CO - James Holmes Trial Discussion - Begins April 27, 2015 # 5

I must've missed this but, was it a fact he had a motorcycle? I never saw any ref to it. Did they find a motorcycle that was his? Did he just buy one during his shopping 'spree'?

AFAIK, that is totally unknown.

Speculation is that this was somehow tied to the MC Boots purchase...because that was right before. This is actually being discussed right this very second on TDC - which is why I just typed that answer! LOL!!

 

[Maisiebelle]

I can't get over how much money he spent. I bet Mom and Dad had to pay his credit cards...

I still wonder why he didn't try to hide any of these purchases. He left one heck of a paper trail.

 

[corundogs]

Uh oh...recalling Eric Erikkson (sp?) for foundation - again. Motorcycle Training guy.

 

[corundogs]

This second part of the exhibit (1090B) is the roster and of those in the class and release. He was NOT the instructor.

So, hopefully we will hear from the instructor.

MAN...now we are back to word salad about how this is kept - in normal course of business or not.

 

[kai]

...please ask if JH's name was on the sign in sheet for the class...

 

[atthelake]

I was hoping they would ask the witness!!!

They listened to you! :biggrin: ...now you have the Paul Harvey...rest of the story YEAH

arty:

 

[kai]

Did anyone catch the dates for when this class was?

 

[Maisiebelle]

Why are the prosecution so desperate for this evidence to be admitted. I wish I could read their minds!

 

[kai]

June 23, 2012- Date of class that JH was signed up for (prosecution just asked)

 

[Maisiebelle]

June 23rd 2012

 

[kai]

Hmm, male defense attorney is sure staring down the prosecutor, imo- very attentive. I wonder also what is so important about this element of testimony.

[Maisiebelle]

So he did take the course. Very interesting. I bet he had a motorcycle hidden away somewhere. Maybe thats why he was travelling light in the car.

Next witness

[kai]

Witness is done testifying, but remains under subpoena to possibly be called again.

I guess same reason he didn't run or commit suicide. But still don't know why that was his choice??

Next witness: Catherine Streib, who was 16 at the time of the shooting.

Sadly, I think the DT will use that as a way to "prove" their client was insane!

 

[Maisiebelle]

I suppose he could have had an escape plan that we haven't heard about yet. I hope there is something to explain his plans.
