JH was methodical in his planning on people not getting out of the theater while he was shooting...#theatershooting

Will C. Holden ‏@will_c_holden · 38s39 seconds ago
Specifically, defense objected 2 @GeorgeBrauchler's statement that pre-#theatershooting gchats suggested Holmes knew his actions were "evil

 

[LyndyLoo]

He also wanted to minimize his exposure to pain, thus protective gear & gas mask to protect him from the canister he thru into crowd!! Also taking pain killers incase he got hurt...SMH!!

By putting in headphones and techno music JH was trying to minimize his exposure to his actions #theatershooting

Metzner says that listening to techno music during shooting was a way to separate himself from what he was doing.

Brauchler points out that JH used apartment to divert 1st responders from the crime scene

#theatershooting

Metzner says the apartment wasn’t a diversion to escape but to allow JH more time to kill

#theatershooting

Brauchler is talking about the “point system”. Metzner didn’t get the point of that as Dr Reid did.

 

[MsJosie]

"THIS GUY". The defense made it clear it would object every time Mr. B refers to JH as "this guy"

Maybe use a different term...convict, murderer, defense client, he, him....

Brauchler - JH said he didn’t want Hillary to get into media frenzy of dating murderer. This shows he knew it wasn’t good

Metzner - If JH had not been delusional he wouldn’t have sent email to Gargi, bought tear gas, handcuffs etc

 

[MsJosie]

Anyone having a hard time with WS loading? Very very slow and I am about 2-3 pages behind the testimony.

 

[AdMademoiselle]

You see that arm Maisie? Glad it's not just me. lol
It's really creepy, yes. When watching the vid, when JH moves his right arm towards table, that 'thing' moved with him. Super creep.

Will C. Holden ‏@will_c_holden · 3m3 minutes ago
Def. re-direct: Had Holmes not been delusional would he have taken all pre-#theatershooting steps? Metzner: No. Live: http://link.kdvr.com/1U29N3N

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ · 2m2 minutes ago
Brauchler points out this was a selfish decision on JH's part to kill people. Metzner says its part of delusional thinking #theatershooting
The Gold Patrol® ‏@thegoldpatrol · 2m2 minutes ago
#theatershooting

Metzner says the reason JH didn’t act on the homicidal thoughts is because he wasn’t delusional back then

Will C. Holden ‏@will_c_holden · 1m1 minute ago
Metzner: Holmes' evil pre-#theatershooting thoughts weren't new. Key question is why he acted on them. I believe he acted due to psychosis

What video and a link please...I missed something....thanks

 

[LyndyLoo]

So this guy is suggesting that anyone who has delusions coupled with Psychosis have the capacity to lie to therapists,,plan horrific things , know right from wrong..have the capacity to do what J. did...So does that mean it best to lock these folks up in hospital to control their environment and freedoms, liberties that is afforded to any citizen living within society????.... Projecting people should be VERY afraid of MI patients.

I say put him away..out of his misery..It really doesn't matter to me..BUT this trial and those exposed to testimony of this expert calls into question HOW those with delusions and psychotic thinkings should be REMOVED...

Anyone on here who has loved one's suffering from such symptoms should fear how society could demand how such patients be viewed and treated!! Gerrrrrrr!!

Brauchler points out with 700 rounds in his car he still calls U of CO - That shows what he is about to do is wrong.

Brauchler says JH had the ability to make choices and he made the choice to kill. #theatershooting

 

[Maisiebelle]

Hi all you fab posters...
Haven't commented since 'the evil one's' trial, aka princess JA, but have been following this one closely. Thank goodness we got a guilty verdict.

I hope I'm attaching these pics correctly. I am seeing the creepiest thing in some still frames. Reid & Holmes interviews, iPad screen grabs. Am I crazy, or does it look like there's an arm encircling JH's upper torso & neck. Looks like a spiritual 'hold' of some sort. Am soo creeped out.

What do you guys think? TIA
P

We are talking about this post Ms Josie

JQ-Is it common for people with schizoaffective disorder to have delusions of killing? No it's not common #theatershooting

#TheaterShooting Defense: Does it speak to strength of delusion if 1 acts on it? If so, were Holmes’ delusions strong? Metzner: Yes & yes.

Jen's Trial Diaries ‏@TrialDiariesJ · 39s40 seconds ago
Do people with delusions have control on whether to act on it? It depends on person and environment #theatershooting
