CO - James Holmes Trial Discussion - Begins April 27, 2015 # 4

As has been said about all witnesses - I am sure they are feeling a whole bunch of different ways about their interactions with what turned out to be a mass murderer.

But I truly wonder what these highly educated, professionals in the field of Neuroscience think!

It's just so mind boggling to me!!!

JH spent $850 on ballistic chaps, by the way.

Afternoon break - back in 20.

I don't do tweets. I guess if someone wants to instruct me, I can be backup for later dates.

 

[bexlex]

hmm.... none of the tweeters seem to have anything from more than 30 min ago...

#Theatershooter third professor of JH last lab is testifying. Not detached from reality. Etc.

I can help out if need be. I don't see many tweets either but I'm listening live... I can describe what's going on in my own words?

 

[bexlex]

im confused....no more tweets I can find but the defense is questioning the prof on the live feed.....

 

[corundogs]

Just curious...how is what Ms. Brady doing not "leading the witness?"

She certainly isn't getting what she wants out of him - so I guess no need to object? LOL!!

 

[cujenn81]

Curt Freed - Professor of Medicine, CU School of Medicine currently on the stand and he's being asked questions about whether JH was timid, introverted, etc and he is kind of skirting around the issue saying that he can't speak on that.

yes!!!!

 

[cujenn81]

Prof stating he had hoped for more progress from JH. Asked if lab requires interaction with other students, he said yes. He doesn't think JH was a know it all or arrogant. He had no interactions with JH outside of lab.

 

[cujenn81]

Jury has questions.... judge asked counsel to please approach the bench.

I'm wondering if tweeters are eastcoast --

 

[corundogs]

From my own perspective, I just don't see anything the Defense has done as being effective in anything! If I was on the jury - and I have covered why I never could/would be - I would be more confused about what they ask than if they didn't ask anything!

It is just weird to me!

 

[cujenn81]

Question from jury and judge ruled appropriate...
Q: What was his demeanor on or around May 17th at the time of the presentation?
A: He was well prepared and he was 5th or 6th presenter and did a good job with the performance.

I have questioned them myself

Next witness - Dr. Jessica Elizbeth Cummiskey; post-doc position doing research at university
Started grad school in 2008... in 2009 - graduation studied with Dr. Freed (previous witness)... was another student in lab with JH

 

[cujenn81]

Asked about the defendant's presentation in class.
A: He looked incredibly nervous and awkward giving presentation.
Took a neurobiology class with JH - started around Christmas & ended mid-March.
He joined the lab rotation with her at the end of January.
Q: How did he present in class?
A: He didn't seem engaged and didn't seem to pay attention in class. It was a discussion based class and he never volunteered anything. But he always answered questions correctly. Doesn't remember JH ever taking notes or even opening a book.
