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

#673 is an alternate jury and she was wrong to do that! She should be gone!

The ONLY reason being that the defense is doing anything possible to get a mistrial and appeals are going to last for years........

I'm sorry, I know it's her job but it frustrates the heck out of me that she is STILL pulling this crap EVERY CHANCE SHE GETS!! If she's so concerned with her clients "speedy trial" then stop slowing it down!!!!

by FMM 7/27/2015 3:45:54 PM
is 673 a voting juror or an alternate?

by Suzi Lewis 7/27/2015 3:46:05 PM
Juror 673 Husband should have been on the case instead sounds like...

by LG 7/27/2015 3:46:06 PM

by Tara 7/27/2015 3:46:12 PM
Thursday evening is when I saw it.

by TLR 7/27/2015 3:46:17 PM
Could have brought it up on Friday. There you go.

Excuse her, just to be safe on appeals.

by Resa 7/27/2015 3:46:30 PM
bet their mad they didn't get her excused

by JG 7/27/2015 3:46:32 PM
judge never said he would overrule the defense motion

by mandi 7/27/2015 3:46:33 PM
673 was the one who sent the note about the others talking about the case.

by Tammy Garrison 7/27/2015 3:46:35 PM
Juror 706 said she heard a little about the Louisiana theater shooting while listening to NPR on the radio Friday morning, but her exposure was very brief. Said she bought a remote for her radio after she became a juror just for that reason.

Judge Samour asked if Juror 706 if media coverage of the Louisiana shooting would impact her ability to be impartial in this case.
"Definitely not, I don't see how," she said.

I want her for a grandma

by Loz 7/27/2015 3:50:03 PM
How many are alternates of the ones that raised their hands?

by Kristle 7/27/2015 3:50:05 PM
They should have just sequestered this jury.

by Me 7/27/2015 3:50:07 PM
Dismiss her and be done with it. She watched more coverage than she's admitting.

by amjinoh 7/27/2015 3:50:10 PM
@ Tammy G - exactly! This is what I've been saying sense Friday.

by Suzanne 7/27/2015 3:50:11 PM
@Suzi, based on my notes, 673 is alternate.

Juror 737 is the jury foreman. He said he saw, "Just a headline on a website. I didn't click it."

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:51:14 PM
nice to see the character of these jurors actually

by bob 7/27/2015 3:52:05 PM
the defense let this issue linger on purpose

by bob 7/27/2015 3:52:06 PM
Awe, she's cute. You're very welcome, your honor

by Resa 7/27/2015 3:52:07 PM
Juror 673 – White woman in 30s or 40s
This juror currently serves in the military as well does her husband... she's an alternate.

by LG 7/27/2015 3:52:09 PM
btw, @anica, not to take anything at ALL away from Phil but you were noticeably missed on Friday :)

by Loz 7/27/2015 3:52:10 PM
737 snap just said the judges ruling verbatim

by bob 7/27/2015 3:52:19 PM
Higgs always has a goofy smile at the jury and she's doing it with each juror.

"Certainly not," he said.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:52:24 PM
I wonder why it wasn't brought up more on Friday before they where released early

by CR 7/27/2015 3:53:22 PM
Juror 307 said a friend texted and asked if she had heard there was another theater shooting and she told her friend she couldn't talk about it.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:54:51 PM
morning session almost over -- nothing accomplished.... have to preserve any appeal issues though

by mandi 7/27/2015 3:54:54 PM
Juror 557 says her exposure to media coverage of the Louisiana theater shooting was "very brief."

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:57:06 PM
seems like these jurors that heard about the shooting before Friday should have told the court already

by caz 7/27/2015 3:57:09 PM
Juror 557 said her husband told her "There's been another theater shooting... in Louisiana... I think he said two people were killed." She said, "It's probably something that we shouldn't talk about. I've been staying away from the news on purpose."

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 3:58:03 PM
Thank The Lord....juror 557 is the last one!

by Kristle 7/27/2015 3:58:07 PM
Defense calls Dr. Jeffrey Metzner to the stand.

by anica.padilla 7/27/2015 4:04:56 PM
i wonder if the witnesses for JH are affected by the recent shooting and may rethink testifying for a convicted mass murderer

by bob 7/27/2015 4:05:08 PM
Family, and maybe friends, know that these jurors are performing jury duty- for a lengthy trial. If they then say they don't want to hear details about the LA case, don't you think some of the family and friends are going to figure out the exact case the jurors are hearing?

by Mr.D. 7/27/2015 4:05:19 PM
I missed the beginning of this --- were any jurors in fact dismissed over the event?

by Poppy 7/27/2015 4:05:21 PM
now that's over, time for more nauseating Jimmy speak

by JG 7/27/2015 4:05:23 PM
BRINGING IN METZNER! This'll be good.

by Kels 7/27/2015 4:05:26 PM
Juror 557 – Hispanic woman in 30s or 40s
This juror the woman said she has an opinionated husband she would have to avoid during her jury service. lol

by LG 7/27/2015 4:05:28 PM
Metzner? The court appointed psychiatrist?
