Sather said it was "good sign" Holmes sat in front of class pre-#theatershooting. But Holmes was atypical of those students -- "unengaged

Sather: "Students are often shy." Scientists aren't always very talkative. You look for ways to promote interaction. #theatershooting

 

[Maisiebelle]

I read an article about JH yesterday and the guy was saying that he wasn't interactive at school either - but still did really well in homework assignments etc. Almost like he wasn't even listening but retained all the information.

#theatershooting defendant quietly swivels in chair, just feet from stand where CU profs, classmates describe his academic shortcomings

Sather 2 #theatershooting court: It's important that scientists b interactive, but I'm unsure how many of them recognize that in grad school

Testimony includes what we’ve heard - JH was shy. Scientists need to be able to interact.

 

[Maisiebelle]

JH spinning side to side on his chair. I wonder if it bothers him hearing about his failure at university.

Sather: at June 7 exam. "The defendant had a difficult day.He didn't seem very strongly engaged with the examiners." #theatershooting

#theatershooting

This professor described JH to investigators as “detached” - not from reality but socially

Sather: Described him as being somewhat disengaged. But not disengaged from reality. Just didn't care, or gave up. #theatershooting

Professor couldn't tell if JH was nervous or didn't care. He seemed detached socially #theatershooting #TheaterTrial

Larry Ryckman ‏@larryryckman · 2m2 minutes ago
Sather: Students are rarely dismissed from program, but not uncommon for them to decide to leave (as JH did). #theatershooting

Sather: JH was on time for exam, appropriately dressed. He had no contact with defendant in month before exam. #theatershooting

Prosecution continues to stress that JH was quiet, socially awkward, unmotivated at CU, but not detached from reality. #theatershooting

JH didn't volunteer in class. If called on he'd answer. Short answers #theatershooting #TheaterTrial

Larry Ryckman ‏@larryryckman · 1m1 minute ago
Defense asking Sather about importance of teamwork in the class. Any guidelines on class expectations? Not really. #theatershooting

Oral skills are very important in this Neuroscience field and JH was lacking in that dept. #theatershooting #TheaterTrial

Higgs asking whether CU profs seek to help students succeed and advance. Yes. "We don't want our students to fail." #theatershooting

Larry Ryckman ‏@larryryckman · 1m1 minute ago
Sather said JH was "scattered" during the exam. Disorganized in answers? Yes. Just scratched the surface with answers. #theatershooting

JH was scattered and disorganized during his presentation #theatershooting #TheaterTrial

#theatershooting

Witness says that JH was disorganized in answers on exam. Scratched surface of exams. Unmotivated

Miss Higgs annoys me! Can't put my finger on why, but she does.

 

[Maisiebelle]

So was he confused in class because he was becoming insane or because he was preoccupied with his plans for the shooting......

Larry Ryckman ‏@larryryckman · 2m2 minutes ago
Sather didn't ask JH what was going on, why he was struggling with exam. "That would have traumatized him." #theatershooting

Will C. Holden ‏@will_c_holden · 1m1 minute ago
Sather: Holmes "had difficult day/didn't seem engaged" on day of failed final exam that preceded his pre-#theatershooting grad school exit.

Larry Ryckman ‏@larryryckman · 46s46 seconds ago
Sather: JH was never angry with teachers, didn't have dyed hair, didn't do anything to draw attention to himself. #theatershooting

 

[Maisiebelle]

Miss Higgs annoys me! Can't put my finger on why, but she does.

Definitely no warm fuzzies there at all. Not like when Ms Tish-Maguire speaks. She has a lovely open manner.

Larry Ryckman ‏@larryryckman · 2m2 minutes ago
Sather: it wasn't clear whether JH didn't understand or just didn't care about exam. They didn't want to rattle him. #theatershooting

Will C. Holden ‏@will_c_holden · 1m1 minute ago
On #theatershooting defense cross, Sather says Holmes was "scattered" during failed exam. Profs felt they hadn't done good job directing him
