Theater shooting trial day 37: Defense to call first witnesses

Defense attorneys will call their first witnesses Thursday in the trial of James Holmes, who has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to killing 12 and injuring 70 others on July 20, 2012.

3rd & 7 37yd

Bishop had already spoken to the gunman at length, but Woodcock didn't know that at the time. Bishop is a social worker (I think)

Brauchler is coming off like a bully. These two men clearly do not like each other.

by Ruby 6/25/2015 9:57:45 PM
i wonder if they'll request he be deemed a hostile witness??

by debitwo 6/25/2015 9:57:46 PM
I had to stop painting because this Dr is making me crazy. Grrrr. Petulant little man - somebody is questioning my self-agrandizment.

by DocJ 6/25/2015 9:57:48 PM
Agreed NT8!!!

by Tammy 6/25/2015 9:57:48 PM
And JH starts to swivel.......

by Kristle 6/25/2015 9:57:50 PM
Can't wait to see Bracuhlers face when JH is found to be insane at time of shooting.

by Jarg 6/25/2015 9:57:51 PM
Mr. Brauchler is a good DA. The tone of his voice might sound harsh, but he is doing his job. Especially with how weak the testimony was with Mr. King- MO.

by EZ 6/25/2015 9:57:52 PM
@flip and @Mark both of you can stalk and harass me all you want, it doesn't change the fact that it's already been established that this POOR DR is NOT qualified to testify in this case. Do we really need to go back and badger him? Does the jury really need to sit for an even longer day for no reason? I don't think it's necessary and I think it's courtroom dramatics and bullying, nothing more.

by Lynn 6/25/2015 9:57:54 PM
Woodcock's voice getting shaky on some replies....

by flip 6/25/2015 9:57:58 PM
@Lori...you are so right! I saw video of that and it was brutal!

by Tammy 6/25/2015 9:57:59 PM
@Lori - exactly!!

by Mandy L 6/25/2015 9:58:10 PM
Amazing how this Dr can give such a detailed diagnosis of a patient after a 2 hour exam!.

by Marti 6/25/2015 9:58:42 PM
Higgs (?) did the same thing to one of the CU psychiatrists, Feinstein?

by Chipper 6/25/2015 9:58:44 PM
Juan Martinez was getting beyond frustrated with Arias' whack answers. She tried to argue symmantics.

by Kristle 6/25/2015 9:58:48 PM
- Objection
Question was if Woodcock was aware this could be a capital case. Objection to foundation overruled. Woodcock confirms he knew that

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 9:59:31 PM
Exactly Chipper...Higgs was downright rude with Feinstein.

by Marsha Laurienti 6/25/2015 9:59:34 PM
Guess I'll have to change my name now. Some sheeper is trying to post with it.

by Mark 6/25/2015 9:59:36 PM
Woodcock sounds defeated - like he's shrinking in his chair. My 5 year old does that when he gets caught doing something he shouldn't do

by MsMandi 6/25/2015 9:59:38 PM
I know ya'll are pro prosecutor but he's coming off combatitive to me.

by Rich Hinton 6/25/2015 9:59:46 PM
Woodcock says doctors knowing that need to be able to assess the reliability of what the patient is telling him

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:00:08 PM
This case is finally heating up, like a movie.

by Eric S. 6/25/2015 10:00:10 PM
@Lynn,but the doctor was deemed an expert by the judge?

by debitwo 6/25/2015 10:00:10 PM
Brauchler obnoxious?? What about Higgs' cross of Dr. Feinstein? Much more obnoxious! Feinstein was just a treating physician, not giving expert opinion. Woodcock's getting paid for this.

by casey 6/25/2015 10:00:25 PM
DA's have to be direct and right in your face to some degree, they are asking the jury to find JH guilty without a DOUBT!!! He has to be firm!!

by LG 6/25/2015 10:00:38 PM
It's probably subjective to who you think is right...to me the witness seems combative.

by Marsha Laurienti 6/25/2015 10:00:39 PM
@Rich Believe Me GB is not as harsh or loud as some Prosecutors when dealing with a witness that trying to twist facts.

by Abrandt 6/25/2015 10:00:58 PM
GB's job is to discredit this witness, just as it was King's job

by mandi 6/25/2015 10:01:00 PM
@Rich...he's just trying to trip him up on his own words. :) IMO

by Tammy 6/25/2015 10:01:01 PM
Woodcock clarifies that his evaluation was "very limited" and not forensic

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:01:26 PM
AC has King upset, his legs are shaking.

by Kristle 6/25/2015 10:01:38 PM
Even thou I think Brauchler is doing great but he does not have to be so harsh might hurt him doing that

by Sheri Reining 6/25/2015 10:01:45 PM
Brauchler needs to change his tone. The Defense did not act in this manner with the state's witnesses, and he is coming off as a bully and will anger -- and lose -- the jury. He can make his points without acting in this manner.

by Justice 6/25/2015 10:01:49 PM
King's right leg vibrating....

by flip 6/25/2015 10:02:04 PM
Check out King tapping his right foot

by Eric S. 6/25/2015 10:02:05 PM
Woodcock says he didn't know he could bring his computer, but wasn't sure he would even if he could

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:02:40 PM
Dr had 14 pages of handwritten notes instead

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:02:55 PM
@Kristie---you saw it first!

by flip 6/25/2015 10:02:58 PM
Objection: Your honor the prosecution is badgering the witness. lol I heard that somewhere.

by FMM 6/25/2015 10:02:59 PM
Brauchler is doing awesome. Some of the best cross examination I have seen.

by Amy 6/25/2015 10:03:00 PM
@Lynn, the doctor was deemed an expert by the judge!!

by LG 6/25/2015 10:03:01 PM
@Justice I guess you missed Higg's questioning of Dr. Feinstein.

by Abrandt 6/25/2015 10:03:02 PM
Guess we all noticed King's leg LOL

by Eric S. 6/25/2015 10:03:03 PM
There's no objection to tone of voice or nonverbal displays of disgust which both sides have used to their advantage.

by Kristle 6/25/2015 10:03:20 PM
IMO - Brachler will not lose the jury! They will be noticing that this Dr. is actually a Nitwit!
