Nelson, et al will interrupt these victims constantly!
The shooters mom and dad were allowed to start at his birth forward......
Yes, judge, it's emotional!!! Good grief!! This is crazy!! Can't mention grandparents cancer.....not sure I can watch the censored impact statements. Pathetic
No fiance testimony....cruel....as Jimmy sits and chuckles to himself. Rest of defense team can't hide their smirks....
Keep it sterile. Yes, I miss my loved one, close family member. Wish it didn't happen. The end....Oh! Can't mention funerals!! Of course not....
Is anyone shocked about what they cannot talk about? No friends allowed to testify?
In regard to ALL ove posts..While I agree that victim impact statements are important..Colorado is NOT like so many other States..Most impact Statement is usually done when guilty verdict is confirmed and it's only up to the Judge to assign Sentence..So since in Colorado...their statements (Victim family friends) have to be very narrow as not to be piling on and outside of the box claims (ala media causation of harm etc)..
This type of trial is so different..because the Judge is not rendering the verdict..but a group of 12 juror's who actually make the decision....
Normally post Guilty verdict..The Judge weighs ALL sides and get letters and emails from defendant supporters have a voice.
I really don't blame Judge Saymour at all!! IF Jury decides on DP he will know he did it all within the law and follow their directions...
Having said all that..I do think this Judge would rule DP IF he had his druthers!!
