Theater shooting trial day 56: 'Phase 2' of the penalty process continues

'Phase 2' of the penalty process continues in the trial of James Holmes for the Aurora movie theater shooting. He was convicted earlier this month on 165 counts and now his defense is presenting mitigating evidence in an attempt to convince the jury his life should be spared.

Judge Samour brings in Juror 378 to see if she is feeling better.

Juror 378 says, "I'm feeling much better," but she still sounds congested. Feels well enough to joke with Judge Samour about the dates, "Don't mess with my head."

Juror 378 will move to a seat that is farther away from the other jurors. "An added benefit, it's also the farthest seat from the lawyers and me," Judge Samour jokes.

Good Morning all. Missed most of last week due to a tragedy close to the family....hoping for a better week. Any speculation on how long the phase we are currently in lasts?

shooting in LA finally mentioned

by bob 7/27/2015 2:49:50 PM
The defense is discussing concern about media coverage of the Lafayette, Louisiana movie theater shooting and many references to it being similar to the Aurora shooting or a copycat attack.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 2:50:56 PM
Good Morning All!

by Suzanne 7/27/2015 2:50:58 PM
What is the DT issues this morning?

by LG 7/27/2015 2:51:00 PM
Why bring this up so late Nelson! I was wondering why this wasn't addressed on Friday before jurors left on Friday.

by Suzanne 7/27/2015 2:51:02 PM
The defense is concerned media coverage of the Louisiana theater shooting may make the jurors feel the Aurora theater shooting gunman is to blame.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 2:52:58 PM
Good Morning everyone!

by TammyC 7/27/2015 2:53:27 PM
@Suzanne they didn't have court on Friday due to a Juror being very ill.

by Abrandt 7/27/2015 2:53:29 PM
OMG...... she has so little faith that the jury has not done as the Judge has asked over and over to not listen to any media coverage!!!

by LG 7/27/2015 2:53:32 PM
Good morning everyone! Holy Louisiana Batman!

by Kristle 7/27/2015 2:53:34 PM
My heart breaks for victims of both shootings.

by Abrandt 7/27/2015 2:53:39 PM
I keep expecting her to say "like...whatever...like you know what i'm trying to say"

by Loz 7/27/2015 2:53:58 PM
I thought for sure this would have been brought up on Friday!

by Sheila 7/27/2015 2:53:59 PM
thought the judge covered this in his admonishments on Friday -- this and any other case

"There are a lot of differences," said prosecutor Richard Orman, about the theater shootings in Lafayette, Louisiana and Aurora, Colorado.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 2:54:42 PM
Judge Samour said he advised jurors to avoid media coverage of any cases similar to the theater shooting Friday morning.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 2:56:41 PM
@Abrandt, they came in for a short time and the judge gave instructions before the left early on Friday.
