Theater shooting trial day 38: Dr. Woodcock to return to the stand, jail video likely to be shown

Dr. Jonathan Woodcock, the defense's expert, is going to return to the stand for the remainder of his cross-examination Friday. James Holmes' attorneys are also likely to screen for the jury another jail video showing the gunman in November of 2012, around the time that they say his mental health condition became aggravated in the jail.

3rd & 7 37yd

Also keep in mind that the VAST majority of killings are done by people who do NOT have a mental illness.

Finally AC is done with this testimony. AC did a good job, it's just the way on how the Dr was responding to the questions was intense.

What is that thing that the judge holds up to his and the attorney's mouth sometimes during bench conferences but not always?

King asks Woodcock if defense staff ever expressed difficulty reading his notes? No

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:01:16 PM
Woodcock confirms there was a number of points in the transcription where he couldn't read his own writing. "I never anticipated having to transcribe them or make them available"

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:01:49 PM
- Objection
Objection, overruled

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:01:55 PM
"The notes were taken for my benefit"

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:02:06 PM
@Della...a mic so the court reporter can hear them. If you notice she puts on headphones too. :)

by TammyC 6/26/2015 6:02:10 PM
Suddenly, Woody will recall everything

by Goliath_Fish 6/26/2015 6:02:14 PM
@Della - I think it's a microphone that allows the court recorder to know what they're saying, but no one else can hear them.

by jward12 6/26/2015 6:02:18 PM
Oh please allow Woody to go home now. I wanna pour him a stiff drink, poor man.

by cr 6/26/2015 6:02:22 PM
Hm, a doc that can't legibly read another docs notes....amazing!

by Stephany 6/26/2015 6:02:24 PM
Did Dr. Metzner record his examination? No Does that mean it was bad? "That is not a recognized standard"

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:03:02 PM
Did Dr. Gur record it? No

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:03:11 PM
And King lists other doctors in the same way

"Is there a danger perhaps in placing too much emphasis on small details in a recorded examination?"
Woodcock says "It has to be understood in the context of all the information and that is what the professional examination is really all about"

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:04:42 PM
@Stephany - Illegible handwriting is a prerequisite for becoming a doctor. Half of the doctors I've known can't read their *own* handwriting! haha

by jward12 6/26/2015 6:04:46 PM
@cr--ha ha! I don't think he will need your help on that....probably visit a neighborhood bar as soon as he leaves the courtroom.

by flip 6/26/2015 6:04:55 PM
Dr. Hamiln? Dr. Gray? Dr Guzo? Are those experts for the prosecution?

by Tammy Garrison 6/26/2015 6:04:56 PM
@TammyGarrison: Not sure yet, but both sides may have had many exams completed, only have to call the ones they deem relevant to their case

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:05:18 PM
Obviously the DT is worried about the impact of Reid's testimony .

Video taping should be the norm.

by debbie 6/26/2015 6:07:17 PM
PT strategy is working well....King's softball witness-rehabilitation questions make it obvious..."Dr. Woodcock is our guy"

by flip 6/26/2015 6:07:18 PM
"shadows" and "movements" are signs of schizophenia

by Tad Gilbreath 6/26/2015 6:07:23 PM
@flip I just hope this hasn't sent him over the edge lol

by cr 6/26/2015 6:07:24 PM
@Jward: I have always joked that about doctors myself, I used to pride myself on being able to read most doctor's handwritings....only met a few that I couldn't read.

by Stephany 6/26/2015 6:08:45 PM
SINCE AC seem to LOVE it when Dr says DELUSIONAL ... so is delusional NOT considered INSANTIY? sorry - tuning in late here ...

Defendant's IQ decreased from 127 to 113 in the year between two tests

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:12:20 PM
"It is not diagnostic, but it would be consistent with this course"

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:12:32 PM
@debbie Videotaping creates distractions during interviews that's why most doctors do not use them. People do not act sincere and/or act different when a camera is in front of them or when they know it's there.

by #LoveWins 6/26/2015 6:12:46 PM
@Stephany - yeah, I was a paramedic for a few years and got really good at reading henscratch. Now it helps me read the HR and internal paperwork that people fill out at my current job. LoL

by jward12 6/26/2015 6:12:50 PM
King says other doctor noted no other explanation for decrease in IQ

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:13:08 PM
this dr. is why the judge instructs the jury they can believe all, some or none of the experts testimony

by mandi 6/26/2015 6:13:17 PM
Wait. Didn't he say before that he didn't know anything about his grades other than the fact that he had failed his prelim exam? I think he just contradicted himself again.

by Tammy Garrison 6/26/2015 6:13:25 PM
This is only enabling Holmes from thinking he did anything wrong.

by CindyL 6/26/2015 6:13:26 PM
IQ tests can be easily manipulated

by mandi 6/26/2015 6:13:27 PM
King brings conversation back to Plan A/B/C conversation

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:14:02 PM
Do you remember saying to MR. B "That didn't make sense?" yes

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:14:21 PM
Did "I hate everyone make sense to you?" No

"they don't make sense in the usual way. when one understands his psychopathology and the delusional structure that he has, they can at least be put in context."

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:15:05 PM
signs of schizophrenia can be looked up very easy and be shared with his Dr's. and if he did in fact share them with his Dr's and they didn't get him help that makes me wonder if he really shared them before or after the shootings happening... imo

Gunman said about theater that he "turned them into numbers"

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:15:53 PM
my son has a very high IQ and didn't want to be in the accelerated programs - he knew exactly how many questions to get wrong to get the score he wanted

by mandi 6/26/2015 6:15:59 PM
Yesterday the Dr. stated that, "Intelligence has nothing to do with mental illness."
