5/14/2015 9:10:35 PM
@Liz, to get the cuff keys, so he could escape if cuffed. Bad plan.....

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:10:37 PM
Did he have the roadstars with him when the cops got him outside the theater?

by Erica Vallejo 5/14/2015 9:10:38 PM
has anyone else thought that the orange haired JH looks different from the college ID JH?

by RWalk 5/14/2015 9:11:33 PM
@Erica-- Yes, they were in the back of his car.

by proph 5/14/2015 9:11:36 PM
@Rwalk, he dyed his hair after he turned in his ID, After he withdrew from school.

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:18:40 PM
@RGMimi I would like to know that too. Seems like a lot of money for a college student.

by Casey 5/14/2015 9:18:41 PM
But weren't the cuff keys found at home?

by Valm46 5/14/2015 9:18:42 PM
@LC Where is the evidence that the exit doors were locked with those handcuffs? They were found in his Bedroom.

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:18:43 PM
@RGMimi I would like to know that as well. Seems like a lot of money for a college student.

by Casey 5/14/2015 9:18:44 PM
@NT8, thanks I never thought about purchasing them for the keys. I know he didn't use them to lock the theater doors because he used a piece of plastic to keep the doors from locking behind him.

by Liz 5/14/2015 9:18:54 PM
OK who said the handcuffs were Purchased to lock the exit doors? Where did you get that info? Is there a police interview that he said that in? Or is this speculation?

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:18:55 PM
@Phil- did JH have a Gmail and a Hotmail account- both with dsherlockb?

by Victoria 5/14/2015 9:18:56 PM
um are we on break or something?left for a minute and now it seems to be replayed testimony?

by fnjd 5/14/2015 9:19:01 PM
Does anyone think that he might have taken any hostages with the handcuffs?

by Victoria 5/14/2015 9:19:02 PM
@Victoria: Yes, I believe that is correct

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:19:15 PM
@fnjd: Yup, break should be ending at 320ish

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:19:40 PM
Is there a way to see the case timeline photos enlarged? Maybe I'm missing it, I apologize if so.

by Angela Freeman 5/14/2015 9:22:37 PM
@Victoria, I don't think he was intending to take any hostages, he just wanted to cause chaos and destruction.

by Liz 5/14/2015 9:22:39 PM
@AngelaFreeman: Nope, I dont think the software allows bigger photos :-(

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:22:55 PM
Jury coming back in

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:24:08 PM
Okay, my previous question got eaten up! I've been trying to view the case timeline for the past few days, and each time google can't conenct to the doc (or something along those lines). Is anyone else having issues with this? I'm on Internet Explorer, and that may be the issue since IE hardly works in the first place lol.

by proph 5/14/2015 9:24:33 PM
@proph: I haven't seen a problem before, but it should be OK even on a smartphone

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:24:58 PM
