@Phil: While exiting the theater, did she anyone else critical on the way out?

- New Witness
The people call Heather Synder, survivor

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:46:51 PM
Snyder referenced in COUNT 59-Criminal Attempt to Commit Murder in the First Degree (F2) and COLTNT 1 17-Crimrnal Attempt to Cornmit Murder in the First Degree (F2)

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:47:44 PM
She was with Alex Sullivan (who was killed), Christina Blache (who testified), Farrah Soudani and several others

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:48:15 PM
Absolutely not questioning how a victim exits the theater, but I would have forgotten about my purse. I would want both hands free to run faster.

@ Question, to kill a human is pretty remote using bird shot, Your talking BB size projectiles. Unless you score a "lucky hit" say via the eye into the brain, or between the ribs that takes out your heart.

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:50:48 PM
Heather Synder hit in arm and knee

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:50:59 PM
"I was thinkgin OMG what is going on. I was a little in shock and with everyone running in screaming I thought it would be better if I just laid on the gorund and I proceeded to call my family"

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:51:12 PM
Heather Snyder says fingers were mangled

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:51:17 PM
Farrah Soudani's calf was mangled, hanging down

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:51:31 PM
Heather Snyder remembers the paramedics arriving, asking her to walk out

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:52:22 PM
@NT8. Thx - unless you grow up around guns hard to understand. Get what you're saying

by Question 5/14/2015 9:52:36 PM
Heather Synder "gentleman was holding (farrah's) side together"

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:52:50 PM
Heather Snyder handed her diagram

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:52:56 PM
Sometimes people are so shocked and fearful, they run toward danger and not away danger.

by Amy 5/14/2015 9:54:12 PM
Do you think they will ever show video/audio of the shooter being interviewed right after being taken into custody? Or any kind of testimony or statement from him?

by Leah R 5/14/2015 9:54:14 PM
Closing with Victims/Survivor testimony again.

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:54:15 PM
@LeahR: Already did show some of that, but more is likely

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:54:26 PM
@Question No Problem at all. Bird shot is lethal to say Pheasents, Doves, etc, However you will not bring down duck and geese at a great distance.

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:54:27 PM
@Phil - I missed that afternoon that they showed it! Is there any recording of it?

by Leah R 5/14/2015 9:55:14 PM

Heather Synder felt pain in knee and arm. Saw hand "my fingers looked like they had been put through a garbage disposal" "They were just dangling by skin"

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:56:53 PM
Heather Synder was taken to hospital in front seat of police car. Another injured victim in the back. they were driven to ambulances. Victim in the back seat was Christina Blache, who testified previously.

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:57:37 PM
WOW the DT didn't object to that.

by NT8 5/14/2015 9:57:57 PM
Heather Synder was taken to Denver Health

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:57:57 PM
@Thanks Phil! I will check.

by Leah R 5/14/2015 9:58:47 PM
Heather Synder injuries were fingers amputated. Thru and thru gunshot wound on forearm, buckshot in left knee

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:58:48 PM
Heather Synder's injury photos now being admitted

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 9:59:37 PM
- Objection
King renews pre-trial objections and now also rule 403

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 10:00:23 PM
See the buckshot/ vs Birdshot statements are not agreeing. I am amazed, maybe forensics testimony later on will solve this dilemma I am having.

by NT8 5/14/2015 10:01:13 PM
@NT8: Yeah, the language these people use is not as important as the injuries they suffered. So listen to the forensics for the final and proper language on the kinds of shots, for this, what matters is the injury

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 10:02:03 PM
OK Phil How many photo's are objected to this time?

by NT8 5/14/2015 10:02:04 PM
@NT8: sounds like it was 2

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 10:02:15 PM
I'm impressed with how calm these last 2 victims have been in their testimony, especially given their injuries.

by Abrandt 5/14/2015 10:02:15 PM
Hearing that she had to have her fingers amputated breaks my heart.

by Liz 5/14/2015 10:02:18 PM
Heather Snyder asked to raise hand to show missing fingers to the jury

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 10:02:51 PM
@Liz Me too

by Abrandt 5/14/2015 10:02:52 PM
Heather Snyder: Missing middle and index fingers. Occasionally has phantom pains

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 10:03:24 PM
that is so sad

by Nichole Jarzab 5/14/2015 10:03:28 PM
OK three total, Got it DT goes Oh Fer 3 on that one

by NT8 5/14/2015 10:03:29 PM
objection if she knows person in photo sustained... because Alex Sullivan's photo was previously shown in court.
