Theater shooting trial day 21: More sanity examination video to be shown

Jurors can expect to see more video and hear more testimony from Dr. William Reid, the court-appointed psychiatrist who recorded over 22 hours of his interviews with Aurora movie theater shooting gunman James Holmes before deciding the shooter was legally sane.

3rd & 7 37yd

Dr Reid asks what was next? Gunman says shotgun

I was out most of the day, were there any witnesses other than Dr. Reid today? I assumed they played the video all day, correct?

Was there any problem buying the weapons? Gunman says he thought being mentally ill might be a problem for him buying weapons. He thought previous doctors might have diagnosed him as being mentally ill "and then I wouldn't be able to buy any guns"

I cannot reconcile using homicide to repress suicidal ideations. Depression is anger turned inward, they say. It saps your energy, your will, your interest and gumption. I can't get to homicide from there.

How much ammo did you buy?
"i'd buy it in bulk, so thousands and thousands."

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:30:20 PM
Was that every a problem? "Nope"

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:30:26 PM
Next item was semi-auto rifle

@Flip: So his calendar was like an emoticon with using that symbol?

by Kristle 5/29/2015 10:30:48 PM
@Angela, Shotgun failed, AR15 failed, Pistol did not do well, he got caught, Poor Planning on his part. or known as PPP in my book. Yeah he took some out, but could have gotten more.

Can't wait to hear the questions over this video segment.

by Tammy Garrison 5/29/2015 10:30:58 PM
A mentally ill person can make that leap. And a jillion other nonsensical leaps that to them make perfect sense. Or at least as much sense as they can muster out of anything.

Shooters says he thought about buying an automatic, but says the law didnt allow it

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:31:14 PM
Next item, another handgun

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:31:19 PM
I still and probably never understand why He wasn't not 72 hour holed after telling the Docs He had homicidal ideation.

by Abrandt 5/29/2015 10:31:41 PM
That's what I am thinking--he designed his own emoticon.

by Flip 5/29/2015 10:31:43 PM
I have to say, I don't agree that this is a slam dunk for the prosecutor, while I think playing these in their entirety was smart, it's left many questions and holes for the defense. Don't think he was insane but has some serious mental defects.

by Carrie 5/29/2015 10:31:46 PM
@NT8 - True. That makes sense.

Gunman says he took a picture of himself. "I don't know why, just, to be remembered"

"Typical camera phone selfie pictures"

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:32:37 PM
"Familiar in the ways of weaponry and body armor" is what he thought people would think from the picture

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:33:48 PM
@Videoographer, Un p;lug the water cooler, he is drinking water and juice.

What else would they infer? "That I'm a killer, I guess"

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:34:03 PM
Dr Reid showing him the picture they've been discussing

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:34:33 PM
@NT, No... You or I could do more, not this guy in his fantasy world where killing people makes his life better. Good grief, do I ever keep hollering at JH while painting. I have to go back and touch up my ceiling now. Grrrr.

by DocJ 5/29/2015 10:34:54 PM
Your not a killer, your a terrorist.

by NT8 5/29/2015 10:34:55 PM
Reid wants to ask what gunman thinks from the pictures. Doesn't seem like he's finding them

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:35:13 PM
Gunman describes a picture he remembers, bullet-proof coat with tactical vest. I'm wearing the possession contact lenses.

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:35:38 PM
@ DocJ, Damn Skippy, but neither of us would do such a henious thing.

Gunman says he has the same thoughts when he saw his selfies "They're the same as the inferences other people would make... this is a guy who is familiar with these things and this is what a killer looks like"

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:37:20 PM
"I didn't feel anything. I was just taking a picture'

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:38:01 PM
Gunman's selfie

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:38:16 PM
@NT, That's some of the point I guess. We are not crazypants people, after all, and we have a better understanding of the weaponry involved - and that is NOT for killing sprees.

by DocJ 5/29/2015 10:38:32 PM
Everything he says is superficial. He doesn't want to describe what he feels about the pictures, or what other people would feel about them.

by Angela Freeman 5/29/2015 10:38:33 PM
a killer who knows what he's doing...

by Tammy Garrison 5/29/2015 10:38:49 PM
I feel sick looking at the picture!

by Liz 5/29/2015 10:38:50 PM
Orman is thinking ya were a killer and not insane.

by Kristle 5/29/2015 10:38:55 PM
A terrorist has an ideal and agenda, this guy is just a run of the mill cold blooded killer (no matter how grand that sounds to him).

by DocJ 5/29/2015 10:39:12 PM
Gunman says he didn't think picture was an accurate depiction of who he is, just of the moment.

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:39:58 PM
Gunman says he took pictures of self, weapons, theater entrances/exits

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:40:11 PM
Dr Reid asks to focus on pictures of self, when were they taken? Gunman says the day of and a couple days before

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:40:34 PM
Dr Reid shows a picture. Remember that one? "Yup"

"He definitely doesn't look normal.... he looks scary... I wouldn't want to run into him"

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:41:03 PM
He is not a killer, nor a Terrorist with an agenda. He had no Motive, no Agenda, Just killed for the sake of killing. Makes himself get "famous" Scum of the earth

by NT8 5/29/2015 10:41:12 PM
Gunman says he looks like a thug, a crazy thug

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 10:41:23 PM
Gunman says he grew beard because razors in jail dont work
