3rd & 7 37yd

@AJS, in most trials the DT provides the clothing for the defendant, but I'm not sure if they do in this case.

@LIZ, @NT8 would know- stats update!

by BV 5/19/2015 4:56:37 PM
@Liz I do believe we aare just short of 110 witnesses so far. Have to Tweet Marshall7 he is keeping track.

by NT8 5/19/2015 4:57:05 PM
5 obj 4 overruled, 1 sustained

by NT8 5/19/2015 4:57:39 PM
@Phil and @NT8....thanks!

by Liz 5/19/2015 4:58:23 PM
He's late

by Suzanne 5/19/2015 4:59:25 PM
@AJS Typically the Family of the Defendant gives the clothes to the Defense Team who get it cleared for the Defendant to wear.

by Abrandt 5/19/2015 4:59:27 PM
JH is slouching while the jury's looking at evidence. I bet he straightens up again when they enter. SMH.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 4:59:43 PM
wouldn't it be better for JH to be wearing a suit jacket?

by me 5/19/2015 5:00:44 PM
@Liz and @Abrandt, do they only want him to wear specific colors? Do they believe the colors elicit certain feelings from the jurors?

by AJS 5/19/2015 5:00:45 PM
@Marshall, What is the total witness count up to today?

by NT8 5/19/2015 5:00:47 PM
@NT8: @marshall isn't here yet today

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:00:53 PM
@Phil, no worries I tweeted him.

by NT8 5/19/2015 5:01:36 PM
Kings bookcase is getting full. He may need another one.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 5:01:37 PM
@Kristle, I don't think there's a rule that says JH needs to sit up straight at all times.

by Liz 5/19/2015 5:01:39 PM
@Phil- Any idea how JH's parents are reacting to the testimony that they are hearing in the past couple of days?

by Victoria 5/19/2015 5:04:12 PM
My money is on Survivor.

by NT8 5/19/2015 5:04:36 PM
@Liz: No rule, just an observation.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 5:04:37 PM
Idk where I remember this but am thinking JH's parents bring in his clothes he's wearing in court.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 5:04:40 PM
Hmmmm any guesses what the next witness will be?

by NT8 5/19/2015 5:04:42 PM
When either the DT or PT want a judge to be removed, who makes that decision?

by Suzanne 5/19/2015 5:04:44 PM
@AJS I'm sure there is some communication between the Defense Attorneys and the people obtaining the clothing. I know certain items are prohibited ex. clothing with wording/metal.

by Abrandt 5/19/2015 5:04:45 PM
@AJS, I honestly don't think the colors have anything to do with it. They just don't want to show him wearing his orange jumpsuit, or whatever color they wear in the Arapahoe jail.

by Liz 5/19/2015 5:05:12 PM
I sent you one earlier....

by NT8 5/19/2015 5:05:28 PM
@NT8: Yup, that's on our list!

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:05:36 PM
Great! Thought you kicked it to the Curb!! @Phil

by NT8 5/19/2015 5:07:13 PM
While we wait, Erica and I want to know: What questions should we ask the legal expert at lunch today?

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:17:20 PM
Evan Morrison: Says he pulled his friend to the ground on top of him

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:53:58 PM
Evan Morrison: heard "just a lot of gunshots"

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:54:07 PM
@catherine: Phil is correct. They called a survivor who was sitting directly behind him and he actually SAW JH get up and exit the theater, and he had a cell phone pressed to his ear as he exited. IMO a ruse on JH's part to appear as if he had a phone call.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 5:54:13 PM
Evan Morrison: said he decided to exit within 1 or 2 minutes. Gunfire was still going on

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:54:45 PM
Here's the summary of the testimony of Corbin Dates, to answer your question @catherine
Survivor sat behind orange-haired man in Theater 9, saw him leave before movie theater shooting
7NEWSA moviegoer testified Tuesday afternoon about being seated directly behind the orange-haired theater shooting gunman.

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:55:13 PM
Evan Morrison: Crawled up the stairs from row 13-20 while gunfire continued

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:55:36 PM
@Phil: Awesome!! Thanks for the link!!

by Kristle 5/19/2015 5:56:24 PM
Evan Morrison: Tried to stand at the top, but immediately fell back down

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:56:25 PM
Evan Morrison: "I felt a sharp pain in my left knee"

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:56:38 PM
Evan Morrison: says he'd had a previous injury to the knee. Felt extreme amount of pain

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:56:54 PM
Evan Morrison: Felt so much adrenaline that he got up again, and ran for the exit

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:57:20 PM
- Objection
Evan Morrison: Says others were returning into the theater while he was exiting. They asked if this was part of the movie. He said "no, get out." Defense objects and is sustained.

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:58:15 PM
Evan Morrison: didn't stop people running in

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:58:25 PM
Evan Morrison: run, then jumped down the exit stairs

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:58:37 PM
Give me a break Orman. That was heresay.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 5:59:14 PM
Evan Morrison: was taken to Gateway HS where he was interviewed by PD. He'd attended that school

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:59:15 PM
Evan Morrison: sought medical treatment for his knee. needed acl repair and meniscectomy

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 5:59:35 PM
No additional direct for Evan Morrison, no cross, no jury questions
