Daybra Thomas-Kizzar: "I remember feeling like a warm liquid on me. I don't think it was from me. And I felt something on my legs when I was laying down in the aisle" didn't seek medical treatment.

Marcus Kizzar: Before the movie, had dinner with friends. Friends declined to see the movie with him and Daybra

I know we are in a more 'relaxed' society, but has no one ever heard of wearing something nicer than faded jeans, t-shirts, and barely brushed hair? Are they being directed to dress down for sympathetic reasons?

Marcus Kizzar: after several deep breaths, repeat of question, "We were watching the film and I saw a figure come through the exit door, or into the auditorium, a canister went into the air"

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:48:41 PM
Marcus Kizzar: says figure was black. Looked like someone in a costume

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:48:54 PM

Marcus Kizzar: heard a lot of gunshots. Felt some stinging in his calves. Smelled tear gas

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:50:28 PM

by sydnijmm 5/19/2015 7:51:03 PM
- Objection
Marcus Kizzar: "I'm hearing a lot of screaming and stuff" starts to talk about what is wife said, but objection and sustained

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:51:18 PM
I wondered the same thing Doc, it seems every survivor is dressed casually. Maybe they were told to because it makes them look like a regular movie goer.

by Rheba 5/19/2015 7:51:21 PM
- Objection
Marcus Kizzar: Says he is familiar with weapons from military. Objection originalloy sustained, then attorneys called for conference

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:51:42 PM
@DocJ I think he looks better than the MSF instructor from earlier. The unbuttoned shirt and sleeves rolled up looked pitiful

by JG 5/19/2015 7:52:19 PM
I wonder the the Defendant takes offense to this witness calling Him a newb in court.

by Abrandt 5/19/2015 7:53:24 PM
It is definitely interesting and seems to be a trend in all of the witnesses.

by KP 5/19/2015 7:53:29 PM
Does witness have traumatic brain injury from army, PTSD from this, or just nervous?

by DocJ 5/19/2015 7:53:30 PM
@ Phil even sustained after the approach?

by NT8 5/19/2015 7:53:31 PM
@NT8: waiting to see

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:53:36 PM
prooly it is speculation....... 602 hits again.

by NT8 5/19/2015 7:53:53 PM
Again King doesn't stand. I wish the judge would address that again. He seems arrogant.

by Suzanne 5/19/2015 7:53:55 PM
- Judge's Order
Sustained in part, overruled in part

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:55:13 PM
Marcus Kizzar: says it sounded like an M16/AR15

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:55:19 PM
the judge addressed king yesterday when he told him it didnt' matter what mic he used as long as he stood up.

by sydnijmm 5/19/2015 7:56:43 PM
Marcus Kizzar handed a diagram, asked to approach the model

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:56:56 PM
Really @sydnijmm? I missed that.

by AJS 5/19/2015 7:57:29 PM
Disrespecting this veterans experience.

by NT8 5/19/2015 7:57:30 PM
Judge mentioned it again today when he said, "Let's get Mr. King a microphone" to which Kind replied, "I have one, judge." Yikes.

by KP 5/19/2015 7:57:48 PM
what a horror to have to relive this tragic event in their lives again & again....

by Marcy Scala 5/19/2015 7:58:13 PM
Marcus Kizzar: Gesturing to where he sat, where he saw the canister land, where he saw the shooter with the gun

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:58:14 PM
Why is lawyer escorting him with hand on shoulder from door to witness stand, stand to display? I am assuming this will be reversed when done.

by DocJ 5/19/2015 7:58:39 PM
Marcus Kizzar: exited through upper exit

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:58:40 PM
Marcus Kizzar: says he picked up a woman who yelled "Help me, I'm going to die"

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 7:59:00 PM
Marcus Kizzar: after exiting says "i was in a different emotional state" was trying "to get out of the kill zone"

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 8:00:14 PM
King needs a desk job rather than being in court. Sorry but some reason he just bugs me I can't stand arrogant behavior.

by Suzanne 5/19/2015 8:00:17 PM
Marcus Kizzar: After getting to a safe location, saw his wife's dress had blood on it. Found his calves had some injuries, not sure if shrapnel or pellets.

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 8:00:42 PM
@DocJ: That is bizarre. I dont' remember seeing her do that before.

by RWalk 5/19/2015 8:00:52 PM
@it might not have been actually yesterday, but i saw it yesterday. lol. i've been watching a lot of recap. but yes i caught earlier today too when the judge told him to get a mic.

by sydnijmm 5/19/2015 8:01:01 PM
No cross, no jury questions. Marcus Kizzar is excused

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 8:01:03 PM
Ahhh. Sandbox PTSD is what my brother calls it. Was obviously in Iraq or Afghanistan

The people call Patricia Hawkins

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 8:02:08 PM
IMO the casual dress of the survivors was their own decision. If you've been in court for whatever reason, people dress like that.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 8:03:02 PM
Patricia Hawkins is a chemist for crime lab, attended autopsies

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 8:03:03 PM
Patricia Hawkins was the second CSI attending autopsies. We heard from the other earlier today
