CO - James Holmes Trial Discussion - Begins April 27, 2015 # 7

[I'mjazzed]

Is anyone here watching on - http://www.thedenverchannel.com/aurora-movie-theater-shooting/trial-live
They always have a running blog underneath, & I've refreshed several times & the area is blank?
Thanks

For me it only works when I bring my zoom down to 125% or less. Anything higher than that and the blog disappears on my sceen.

Dr. Reid said he examined Holmes in jail prior to #theatershooting mental health exam & shook his hand to decrease possible shock of meeting

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

He knew when it was time to examine JH and they set that up in late July 2014 - long time after event
Impacts - my interviews all took place 2 years after the shootings. Lots had happened in that time

Larry Ryckman ‏@larryryckman · 44s44 seconds ago
Reid notes that his interviews occurred 2 years after #theatershooting. Snapshot of JH in 2014, not in July 2012

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

Some things were important. What you see in video is 2014 not in 2012

This is the only taped interview of JH

Larry Ryckman ‏@larryryckman · 55s56 seconds ago
Reid: Video means Reid doesn't have to take notes. Allows him to be more engaged with subject. It's a better record. #theatershooting

He did video of interview to

- He doesn’t have to take notes; distracting
- If someone wants to critique, they have it

- You don’t have to trust my memory. The video is there.

- Lawyers want to be present. It’s interfering w. quality
He can show attorney what happened
Being sure all can see and hear what the interview was. & see JH.

Reid: The camera was visible, not hidden. Reid and JH were only ones in room at the time during interviews. #theatershooting

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

Camera is right there. He is told and understands it’s there

Reid also says he video taped the interviews so he didn't have to rely on his own memory, atty's can see everything. #theatershooting

--The Gold Patrol™ ‏@thegoldpatrol · 2m2 minutes ago
#theatershooting

He has video set up and videographer leaves so JH and himself are only ones in room

Each of 9 segments, videographer left with JH interview
Dr Woodcock, psychiatrist, saw JH within 2-4 days of shootings. No taped interview, Defense invest. present.
Months later, he wrote a report - March 2015

#theatershooting

Dr Woodcock didn’t generate report until March 2015 - the guy who saw JH 2-4 days after shooing
Called Woodcock about interview. JH saw him for 2.5 hours

Woodcock never said JH lacked capacity to know right form wrong or form intent to act, deliberate, plan

Woodcock never said JH was insane

Yowza..no meds until November of 2012....
