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.

3rd & 7 37yd

Did the Judge address the sick juror from Friday? Ask her if she's better? Don't recall it being brought up.

@LG: Ah ok, thx

by Kristle 7/27/2015 3:22:51 PM
@bob, we're all going to miss Judge Samour. He needs a fan club.

by MyraJ 7/27/2015 3:22:53 PM
Bob, they needed to go so the one who was sick could get treatment.

by Tammy Garrison 7/27/2015 3:23:00 PM
she blew him off oh! funny and sad

by bob 7/27/2015 3:23:02 PM
With the sick jury the Judge wasn't going to keep them any longer on Friday then he did... @Bob

That juror 87 made me laugh when she laughed.

Juror 1009 says she saw the headline in an email but didn't click the link. It said that there was a shooting in a Louisiana theater that came directly after the verdict was read in the Aurora theater shooting case.

yes...very nice judge

by Sunrise7 7/27/2015 3:25:33 PM
bye bye 1009

by bob 7/27/2015 3:25:34 PM
Orman wants the microphone wiped after the sick juror used it. Judge Samour jokes that his staff is a step ahead: "They know how I am about germs."

spray Lysol on it

Juror 118 when asked how much coverage she saw on the Louisiana theater shooting: "3 words on a crawler across the bottom of the screen that said 'LA theater shooting.'"

It feels like Ms. Nelson is just praying for some juror misconduct here.

by Lori Butterfield 7/27/2015 3:28:31 PM
Juror 155 on exposure to media coverage about Louisiana theater shooting: "Pretty brief... listened to about a minute of it and switched it off."
"...Just that it was a shooting in a theater, they were talking about a candle light vigil and I thought 'I shouldn't be watching this.'"

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:30:47 PM
This judge is a personal friend of my daughter :-)

by Mo 7/27/2015 3:31:36 PM
the shooting in LA happen a week after the verdict not on the day of or near like 1009 said

by bob 7/27/2015 3:31:43 PM
I agree Lori... that's why I said why does she not think they listen to the Judge's instructions, it's crazy!!

by LG 7/27/2015 3:31:45 PM
Juror 673 seems hesitant about answering how much she knows about the Louisiana shooting: "I know a bit about it..."
Knows there were 3 people killed, including the gunman.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:34:32 PM
wow she knows everything, shes gone!

by Tara 7/27/2015 3:34:36 PM
uh-ohh - this may spell trouble

by mandi 7/27/2015 3:34:37 PM
Here comes Nelson on this one probably

by Loz 7/27/2015 3:34:38 PM
Juror 673 said she saw media coverage of the Louisiana theater shooting on the Internet.
"I was being dumb," she said.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:35:57 PM
Juror 673 said her husband told her she shouldn't be watching the coverage.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:37:16 PM
She didn't follow the judges rules

by bob 7/27/2015 3:37:21 PM

Defense is moving to excuse Juror 673 for violating court order to avoid media coverage.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:38:05 PM
Juror 673 is the one who reported the other 3 jurors for discussing the tweet that D.A. Brauchler sent during court. At the time, Judge Samour said he felt she was "the most honest of the jurors."

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:43:09 PM
BREAKING: Judge Samour says he sees no need to excuse Juror 673. "[She's] as candid a juror as perhaps I've ever had... extremely honest."

by Anica Padilla via twitter 7/27/2015 3:44:40 PM
I think she knows more about it than I do.

by ms 7/27/2015 3:45:19 PM
is 673 a deliberating juror

by JG 7/27/2015 3:45:21 PM
sounds like she was being honest

by mandi 7/27/2015 3:45:25 PM
oh wow! this is crazy!

by Tara 7/27/2015 3:45:27 PM
DT probably feels she may be a pro-death juror

by mandi 7/27/2015 3:45:28 PM
She could be dismissed she didn't follow the rules on media coverage from Friday

by TLR 7/27/2015 3:45:31 PM
Hey first time in the trial I agree with the defense

by bob 7/27/2015 3:45:33 PM
she was being what ?

by Sunrise7 7/27/2015 3:45:35 PM
I saw that dismissal coming. I agree with that one.

by Givemeabreak 7/27/2015 3:45:37 PM
Ok, I actually agree that this juror may need to go.

by Lori Butterfield 7/27/2015 3:45:38 PM
Of course he would say that, I say dismiss her!

by Tara 7/27/2015 3:45:40 PM
no reason to kick her off, I agree with orman

by happy 7/27/2015 3:45:41 PM
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH ORMAN!!!

by FMM 7/27/2015 3:45:42 PM
This jury should have been sequestered. I get that this trial lasted for a few months but There is way too much media coverage out there and these jurors don't seem to take this Judge's admonishments too seriously. This is not the first time something like this has happened.

by Della (Me) 7/27/2015 3:45:45 PM
is she a deliberating juror?

by mandi 7/27/2015 3:45:46 PM
Is she an alternate?
