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.

3rd & 7 37yd

First we had Ronnie Zamora and the Oreo defense...now we will have the Metallica defense...that said, it's a different world than the one in which I grew up where you wear t-shirts to court...SMH

this is another issue for 378 - time to replace her

by mandi 7/24/2015 3:00:33 PM
Brady asks for a minute to gather her thoughts on the question

Mark: "...ummm...yeaaaah....
Friday's are supposed to be Hawaiian shirt daaaay.." (Office Space). 'Too funny.

Watch Metallica guy be the next up to take her spot.

by Tammy Garrison 7/24/2015 3:00:53 PM
Brady says she agrees, doesn't want to have to replace her at this point. "As completely inconvenient as that is for us, if she is so sick, she can't work for us"

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:01:39 PM
Juror 378 back in the room

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:01:54 PM
The question would be if she could get in to see a doctor today, get some antibiotics and a steroid shot.

by Tammy Garrison 7/24/2015 3:01:58 PM
PT was correct in stating the lyrics of Ride the Lightning is an anti-death song

by mandi 7/24/2015 3:02:11 PM

@Phil is watching from the future. ;)

Judge encourages her to try the clinic today if they take a day off

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:03:27 PM
she needs to get to the dr today

by mandi 7/24/2015 3:04:08 PM
Electric chair? "Ride the Lightening"? Is the guy completely obtuse, or what? What kind of jury is this?

Judge says "I'm inclined to just take today off"

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:04:23 PM
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
why didn't she go to the clinic yesterday? duh

by Loz 7/24/2015 3:05:03 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!!!

by fascinated 7/24/2015 3:05:42 PM
@ 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
