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.

So JH checked off he didn't have any Hallucinations on the test but told the Drs he did is that not malingering??
-
I think John Wayne is appropriate at this point... Mr Holmes, "it is easy to be stupid and hard to be smart." IMO he tried to do worse on the 2nd IQ test.

@oklahomakj Agreed. No shot JH is getting the death penalty. He'll be in a mental institution for the rest of his life.
-
ummm I would think the meds he was on would slow him down..this is really reaching

Been watching for weeks, first time post,,,,, Anica and the whole Channel 7 team are doing a great job. I follow the blog and for the most part the blog has been interesting & informative, with the occasional light hearted joke to ease the tension of a serious trial. I respect all opinions & comments and appreciate them. (anica, you do a great job as moderator.)

I think this has gone down a rabbit hole and no one knows how to pull it back...

Mr. Brauchler: "....I'm confused about something..." Uh-oh, look out Dr. Hanlon.
-
I feel sorry for this witness. It seems like he's getting attacked from both sides now.
-
Don't feel sorry for the witnesses. Especially the experts, they get paid a lot of money to get beat up
-
-
Is it just me or does it seem like their side-bars take longer than other cases? Or have they been about the same? -
That line of questioning explains why they were asking about the cigs/cigars found in his car the night of the killing... I know that some the other day wondering about that... it has to do with the testing and if it effects it...
-
Well, this has been much better than the sleeper we had yesterday afternoon! : )
-
This poor witness, he is about as bruised as the 4 bananas I used to make my Streusel Banana Bread.
-
Didn't the dr tell Brauchler that JH DID get a score of zero on the puzzle test for going one second over time, then he told King that JH DID NOT get a zero, just a lower score? Or did I hear that wrong? -
-
@anica just ignore people who bash Brauchler. Shouldn't impact your job. Just post your facts.
-
I think Hanlon is lying when he says King never told him what to put in his report. -
King is now standing in the middle of the burning cane field.

I'm out for the week and weekend .... thanks every one for another event filled week and to Channel 7 & Anica, Phil and Marshall for all your hard work and have a fantastic Holiday weekend!!

-
I'm done reading/posting comments about Brauchler. Take that discussion to Facebook or YouTube or some other venue. -
Gotta run. Dinner with the kids. Happy 4th and see you next week.

My husband dragged me away this morning to play golf. I've listened to a bit while golfing. When I mentioned to our golf friends that I am hooked on this trial he said that Alex Sullivan was a good friend of his. Puts things in a different perspective. I'll watch what I missed this weekend. Looks the defense isn't going out on a strong note for a 3 day weekend?
-
Just an observation: I have noticed that Holms has changed his posture from hands folded in lap to resting chin on hand, occasional hand over mouth...Janine Driver (deception specialist) would consider that posture as show showing deception.
-
Is the DT talking to Holmes? I think that's the first time I've noticed that happen?

Jury question: Why, if you stated that talking to the patient's family is so important, would you not stand by your belief and tell the defense it was something you needed to do?
Dr. Hanlon: As a result of being told I would not be allowed, I chose to proceed and conduct the evaluation I agreed to do. It was not ideal to me but I capitulated. - Quote
-
Whatever she & jh are discussing made him smile, blush and swivel..
-
-
The jury is questioning this witness' reliability with the first question.
-
- Quote
Jury question: Why review any data other than data provided by the defense?
Dr. Hanlon: I reviewed... a massive amount of data... I chose to review data I thought was relevant to the questions asked of me. - Quote

Dr. Hanlon: There is no subjective scoring or analysis of scoring in neuropsychological testing.
"The scores are what they are." - Quote

-
@jv yes the DT do talk to James Holmes once in awhile. About what I have no idea.
-
She's probably telling James don't worry, you're not gonna get the death penalty.

Jury question: Could the slowing down of test taking be a form of malingering, if the patient knows how the tests work?
Dr. Hanlon: There is a remote possibility... there were multiple timed tests that he performed better on. - Quote
-
- Quote
Jury question: Could a lack of intellectual stimulation contribute to lower scores?
Dr. Hanlon: Isolation is more likely to cause emotional changes than intellectual changes. - Quote
