Theater shooting trial day 63: Phase 3 closing arguments

Jurors will come face to face with the ultimate question in the Aurora movie theater shooting trial: Should James Holmes be put to death by lethal injection?

3rd & 7 37yd

True- we do not execute someone for getting sick. We do execute them for committing 12 murders.

I'll show mercy when I see remorse.

by Sophia 8/6/2015 9:08:04 PM
Kane and Abel - she is giving me a pain.

by JW 8/6/2015 9:08:06 PM
Scotus has weighed on the issue of DP and mental illness, unless proved deficient the condemned can be executed.

Suzanne- or she cn fight against it

by CSP 8/6/2015 9:08:11 PM
Well he actually gets his objections sustained...that is why he is a big boy

by JAM 8/6/2015 9:08:16 PM

She has a tough job and i'm proud someone is fighting the good fight

by CSP 8/6/2015 9:08:27 PM
Did she skip the "DON'T POINT WHEN SPEAKING TO PEOPLE" day in law school?

by juswatchin 8/6/2015 9:08:29 PM
it seems like she is just reaching here....repeating the same thing over and over again. trying to fill up time

by AM 8/6/2015 9:08:31 PM
Good Lord I wish she would end already!

by Jennifer 8/6/2015 9:08:33 PM
He will never make it in prison ... the inmate will kill him! Nothing can shield him from that!

by Greg Edwards 8/6/2015 9:08:35 PM
He was looking forward to having visitors in his cell.

She encourages jurors to speak up and tell the foreman when they decide LWOP is appropriate

by Phil Tenser 8/6/2015 9:09:42 PM
he shielded himself from punishment on july 20th. instead punished others for wanting to have fun. sit down, brady

I would be shocked if 12 people will vote for death.

Judge asks attys to approach, probably discuss if they need a break before rebuttals

by Phil Tenser 8/6/2015 9:10:31 PM
I see a rebuttal coming on

by Tjq 8/6/2015 9:10:42 PM
If he is given LWOP he will probably end up in a mental institution and what if he breaks out and kills again???

by Marti 8/6/2015 9:10:44 PM
don't think PT will rebut - if they do - DT gets another shot

by mandi 8/6/2015 9:10:45 PM
Yeah, he will be punished... If the jury gives him LWOP, the general population in Canyon City will make SURE he is punished.

by DocJ 8/6/2015 9:10:53 PM
I think he's completely responsible for what he did, but even then, I couldn't look a person in the face and decide that they are going to die.

by Ruby 8/6/2015 9:10:58 PM
All the doctors said he was seriously mentally ill

by notfordp 8/6/2015 9:10:59 PM
they didn't prove insanity, not mental illness, mani

by CSP 8/6/2015 9:11:00 PM
DA has no rebuttal closing argument

by Phil Tenser 8/6/2015 9:11:11 PM
Be on for an interview in just a minute

by Phil Tenser 8/6/2015 9:20:26 PM
The jury has the case

by Phil Tenser 8/6/2015 9:20:30 PM
a lot of comments waiting. i'll catch up asap

by Phil Tenser 8/6/2015 9:25:01 PM
by Phil Tenser 8/6/2015 9:25:53 PM
So sorry about the waiting comments. I"m going to get to them in a second

by Phil Tenser 8/6/2015 9:39:14 PM
She does have a tough job.

by notfordp 8/6/2015 9:40:09 PM
Flip - the boxing zingers were great and your last "oh hell" was therapeutic in helping me deal with Brady's imepitude and obnoxious contradictions. If she were teaching a class, I'd drop it instantly or not attend and take an F or incomplete.

by BluesB 8/6/2015 9:40:14 PM
Jennifer - I wish she would have ended weeks ago.

by JW 8/6/2015 9:40:16 PM
had no idea CO was bound to its violent history, dp supporters know this and have made it a part of their mental makeup , which is an illness, in itself Severe stagnation. maybe lots of publicity for CO in the world will let its laws bypass its beauty. This trial was brutal. Killing the mentally ill---nothing inside the advocates, empty, dead mind and spirit, Genetic?

by yourneighbor 8/6/2015 9:40:19 PM
People reached out to Jimmy and he didn't reach back. He wanted to do it.

by caz 8/6/2015 9:40:20 PM
Gag, his soul screaming for help..... Maybe Mrs Holmes supplied that line, too

by Sophia 8/6/2015 9:40:22 PM
Man-does she get 5 hours?

by BluesB 8/6/2015 9:40:23 PM
he will not be alone in his cell if he is truly ill... he will have the shadows and voices to keep him company

by me 8/6/2015 9:40:24 PM
Can we do a FOIA request for the video of James Holmes in cell right after he gets back to his cell if he get's life in prison?

by Cindy L 8/6/2015 9:40:33 PM
hey legal eagles, insanity is different than mental illness

by CSP 8/6/2015 9:40:35 PM
12 people only have to vote for the dp on one count. prepare to be shocked. @notfordp
