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.

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!

"Yesterday was just one of those days where I was in a hurry to get out the door" juror says

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:10:53 PM
I have to admit, it was a little distasteful to wear it though...

DA Brauchler has nothing to add, but says he believes "I don't think it even registers with him what was on the back of the shirt"

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:11:49 PM
just getting over a 3 week stint of these exact same symptoms.....terrible virus going around..antibiotics did NOT help....maybe steroids will help if she's lucky....they should release her. just in case....they have alternates ready to go....she could expose the others...then what?

by A.L. 7/24/2015 3:11:55 PM

by fascinated 7/24/2015 3:12:42 PM
How many people will listen to that Metallica song now? LOL!!! There will probably be nut jobs wearing those tshirts as they protest in front of the courthouse.

by Kristle 7/24/2015 3:12:43 PM
Judge is going to bring the jury in to tell them they'll be going home today. They'll plan to be back on Monday, but could be delayed to Tuesday

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:13:04 PM
King: "Aw, man...Brauchler has jokes too. Shucks" :-o

by Loz 7/24/2015 3:13:07 PM

SLAM.

by blue 7/24/2015 3:15:39 PM
What's the problem with a ride the lighting Metallica t shirt?

by Me 7/24/2015 3:15:40 PM
I am surprised the shooting in LA hasn't been brought up yet either...

by Sarah 7/24/2015 3:15:40 PM
back of the shirt was a guy in an electric chair.

by blue 7/24/2015 3:15:44 PM
King really tried to make the t-shirt sound like it was so inappropriate and OUTRAGEOUS. "...I don't even know what to SAY, Your Honor...!?!" 'Gimme a break.
