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

Dr Woodcock says mid 20s is common time for onset of these symptoms

dr knows he has to answer questions without rambling to the judge

Dr Woodcock says he ruled out autism because this is typical symptoms of schizo-type disorders and uncommon of autism, specifically the onset timing

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:10:54 PM
Orman picked up on the answer concerning violence in schizoaffective patients. Dr. Reid's testimony suggested something very different from Woodcock's answer. My guess is there might be some PT follow-up with Dr. Woodcock on his answer.

@Mandi, he has learned Samour won't play with his dodging and evasive answers.

by NT8 6/26/2015 10:11:04 PM
I think Dr. Woodcock is answering these questions more quickly and succinctly is because the DA isn't asking them and because he doesn't want to offend the jury as they are asking the questions now.

I was labelled with "flat affect" when I was just delivering my jokes in "deadpan" style.

Dr Woodcock says that lack of antisocial rule breaking behavior distinguishes schizoaffective disorder from antisocial personality.

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:12:16 PM
Dr Woodcock adds that he thinks there was a sense of struggle here

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:13:11 PM
Dr Woodcock says his judgement that defendant was psychotic at the time of the fall, because he'd already seen the gunman and thought he was psychotic. Also subsequent review of records showed nothing had changed and this was part of the transition to the "florid state" that led to hospitalization

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:14:15 PM
@Tad Dry Humor requires delivery in the setting.

by NT8 6/26/2015 10:14:20 PM
Woocock's almost starting to sound competent.

Dr Woodcock says he wanted to make point about knowing the date of the shooting by July 12 that he believes defendant was psychotic by that time. "Assessing his decision making capacity through that time is really obscured by the density of his psychosis."

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:15:29 PM
So where was the thunder when this doc said I found him Insane? Did I miss that?

Dr Woodcock says Mr Bishops presence may have had some impact on the interview, but that he believes it was limited to awareness and defendant was still responsive to questions

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:16:35 PM
Too late Doc, you can't fix your flawed testimony IMHO.

by NT8 6/26/2015 10:17:29 PM
Woodcock putting foot in mouth....

by flip 6/26/2015 10:17:30 PM
Dr Woodcock says he would've had a different approach and set of considerations if he was hired to do a full blown examination

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:17:57 PM
The doctor seems awfully more comfortable answering questions from the jury, seems to come across a lot better now....

by cr 6/26/2015 10:18:53 PM
Dr Woodcock admits "quite frankly maybe I should have" returned call to the jail doctor, but says he had impression from the defense that they were taking care of it

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:19:53 PM
@cr he can say what ever he wants, there will be no cross on these questions. Lie away doc

by NT8 6/26/2015 10:21:11 PM
almost feel as if he is pandering to the jury to curry favor

by mandi 6/26/2015 10:21:13 PM
Hangin King out to dry! IMO

by Sally Mander 6/26/2015 10:21:14 PM
I have a feeling we are in for the same types of questions for the next several DT witness's... so buck up everyone :)

by LG 6/26/2015 10:21:16 PM
I wonder if Woodcock started with an open mind (like Reid did). Not really, it seems like from the get go, he came in to back up the defense hence he had Bishop with him. I really don't like the fact that Bishop answered some of the questions.

by Suzanne 6/26/2015 10:21:20 PM
Wow, so much assumptions made......so many i's not dotted, so many t's not crossed.

by Stephany 6/26/2015 10:21:21 PM
oh boy......didn't get "permission" to return Dr. Moser's calls......ouch!

by flip 6/26/2015 10:21:47 PM
Dr Woodcock says he considered the gunman had done such a horrible thing but was notably/significantly unemotional about it

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:22:25 PM
@cr the AC didn't put up with his lies. Woodcock can just talk and not be challenge for the truth.

by Suzanne 6/26/2015 10:22:30 PM
Dr Woodcock "I think that you cannot separate his illness... from the flatness of his affect"

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:22:50 PM
@Sally Mander....LOL--my thoughts exactly! DT's got some answerin' to do for that.

by flip 6/26/2015 10:22:51 PM
Holmes seems to be laughing when everyone else is laughing. Is that in conflict with him having a flat affect? [Question for Phil]

by CindyL 6/26/2015 10:23:13 PM
@CindyL: I believe the jury has been instructed not to connect current appearance to the time in question

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:23:50 PM
Dr Woodcock says total time he spent with gunman ever was 3hours 45mins and gunman was able to communicate effectively. Pupils were large during first interview, not second

by Phil Tenser 6/26/2015 10:24:31 PM
3 hours and 45 minutes???? that is a lie!

by Suzanne 6/26/2015 10:25:00 PM
thought it was 2 hours and 45

by omg he still rambles on and... 6/26/2015 10:26:33 PM
He goes from 2 hours to 2 hours and 45 minutes, now 3 hours and 45 minutes. Wow!!

by Suzanne 6/26/2015 10:26:34 PM
Total time. Suzanne. Including both visits.

by Tammy Garrison 6/26/2015 10:26:35 PM
what a hired gun

by texas 6/26/2015 10:26:37 PM
it's difficult because it is so gradual.

by Tad Gilbreath 6/26/2015 10:27:04 PM
No cross I raise a flag on this. could be all lies

by NT8 6/26/2015 10:27:06 PM
Go Doc! Have your 15 minutes!

by cr 6/26/2015 10:27:07 PM
why didn't pt bring in evidence from jh's professors regarding things he learned in class/lab that would prove he researched how to act insane? I believe pt brought it upin opening statements.

by naturegurl 6/26/2015 10:27:16 PM
This jury asks some of the best questions. They should run the courtroom. I understand them better than the lawyers at times.
