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.

@LG is said "Ride the Lightning"

by Loz 7/24/2015 3:12:41 PM
I just got here. I don't understand the t-shirt issue

by ms 7/24/2015 3:12:42 PM
Go AC...Sorry, 'King. Nice try.

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
What's on the back that they have an issue with?

by LG 7/24/2015 3:13:09 PM
@LG: it was metalica's ride the lightning

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:13:21 PM
Loz----yourekilling me over here man. Im cryng I am laghing so hard

by Tired 7/24/2015 3:13:43 PM
I am surprised they haven't asked about the jury being swayed by the theater shooting last night.

by Kathy Sahu 7/24/2015 3:13:44 PM
@Loz.... got it thanks!! I had to reboot and missed things!!

by LG 7/24/2015 3:13:45 PM
What was on the back of the shirt??

by CE 7/24/2015 3:13:53 PM
Oh man! Judge just laid the smack down on that reporter. LOL!

by Marsha Laurienti 7/24/2015 3:13:54 PM
Thanks Phil :)

by LG 7/24/2015 3:13:55 PM
@LG - it has a pic. of an electric chair with lightning

by mandi 7/24/2015 3:13:56 PM
what did it say on the back of the t shirt? I just logged in.

by Brenda Cash 7/24/2015 3:14:00 PM
I just love this Judge!

by BernerMom 7/24/2015 3:14:01 PM
The t-shirt was Metallica's ride the lightning

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:14:10 PM
AK

by Me 7/24/2015 3:14:14 PM
IMO the court should just make it Tuesday. Let that juror rest!!

by Kristle 7/24/2015 3:15:38 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.

by fascinated 7/24/2015 3:15:45 PM
well now -- how to fill my day since no court....

by mandi 7/24/2015 3:15:46 PM
Obtuse, he is. I guess that's o.k. for a death penalty juror, as long as he's not sending any messages. Everyone seems to agree.

by Frank 7/24/2015 3:16:52 PM
I wonder if the court hasn't said anything about the Lafeyette shooting because that would then bring their attention to it. They are already not supposed to be watching the news.

by DocJ 7/24/2015 3:16:53 PM
hoping 378 didn't infect the rest of the jury

by mandi 7/24/2015 3:16:53 PM
I hear ya mandi! My boss is gone today too!!!! I have flip flops, t-shirt and a whole bag of sunflower seeds I was about to tear into. Guess I'll be youtubin it...

by Loz 7/24/2015 3:16:54 PM
Why would the shooting in Louisiana be brought up?? The Judges order is not to pay attention to media reports. It's not "this guy".

by Kristle 7/24/2015 3:17:10 PM
I wonder if parties will bring up the Lafayette shooting once jury is dismissed for the day... (?)

by fascinated 7/24/2015 3:17:11 PM
google "Ride the Lighting" for Metallica and you'll see why for those that are not fans of the band!

by LG 7/24/2015 3:17:12 PM
Why would the shirt be a problem, Colorado doesn't execute people with the electric chair, they do lethal injection don't they?

by Me 7/24/2015 3:17:22 PM
Jurors are on their way into the court to be informed they'll be headed home for a long weekend

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:17:23 PM
I can't believe the lawyers didn't talk about the shooting before the jury came back in.

by Suzanne 7/24/2015 3:17:59 PM
we might still hear from witnesses today who could tape their statements

by bob 7/24/2015 3:18:00 PM
no doubt @Me. he should have worn his Pulp Fiction shirt with Mia Wallace and a syringe sticking out of her chest!

by Loz 7/24/2015 3:18:25 PM
Judge is informing the jury that because one of their number is ill, the day will be taken off

by Phil Tenser 7/24/2015 3:18:26 PM
Loz-it's Hawaiian shirt day...Friday!! Go at it!!! :D
