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.

Questions?

do you guys think the Judge is pro prosecution?

by NT8 6/26/2015 6:54:01 PM
@NT8: Nope, he's a judge

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:54:07 PM
b. has done nothing to help anything but the republican party. although JH planned, so do a lot of people for a lot of things, but don't do it Rebuttal, similar but different guidelines for legal decision of insanity will conflict doctors.

Let's be clear, Dr. Guhr helped write the DSM-V, she did not write it alone. And, in the writing of the book several of the authors had disagreements on the changes.

@Phil It feels like King is borderline testifying and putting words in Dr. Woodcock's mouth on Direct. Should the DA be objecting or is that strategy to not object?

by Lori Butterfield 6/26/2015 6:54:17 PM
@LoriButterfield: thanks for that question

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:54:21 PM
Love how Dr Woodcock can talk and speak clearly when King is asking questions but not when Brauchler did.... doesn't play to well in my book!!

by LG 6/26/2015 6:54:27 PM
Dr. Reid said he wasn't sure about the delusions.

by Tammy Garrison 6/26/2015 6:54:33 PM
Thank you Judge I'm hungry!!! ;)

by LG 6/26/2015 6:54:34 PM
I find it so coincidental that this Doc came out of his "Mile High Fog" with his recollection of things with Mr. King vs. Mr. Brauchler.

by Stephany 6/26/2015 6:54:36 PM
@ Phil - Ask is it normal/good/bad for AC to go after the witness like he did.

by Suzanne 6/26/2015 6:54:40 PM
@Suzanne: thanks for the question

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:54:45 PM
@Phil--Has Mr. King so far been successful (or not) in rehabilitating this witness?

by flip 6/26/2015 6:54:47 PM
@flip: sorry i missed that question

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:54:55 PM
He is the first of 2 doctors by the defense?

by Tad Gilbreath 6/26/2015 6:55:04 PM
@TadGilbreath: correct

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:55:07 PM
Why is it so difficult for people to understand that the legal definition of insane extremely difficult to meet? So many think that anyone that does a 'crazy' act must therefore be insane. It's not that easy to get away with killing people! This is a good thing.

by Mark 6/26/2015 6:55:13 PM
So glad to see some others similarly also want to solely focus on this trial. That's what we're here for, amirite!

by cr 6/26/2015 6:55:21 PM
@ Phil Thanks. After reading CO law, severe mental health is still the primary basis for insanity, although it does state right and wrong. It also defines right and wrong very narrowly according to social norms.

halftime stats: Objections 9 3 overrides, @ 33% 6 Sustained at 67% Sustained are for the PT.

by NT8 6/26/2015 6:55:30 PM
What a morning and afternoon! That testimony from Dr. Woodcock was really intense.

by EZ 6/26/2015 6:55:32 PM
Did the defense ask to have this witness be considered a hostile witness? Did I miss something.

by Hill 6/26/2015 6:56:24 PM
Im surprised to hear some of you find Brauchler harsh. I don't think he is it all. I don't think he even comes close to being near brash, but perhaps this is bcause us British are more brash in nature.

by cr 6/26/2015 6:56:24 PM
There are video ads popping up during your broadcast & the volume is higher than the trial broadcast. How Obnoxious!

by marcy 6/26/2015 6:56:28 PM
@Marshall & Phil--how much do the attorneys in this case know about the jury they are playing to? Is it possible that Mr. Brauchler has good cause to think the jury might be receptive to his bulldog approach with Dr. Woodcock?

by flip 6/26/2015 6:56:29 PM
@marcy: Youttube controls the ads, but not us. Sorry

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:56:37 PM
I'd still like to explore that second prong of intent. So all the planning, purchasing and bomb set up wouldn't be intent?

by Tammy Garrison 6/26/2015 6:56:42 PM
@Phil--no problemo, you and Marshall did a great job reviewing/discussing the morning's proceedings.

by flip 6/26/2015 6:56:54 PM
We're going to step out for lunch now. Back to talk soon

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 6:56:56 PM
@Phil and @Marshall Thanks so much for answering my question.

by Lori Butterfield 6/26/2015 7:00:07 PM
wow, chills thinking we would get a verdict on 7/20 .....

by colo 6/26/2015 7:44:31 PM
Is this live?

by CindyL 6/26/2015 7:44:33 PM
@CindyL: replay until the lunch recess ends

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 7:44:39 PM
What time is the end of lunch recess?

by CindyL 6/26/2015 7:46:49 PM
@CindyL: I'd estimate 10-15 minutes longer

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 7:47:02 PM
Welcome back @Phil hope you had a nice lunch!!

by LG 6/26/2015 7:50:55 PM
@LG: to all of you too

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 7:53:08 PM
If he is found not guilty on reason of insanity, then is he put into the psyciatric hospital? Some people get out much later than those who are "normal" and commit murder.

by Tad Gilbreath 6/26/2015 7:57:38 PM
@TadGilbreath: This was addressed in the instructions hearing on Wednesday. Defendant would be committed and could not be released without the approval of the court

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 7:58:32 PM
Court resuming now

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 8:01:22 PM
Juror 17's note, that they can't work on July 17

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 8:02:02 PM
Possible PT strategy may eventually be to link Dr. Woodcock's ineffective testimony and half-baked conclusions to Dr. Gur's basic conclusion, i.e., that Holmes was insane at the time of his murderous attack. The PT will definitely need a change of approach with Dr. Raquel Gur (UPenn)--she is very highly qualified and is Director of the Schizophrenia Research Center @ UPenn. It will be interesting to see how the PT cross-examines her.

by flip 6/26/2015 8:02:25 PM
Based on that juror's note, Judge says we should plan to take July 17 off

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 8:02:47 PM
King says he's noticed that juror 118 tends to appear to be very tired and or sleeping at times
