Defense will show some video of JH and family at Christmas this morning.

I think his mother will have a hard time testifying. This can't be easy for her. Again, I feel sorry for his family too. I can't imagine having to deal with one of my kids doing something so terrible.

Pearson says parents expected "Perhaps this morning"
Pearson says 40+ letters from mother could be presented too
Pearson argues the letters are hearsay and she objects
Brady says she plans to have them testify this afternoon, need to bring another witness up first so they can make an afternoon flight

I agree with you about the parents--where I get angry is when the defense goes on and on about "supporting" the shooter---he did a very very BAD thing and they need to acknowledge that part--not this wonderful life of visiting and whatever (hope that makes some sense)

How sweet.....the defense guy in the corner and the shooter just shared a moment and Jimmy was smiling a great big smile....so good to see him happy! :sick:

The defendant and his parents exchanged dozens of letters while he was in jail, mostly from mother, prosecutors said. #theatershooting

 

[Maisiebelle]

Ms Brady seemed to be trying to smile at each juror as they came in.

Four sick jurors are being isolated from the others in the jury box. Judge "orders" others not to get sick. #theatershooting

4 jurors sick now. I take it they all have a cold? The juror from Friday had sinusitis which may have moved on from a common cold? Hopefully the others won't get that bad.

Harry Soren Carr, a JH friend, is returning to the #theatershooting witness stand to continue yesterday's testimony.

Marshall Zelinger ‏@7Marshall · 46s47 seconds ago
From one sick #TheaterShooting juror to four. I may need to stop watching because my throat's been screaming at me since yesterday.

Video being shown of trip to Tijuana with JH and Carr

 

[Maisiebelle]

Didn't they only stay at the orphanage for 6 hours? What did they do with the rest of their time in Tijuana?

Pros. objecting frequently and judge sustaining them.

Last time he saw JH was in Los Angeles. Met up @ restaurant and went to movie

#TheaterShooting exhibit's emotional impact can't outweigh probative value. Holmes/victims home vids=low probative. Holmes vid=lower emotion

Carr talked to FBI on 7/20/2012. Said he thought CO had changed JH

Carr says his college friends weren’t “social butterflies”. They were introverted but outgoing with each other

JH was more quiet than rest of the group of friends

Carr, a college friend, says JH would make fun of himself, but didn't make fun of others. Wasn't angry or mean. #theatershooting




(but shoot people--??????? They need to stop making him a model citizen--HES NOT)

 

[LyndyLoo]

How is direct examination getting away with leading questions? Thought that style was what cross examination could do? Why isn't Pros. objecting?

Wouldn’t describe JH as angry or mean. 1 occasion JH got upset - in dorm playing game.

The Gold Patrol® ‏@thegoldpatrol · 46s47 seconds ago
#theatershooting

Mutual friend was killing JH in game on purpose. He got up and walked out

Will C. Holden ‏@will_c_holden · 35s35 seconds ago
Carr: Only time I saw Holmes get mad pre-#theatershooting was when friend killed him in video game despite being teammate. Holmes just left.

Larry Ryckman ‏@larryryckman · 31s31 seconds ago  Castle Rock, CO
Carr: JH once walked out of a room while playing video game with friends when his teammate kept jokingly "killing" him. #theatershooting

The Gold Patrol® ‏@thegoldpatrol · 1m1 minute ago
#theatershooting

Carr would describe JH as “sweet and gentle” - I think Carr is forgetting 7/20/2012
