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

The camera is so blurry I can't even tell who's in the video.

@CodeSe7en: Once again, we have no control in the courtroom. We're zooming and adjusting audio to make it as good as possible.

I am too Jewel...can't get enough of the trials...

by Robin 5/29/2015 4:04:25 PM
@Robin - I'm not religious myself and have had to sit through church services to appease others. That doesn't really offer any special insights to me personally. I was indifferent as well.

by Angela Freeman 5/29/2015 4:04:27 PM
Yea the paper rustling is louder than the voices, very annoying

by Me 5/29/2015 4:04:28 PM
@codeseven It's james holmes,

"This is making me very sad, hearing about when his life was more or less "normal." I suspect he has been mentally ill most of his life, but because he is so intelligent, he knew how to hide it and act normal. So nobody noticed in time to help him (and in turn, the victims as well). =("

Yes, me too ...

by Harold Finch 5/29/2015 4:04:34 PM
I dunno @Robin. I felt 'indifferent' at Sunday school too.

by Casey 5/29/2015 4:04:35 PM
@CodeSe7en
Best your gonna get.

Dr Reid asks what gunman saw between his parents. "Them talking to each other. You could see love between them."

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 4:05:29 PM

What told you that you saw love? "Just that they cared about each other"... "in their demeanor towards each other"

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 4:05:42 PM
George Brauchler interrupts the video. Jury needs a quick break

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 4:06:23 PM
Angela...I wasn't specifically referring to his church comment...just the fact that he was "indifferent"...I just think it goes to show that he is/was "indifferent"...no regret...

by Robin 5/29/2015 4:06:50 PM
Noooooo.. No Break! WTHeck?!

by Mayday43 5/29/2015 4:07:34 PM
I hope this juror is okay and just having a little stomach bug. =(

by Angela Freeman 5/29/2015 4:11:26 PM
JH has a VERY hard connecting generally and on an emotional basis. He has a child-like simplicity and logical way of describing emotions and social interactions. Like I said a few weeks ago, I wonder about Aspburger's (sp?) Syndrome.

by Penguins219 5/29/2015 4:12:15 PM
Maybe that poor lady from yesterday. How embarrassing.

by Suzanne 5/29/2015 4:12:15 PM
UGH!!

by Me 5/29/2015 4:12:16 PM
Poor Brauchler and team!

by Mayday43 5/29/2015 4:12:17 PM
uhhh oh......Juror number 406 Diarrhea!!!!

by Tired 5/29/2015 4:12:18 PM
still having tummy trouble? or was it a phone call they couldn't miss?

by Tammy Garrison 5/29/2015 4:12:21 PM
@Robin: Also his interaction with the kids a certain lack of empathy as well.

by Barb 5/29/2015 4:12:22 PM
I agree with all that this is a very sad situation...for all...but...I firmly believe that JH knew that his actions in July 2012 and previous to that (planning stages) was "wrong" and that there would be consequences for his actions...he was just "indifferent"...

by Robin 5/29/2015 4:12:25 PM
King objected to religion before......

by NT8 5/29/2015 4:12:26 PM
Is anyone else having problems with Scribble freezing up?

by Barb 5/29/2015 4:12:27 PM
@Barb 4 times today so far for me.

by NT8 5/29/2015 4:13:10 PM
Thanks Barb...I agree...no empathy...

by Robin 5/29/2015 4:14:04 PM
ARRRG...Scribble annoys me!

by Barb 5/29/2015 4:14:32 PM
@Barb: It is also possible that some of the pauses are my fault. I can't read them and approve them when I have to keep jumping onto the chair and turning on the lights

by Phil Tenser 5/29/2015 4:15:10 PM
i agree @robin

by AMeeMan 5/29/2015 4:15:13 PM
@Robin, agreed. He still chose to act, and knew it was wrong

by Harold Finch 5/29/2015 4:15:14 PM
No problems with Scribble... Except for the obvious delay for the moderator to review the comments before they are posted

by Casey 5/29/2015 4:15:15 PM
Thanks Harold...:0)

by Robin 5/29/2015 4:15:55 PM
@ Barb - only on my ipad. On the computer it works great.

by Suzanne 5/29/2015 4:16:43 PM
Phil...you are Awesome!

by Robin 5/29/2015 4:16:44 PM
Yeah I don't think it's freezing. Phil has to push the comments through manually. Takes a little time delay.

by Angela Freeman 5/29/2015 4:16:45 PM
No problem, Phil. I know you are doing your best.

by Barb 5/29/2015 4:16:46 PM
Thanks AmeeMan

by Robin 5/29/2015 4:16:55 PM
Has any mention been made of whether JH was on meds during these interviews…and whether they may have had any impact on his flat affect?

by Lynn 5/29/2015 4:17:02 PM
@Lynn Dr Reid stated rt off that JH was medicated during the interviews but nothing about his flat affect.

by Abrandt 5/29/2015 4:19:27 PM
As I was thinking about this last night, it became a question for me-- how do you differentiate insanity (not knowing what he did was wrong and what would happen) and just not caring what the consequence was?

by Suzi 5/29/2015 4:19:28 PM
Lynn your question has just been answered in the replay

by Harold Finch 5/29/2015 4:19:29 PM
flat affect is usually a sign of psych schizophrenia

by Tammy Garrison 5/29/2015 4:19:30 PM
@Lynn: that video clip just answered your question :

by Barb 5/29/2015 4:19:31 PM
"As I was thinking about this last night, it became a question for me-- how do you differentiate insanity (not knowing what he did was wrong and what would happen) and just not caring what the consequence was?"

If this was the test for insanity then every thief would go free.
