"Would you agree with me that we wouldn't have to do that, that we wouldn't have to rely on your notes, if we had a video of your 2 hour interview?"
Woodcock agrees

@ Why does it matter how much he gets paid???

by Joey 6/25/2015 10:04:03 PM
Believe Me if AC were too mean/loud/nasty the Judge would tell him to cool it. This is normal cross examination.

by Abrandt 6/25/2015 10:04:05 PM
poor Dr. Woody lol

by Goliath_Fish 6/25/2015 10:04:05 PM
The defense did do the same. The female Pubic Defender was much worse with the state's dr,

Woodcock confirms normal guidance is to not have members of defense team in the room for interview. Bishop (who was member of defense staff) was present

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:05:13 PM
I'm just being all "law and order" :)

by FMM 6/25/2015 10:05:15 PM
@MandyL...I completely agree with you!

by Tammy 6/25/2015 10:05:17 PM
JH swiveling again.....love you Brauchler!

by flip 6/25/2015 10:05:19 PM
And the JUDGE qualified this Dr as an expert -- whether Brauchler or anyone else likes it or not.

by Justice 6/25/2015 10:05:19 PM
Clarification Bishop is a public defender investigator and has a master degree in social work

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:05:55 PM
this dr. is contradicting himself

by mandi 6/25/2015 10:06:36 PM
"you're an expert" Love it!!!

by Marti 6/25/2015 10:06:37 PM
Woodcock: b-duh, b-duh, b-duh

by flip 6/25/2015 10:06:45 PM
woodcock seems scared LOL He is stumbling

by Sheri Reining 6/25/2015 10:06:45 PM
JH looks bored

by Eric S. 6/25/2015 10:06:46 PM
good point why was there no video

by Sheri Reining 6/25/2015 10:06:47 PM
Brauchler is just like any other politician -- trying to use this case in his bid for Governor. There was no need to waste millions of taxpayers $$ to bring this case to trial -- the end result will be the same, IMO...

by Justice 6/25/2015 10:06:54 PM
Brauchler asked if Bishop provided an answer at a point in the notes, and Woodcock says he can't be sure based on his notes

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:08:04 PM
@ Justice - and per the judge, it's up to the jury to determine if he's a quack or not.

by Mark 6/25/2015 10:08:05 PM
Brauchler for Governor! I'd vote for him, if I still lived in Colorado.

by flip 6/25/2015 10:08:20 PM
Woodcock only transcribed his notes 2 years later

"I don't have a primary memory of that entire interview, which is why I took notes"

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:09:30 PM
Not all psychiatrists use video. I wouldn't vote for Brauchler regardless. He is just another "murderer" going for the death penalty.

by lildeuce32 6/25/2015 10:09:36 PM
Woodcock is not being fully candid!

by Amy 6/25/2015 10:09:37 PM
I respectfully disagree with you @Justice. Brauchler is speaking for the murder victims. I bet their families have a different opinion as well. JMO!

by Mandy L 6/25/2015 10:09:38 PM
- Objection
King wants to give Woodcock more time to answer questions, overruled

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:10:02 PM
Well for the DT, Play the tune "for whom the bell tolls" Stick a fork in this case now.

by NT8 6/25/2015 10:10:04 PM
@Justice...as I've commented before to your same positing, Brachler and the PD team conferred with the victims and their families before bring this to trail... they didn't not did he just make the choice

by LG 6/25/2015 10:10:05 PM
@Justice how is he like every politician if he is trying to bring justice to the victims and their families????

by Joey 6/25/2015 10:10:07 PM
dr is so busted

by texas 6/25/2015 10:10:07 PM
Words in the notes are sometimes verbatim, often summary, Woodcock said

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:10:29 PM
14 pages of notes

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:10:43 PM
I will vote for him!

by deb 6/25/2015 10:10:45 PM
Lunch lunch lunch!!!!!

by Jewel 6/25/2015 10:10:46 PM
Holy Moly...this isnt looking good for the docs credibility

by debitwo 6/25/2015 10:10:47 PM
I'm not sure about this doctor.....jeeesh. What is his deal? Is he nervous? Blanking out?

by lildeuce32 6/25/2015 10:10:47 PM
I want justice! Brauchler has worked very hard, and he can use it later if needed.

Brauchler pushes the video issue again. Woodcock says that without video, "I am left the professional arbiter"

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 10:11:09 PM
The Dr. just wanted a good chunck of change!

by Amy 6/25/2015 10:11:16 PM
@Jewel...hahahahahaha!

by Tammy 6/25/2015 10:11:31 PM
He's not capable in a lot of areas apparently.

by Mark 6/25/2015 10:11:32 PM
Woodcock confirmed with defendant he stopped taking medications as early as May, gunman told him
