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.
-
Yesterday after the jury was dismissed Holmes put his hand up to his chin and held his jaw with his right hand. Yet all during the day and on almost all days his hands are down on his lap and he sits stoically. He is slightly more animated when the jury is not in the room. To me this shows he's been coached and maybe a lot less affected by a mental disorder that his "experts" say he is. -
-
This prosecutor is unlikable and far too abrasive. its obnoxious
-
OMG I love Brauchler. He makes the "expert" witnesses look stupid no matter how many PHDS they have -
Whether you approve or disapprove of Brauchler's delivery, it's apparent he's done his homework,
-
Just as the defense has to put on a vigorous defense for JH, the prosecutors must put on a vigorous offense for the State. Pointing out flaws and discrepancies of experts is part of that. The court system is an adversarial one and everyone is just doing their jobs.

@Me...I am hoping that you will be able to express your views in another way that will not go unpublished...I am truly curious as to why you have such a problem with the Prosecution Team in this trial...
-
-
Unbelievable, this trial should be stopped right now. Ch. 7 does not respect due process showing reruns of the prosecution during the lunch break. It stinks badly. No wonder this blog is a voice for prejudice and bias, not justice, and certainly not open-mindedness. This trial has nothing to do with the tragedy of the victims. Ch. 7 should be ashamed. What did the judge say about this? Did he know, what was happening while at lunch? Calling his office to ask.
-
If it wasn't for AC I would have fallen into a coma watching this weeks ago
-
Brauchler has been reprimanded by the judge several times for tweeting and texting DURING trial. He likes the sound of his own voice. He showboats with every witness. He likes the camera when he's not in the courtroom just a bit too much. He bashes every single Doctor and professional that has been in this trial. He's arrogant and very, very unprofessional with the way he conducts himself in the courtroom. That is why I am "so against" the prosecutor. And before anyone jumps down my throat for being a JH supporter, don't. Don't go there. I can dislike the prosecutor, doesn't mean I support the defense.
-
-
Now GB refers to the shooter as the defendant?? He's not consistent.
-
Brauchler's demeanor and delivery method is intentional. He must take and keep the upper hand in cross - he cannot become intimidated by an expert witness. -
-
-
King whines a lot. Can he just simply ask the question without whining?
-
okx.... why do you come in here EVERY day and cause issues.... are you bored?
-
@Robin Don't patronize me. YOU asked why and I told you why. I gave you my opinion. I'm not feeding the trolls....lol
-
That's not it Dave. GB is being a jerk, arrogant and on his high horse.
-
@Me...I, by no means am implying that you are a JH supporter...but, am curious as to why you think that Attorney Brauchler is so offensive...he is doing his job...it is a trial practice...he has a job to prove beyond a reasonable doubt...his "method" is intentional...he has to be somewhat intimidating to witnesses on cross...it is his job...
-
Brauchler spent a lot of time to be PREPARED. More I can say about King.
-
OMG.... what the heck is JH getting access to using those items to use as a club?!?
-
-
I think if I was in trouble Brauchler would be my choice in defense counsel
-
I think this forum often (not always) focuses on the wrong details and information. It is not about the lawyers it is about the evidence, testimony and credibility of witnesses that is most important! Let's not give the specific lawyers any more attention than necessary. :p
-
@Me...??? What..."feeding trolls"...IDK what you are talking about...
-
I wonder if the jury are as divided by Brauchler's style as our little community is....
-
-
If you were a family member of a victim wouldn't you want your attorney to be as prepared as possible. AC represents the victims.
-
-
Brauchler doesn't sound angry at the witness, but at the defense for skewing the results or report, and it even sounds to me like the witness is kind of warming up to Brauchler because of what he was denied. Plus, Brauchler was able, again to get the one and only gir'friend/sexual encounter before the jury's ears.
-
Why is it every afternoon these trolls roll in here? All morning it was great! Now I have to get out my cereal for flakes!
-
-
Brauchler's job is to be a truth finder, nothing more or less.
-
@ LjM : I'd like to think that this chat is reflects what may be going on in the jurors' minds at any given time. For the most part, comments are quite apt, and may reflect what they're thinking.
-
IMHO...no shot JH gets the death penalty. First of all its Colorado, second he is mentally ill and insane and third this Brauchler is an egotistical nutjob.
-
Come on, everyone...let's all agree to disagree. Nevertheless, you cannot argue my next point. While at home, Mr. King wears clown shoes while eating fun-dip and watching M.A.S.H. re-runs. GB wears only suspenders and boxer shorts while smoking a cigar, watching himself drink coffee in a full length mirror.
-
-
Please quit bashing the Attorneys in this case, they all are just doing their jobs.
-
It's not about whether the jury can stand Brauchler or not, it's about listening to and weighing the evidence in order to reach a verdict. If they're going to base their verdict on how they feel personally about Brauchler, then they shouldn't be on the jury in the first place. Brauchler, whether anyone likes his style or not, whether anyone agrees with him or not,is fighting for justice for the victims! This trial, at the end of the day, is about justice for the victims not a personality contest.
-
Seems the more effective AC is the more the bashing happens.
