If my eyes are seeing correctly, Holmes has had a haircut, is wearing glasses

Holmes appears to be wearing a white or very light tan shirt. Slight beard stubble.

You can see the defendant in the corner of the image from the courtroom. The judge allowed him to wear street clothes instead of a jail jumpsuit, but he is restrained under the desk

I kept looking at the table to the right for the shooter, assuming courtroom setup was same as JA trial. It's reversed; defense is to the left, prosecution to the right.

Actually it is the defendant's constitutional right to wear street clothes. Not up to judge.

 

[Chelly]

The only time a defendant wears prison garb in presence of jury (as Jodi did during her sentencing hearing) is after he/she is found guilty by such jury. i.e. sentencing.

About District Court Judge Carlos Samour: Appointed to the court in 2006, he took the bench in 2007 and is in the midst of a term that lasts until 2016. He became the chief judge for the Eighteenth Judicial District Court upon the retirement of Judge William Sylvester on July 1, 2014 (Judge Sylvester originally oversaw the Holmes trial, but was replaced by Samour). Samour received his undergraduate degree in psychology, graduating with honors, from the University of Colorado at Denver. He was awarded his J.D. degree from the University of Denver.

Denver channel is having legal experts now, other streams are showing the judge instructing the jury.
Judge says the jurors may ask questions of witnesses!

don't shoot the messenger lol it was their tweet.....websleuthers always know more than reporters

 

[shelbor]

Doesn't look like the defense has the shooter's chair cranked down to make him appear smaller, like JA's team did for her.

FYI, the 9News link I provided earlier doesn't have the newsroom commentary; it's straight up courtroom camera.
