Theater shooting trial day 55: Phase 2 continues with defense witnesses

Defense attorneys will continue to call witnesses in the first full day of phase 2, where they are trying to show mitigating circumstances sufficient to convince the jury to spare their client's life. James Holmes was convicted last week of the 2012 Aurora movie theater shooting in which 12 people were killed and 70 were injured. Jurors also agreed with the prosecutors that sufficient aggravating circumstances were present to move forward to this stage.

Electric chair? "Ride the Lightening"? Is the guy completely obtuse, or what? What kind of jury is this?

So the alternate jurors can only step in if a debating juror is dismissed?

by Sarah 7/24/2015 3:04:43 PM
@Sarah: correct

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:04:46 PM

Judge also notes he could move jurors away from the sick juror

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:05:19 PM
This lady knew she was getting sick yesterday, i mean seriously .. She should of warned them and went to the doctor yesterday

by Tara 7/24/2015 3:05:37 PM
She sounds really Sick.... :(

by LG 7/24/2015 3:05:38 PM
the t-shirt wearer is an alternate. don't think a tshirt would have any weight on these proceedings. obviously since no one wanted to discuss it further, it's not worth anyone's time.

by blue 7/24/2015 3:05:41 PM
Sit DOWN, Higgs!!!

@ Loz - lol

by Suzanne 7/24/2015 3:05:50 PM
Sounds to me like she won't be better on Monday. We've all had that kind of cold chills, fever and it takes a couple weeks.

by Kristle 7/24/2015 3:05:51 PM
Defense asking to talk to their witnesses about rescheduling today

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:06:31 PM
Mandi, when would she have gone?

by Tammy Garrison 7/24/2015 3:06:33 PM
Good morning. Are we sure this is the same juror that was sick earlier in the proceedings. I thought the first one was a much older woman.

by imnotreallyhere 7/24/2015 3:06:37 PM
Prosecution says they won't object to video depositions of other witnesses, if that has to happen given rescheduling

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:07:31 PM
Now the antibiotics will give her stomach problems. Hope someone tells her to take probiotics with them.

by LoriJ 7/24/2015 3:07:35 PM
@mandi... Haven't you ever woke up sicker then you were the day before?

by LG 7/24/2015 3:07:35 PM
If it were me, it would be the start of 3 weeks of misery. Poor lady. I sure hope she can get better in 3 days!

by TLR 7/24/2015 3:07:36 PM
@Tammy - there are plenty of associates in family medicine clinic's or urgent care centers that are open until around 8 PM - just saying.

by Sarah 7/24/2015 3:07:37 PM
Juror 983 will be next brought into the courtroom

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:07:46 PM
Good Morning. Just got here. Have they talked about "Metallica t-shirt" guy yet?

by DocJ 7/24/2015 3:07:56 PM
yesterday after court -- there are urgent care clinics open until 8 or 9 in the evening

by mandi 7/24/2015 3:08:14 PM
Maybe. Depends on insurance too.

by Tammy Garrison 7/24/2015 3:08:53 PM
Still think @Phil should rename to Future Phil since he types what is going to happen before it happens or is said...freakin me out

by Loz 7/24/2015 3:08:53 PM
exactly 24 hour emergency clinic thingy

by Tara 7/24/2015 3:09:11 PM

This is horriable. What is wrong with people??

by Averi 7/24/2015 3:09:39 PM
the note from the other jurors noted that she has been sick and getting sicker

by mandi 7/24/2015 3:09:40 PM
"Enter Sandman"

by Loz 7/24/2015 3:09:41 PM
LOLLOz

by Tired 7/24/2015 3:09:42 PM
One thing I am now worried about now is the juror's getting more exposure to the unspeakable events in LA today with court taking today off. The events will be unfolding all day today. They must stay away from the news!

I have to admit, it was a little distasteful to wear it though...
