phil do you ever poll the bloggers as to how they are leaning with the testimony in hand?

good to hear from you jward. We were asking about you

@Jward you should put a photo of the little guy as your picture :)

For anyone here that thinks Judge Samour has been anything but extremely fair throughout...put down the crack pipe

You're entitled to your opinion, okx. 'Beauty of this forum. I just happen to disagree with you. 'Great that we're respectfully allowed that.

@Happy been here all along, just not gonna get drawn into this lawyer bashing stuff that continues to go on.

Uhh, PAA Watcher, that would be the bong in this state. LOL

@phil... maybe post a poll about how everyone feels Mr. Holmes did or something along the lines that has to do with him and his testimony

EXACTLY, PAWatcher. He's been phenomenal. Whatever he gets paid, he earns every penny and then some.

@BluesB-- Veronica was my cousin. I miss her dearly every day and even more on holidays and her birthday. I feel sad for me, my family, the families who lost, and those who almost lost. Either way, the Holmes family is going to lose their son. What JH did was horrible and inexcusable, but you never think your kid will do this, and even though his family recognizes what he did was horrible he is still their son/brother and love him and don't want to see him die. I know what his family is going through, though it's a different struggle for them. My family huirts for his family as well. The only one guilty in this is JH himself. Everyone else is collateral damage.

@BluesB Robert and Arlene Holmes lost someone too. That's not their son sitting in the courtroom. "Jimmy" Holmes is long gone. They have not only lost their son, they have to live with being ridiculed for the rest of their life for what their SON did. Not to mention being plagued with knowing your son did such a horrible thing. For someone to NOT have sympathy for them is unimaginable.

phil, question for poll is James Holmes mental illness enough of a factor to sentence him to life in prision with no chance of ever reentering society? yes or no

In my honest opinion, Higgs always looks so classy and cute. I also want her outfit today.

Agreed mid, but from my perspective, I have seen students with difficulties or issues lose friendships as they get older because those difficulties or issues are magnified among their peers.

I'll have to log onto Twitter later and update the profile pic officially. For now, hopefully this works.

I think they will go on to phase 3, but I don't think he will get the DP.

Here is a quote from George Brachler...

"It's fair to say that I have been approached by a lot of different credible and influential people in the GOP party about pursuing a run for governor, and I have been seriously considering it"

This is why a lot of people don't like him. He's a politician and we ALL know you can't trust politicians.Winning this case will do wonders for a campaign. He doesn't care how aggressive he is even with innocent people, he HAS to get the DP in this case.

@jward, Congrats, he's very cute!

@Proph, I did not realize that little Veronica was your cousin. I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain your family is going through.

jward how cute!!
