Theater shooting trial day 42: Defense to show more video, call witnesses
Defense attorneys plan to call their last witnesses of the week and probably show more video to the jurors.

He doesn't meet the criteria for having a spectrum disorder and he does not meet the criteria for antisocial personality disorder if you were looking at the qualifiers in the DSM V -
Several diagnoses are bantered about these days with great misunderstanding about them. I keep hearing people refer to emotional people as "bipolar" and socially awkward people as having "Asperger's." I find it frustrating. And, as others have said, I'm not sure what difference it makes if he is on the spectrum as far as insanity goes.
-
Someone said it here a few days ago...defense is just throwing stuff at the wall and hoping something/anything sticks!

I have to 2 Bachelor degrees, 2 Master degrees, and a Doctoral degree. -
I think they are trying to infer "reasonable doubt" by throwing in any mental illness symptoms and diagnoses they can get, even though none of these illnesses would prove intent or lack of knowing right from wrong.
-

-
Even if they prove that he has Aspergers or Autisim.... there are thousands of individuals with this condition who don't kill people. His murderous actions can't be linked to being on the spectrum. Sheesh!!
-
It would be interesting if we had a total hours that all the doctors have spent with JH from the defense compared to the total the PT have had?
-
ALL of this is a moot point since this is ALL stuff that happened AFTER the shooting and NOT before
-
I wish King would stop trying to be funny. He can't deliver and it sounds pathetic.
-
DT is throwing fist-fulls of mud (mental illnesses) at the wall to see what might stick. Guess it's all they have.
-
what a mess, seriously. This means absolutely nothing, and has no bearing on his sanity at the time of the shooting. -
-
Are future witnesses allowed to watch the trial before they testify? -
-
Am I the only one looking forward to the closing arguments?
-
We get it, Mr. King. This guy is credible. We seriously get it. 20 minutes of credibility conversation is quite enough.
-
What what was lacking in this dude's life that he would need so much education. Lol
-
-
I don't want to hear King cry about not having enough time to finish, when he spends so much time with this doctor.
-
-
The longer the DT drags out this case, the more taxpayer money they and their witnesses make. -
-
did he say he was not asked to give a sanity eval on JH? Then why is he here?

Dr. Hanlon: "No" - Quote

Brauchler: "You are not testifying about the defendant's mental health?"
Dr. Hanlon: "Correct." - Quote

Brauchler is bashing Dr. Hanlon for only being a criminal DEFENSE expert - never hired by prosecutors.

AC is shredding and sinking battleships this morning!! Lookout!!

Ed Gein, John Wayne Gacy and Jeffery Dahmer all plead not guild by reason of insanity. The only one that was found not guilty was Ed Gein. He spent the rest of his life in a mental ward. The other 2 were put to death. They were more convincing than JH.
-
Why is it so important that he has only been hired by the defense? Does that just make him a hired gun so to speak?
