Wonder what kind of camp this was.

@Phil: QUESTION: Do these defense witnesses have to testify on the behalf of the defendant? The DT has the power to subpena these defense witnesses, so they have no choice to testify, right?

Hope Mr Menchaca gives us a clue about why JH was sent/went to this particular camp. Did someone see emotional illness and feel that this was the right choice for him?

@Amy...typically out of state witnesses cannot be subpoenaed, thus they have agreed to testify BUT the need subpoenas to get out of work; thus they can voluntarily accept out of state subpoenas

These witnesses are trying their best to help and support this family during this horrible time in their lives. I have nothing but respect for them. it is not their fault that we don't feel their testimony is particularly helpful.

JodieNJ, it isn't uncommon for lawyers not to talk to their clients while court is in session. A bit more uncommon not to see much interaction during breaks, but not really rare. The proceedings are too technical for defendants to actually help themselves (more like to hurt by giving lawyer info the lawyer doesn't want to have), and they aren't usually friends, either.

Higgs: "Did Mr. Holmes ever try to put the number "1" and an infinity sign into the camp circle?"

In a strange (human) way I was completely addicted to the Arias trial...once in a lifetime do you find something so surreal that you see unfold before your eyes. This trial is just going through the motions for the most part. There is nothing entertaining about this trial TBH, just comlete sorrow for the victims.

I am kinda glad this isn't a circus freakshow like the Arias trial, PURELY for the victims sake. The judge is very thorough, its boring but a great example of how functional our judicial system can be. Albeit, this is an easy trial for the prosecution

maybe Jimmy learned some moves off the kids....

You know, about the time I think this is, once again, a slam dunk for the PT, I remember OJ and Casey Anthony. You never know what is going to happen until it does!

Let's not forget that James is also a victim. Free will is an illusion. We don't choose to be born. We don't choose our parents. We don't author our thoughts. We never make a choice. Biological programming and social conditioning. Causality.

I guess the DT has switched strategies and now we are going with Jimmy is a human being despite having been found to be a monster by this jury...personally, I be hammering home mental illness, metal illness, mental illness....

@sophia, there's your explanation
