King confirms 3:32 am

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:17:35 PM
Yeah.... he is really swiveling in his chair.

by Sherrie H. 6/25/2015 3:17:43 PM
No jury questions, Frank is dismissed

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:17:45 PM
@nervous I've been on a jury!

by LG 6/25/2015 3:17:50 PM
- New Witness
Defense calls Dr. Jonathan Woodcock, psychiatrist expert for the defense

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:18:37 PM
The swiveling means nervousness

by Tjq 6/25/2015 3:19:35 PM
Here's Woody...

by mandi 6/25/2015 3:19:35 PM
@Phil has anyone said what was the white powder on floor of the cell that was found after he fell in the cell?

by LG 6/25/2015 3:19:36 PM
What is this two hour video they mentioned. Hope its not JH standing for an hour and then lying down for an hour.

by bob 6/25/2015 3:19:37 PM
Woodcock said he is interested in studying brain function, trained in neurology and psychiatry

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:20:05 PM
I would be up at 3:32 am with worry about how to get out of this mess if it were me.

by Suzanne 6/25/2015 3:20:08 PM
@LG: I don't believe so

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:20:19 PM
I think that backfired on the DT

by NT8 6/25/2015 3:20:21 PM
is woodcock the guy that only saw JH for like 5 hours total

by bob 6/25/2015 3:21:06 PM
Ty Phil

by LG 6/25/2015 3:21:07 PM
Goodmorning

by Tara 6/25/2015 3:21:08 PM
Yeah, not just massively swiveling, but if you pay close attention, he won't stop moving his mouth. In one way or another, he is mouthing, lipping, puffing his cheeks at times.

by Kay Dee 6/25/2015 3:21:08 PM
@Suzanne...exactly right!

by Tammy 6/25/2015 3:21:09 PM
@NT8 - I think so too.

by Angela Freeman 6/25/2015 3:21:15 PM
Nurse was good witness for PT

by Jewel 6/25/2015 3:21:16 PM
when you can sleep all day you tend to wake up at weird times. JH mentioned he sleeps a lot cause he has nothing else to do

by bob 6/25/2015 3:21:17 PM
To Infinity and BEYOND!!

by Kristle 6/25/2015 3:21:18 PM
King is having Woodcock explain his resume, training

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:21:32 PM
isn't the other video of JH acting up in his cell - throwing feces, getting naked, etc

by mandi 6/25/2015 3:21:46 PM
What's this Doctor's history with JH?

by Tammy 6/25/2015 3:21:47 PM
@Kristie LOL!

by Tired 6/25/2015 3:21:52 PM
@Jewel...agreed!

by Tammy 6/25/2015 3:22:06 PM
@Nervous:I'm sure a lot of people have been on a jury before. I was actually called for this jury and even though a part of me was extremely curious and wanted to sit for this trial....I knew in my heart that I would have a hard time sentencing a man to die and an equally harder time not sentencing this man to meet his maker for his eternal sentencing.

by Stephany 6/25/2015 3:22:09 PM
LOL!!-@Bob--I almost spit out my coffee.

by mama d 6/25/2015 3:22:15 PM
DT going to make him a SME

by Kristle 6/25/2015 3:22:27 PM
Seriously? I really don't want to see the feces thing.

by Tammy Garrison 6/25/2015 3:22:42 PM
@mandi - I wonder if we will get to see that one...I wonder if I want to see it...

by Angela Freeman 6/25/2015 3:23:05 PM
I have to admit, I'm curious about the video. But yes, I could do without the poop smearing.

by Angela Freeman 6/25/2015 3:23:25 PM
Anyting to do with Feces....has got to be objected too!!! That is discusting.

by Tired 6/25/2015 3:24:03 PM
I know DT brought that subject up previously -- just a guess that's on their video

by mandi 6/25/2015 3:24:11 PM
Humm might be a good thing videos are not very clear

by Jewel 6/25/2015 3:24:42 PM
I would stipulate the fece smearing if I was AC. No need to see that. LOL

by Tired 6/25/2015 3:25:36 PM
if I remember he saw him for a few hours on the day it happened. then one hour a few weeks later. then made some report about his mental state years later. plus he is being paid by the defense. and his interview wasn't done alone

by bob 6/25/2015 3:25:38 PM
Think around Nov. 2012 when JH had his psychotic break... think it came up in Dr. Reid's interview

by mandi 6/25/2015 3:25:39 PM
Poo slinging is always a sure sign of mental illness, right? That's why politicians prefer mud.

by jward12 6/25/2015 3:25:40 PM
I wonder how many times they teach in law school is the appropriate number of times to remove and replace your glasses during questioning.

by Angela Freeman 6/25/2015 3:25:42 PM
Feces throwing and smearing is something inmates do a lot. Nothing mentioned so far is out of ordinary for someone that is caged 23 hours a day.

by bob 6/25/2015 3:25:55 PM
I do wonder if JH is a good finger painter thoough.....

by Tired 6/25/2015 3:26:03 PM
@Jewel - Lol right? Any gross-ness we see will at least be fuzzy and not super visible anyway.
