Common for them to see extended family over the years. When JH went to college she visited him there

I wonder if the parents will testify.

I'm sure they will---they are really trying to make him "human"

Takes me about 7 minutes to reload a page at WS on computer. I've transitioned to Tapatalk on my phone for this reason. Use phone now for about 95% of looking at threads, and don't comment much at all due to phone is so difficult to type with. For this reason REALLY appreciate folks who put screen shots within the threads and do a quick summary on the links (as opening links on phone takes a bit of time)

WS keeps crashing. It is the only link that does this. Sigh...maybe because the adds keep changing?

No doubt in my mind that they will. They have been very outspoken, and especially since we know the daughter is.

Holmes' sister: "In some part" it was typical 4 fam 2 discuss feelings pre-#theatershooting. Talking about passing of grandma (Mom's mom).

#theatershooting

Feelings were talked about in some part, but the death was something she couldn’t handle talking about

Cathy ‏@courtchatter · 2m2 minutes ago
We heard a lot of questions by Dr. Reid in the 22 hour interview with JH about his sister, Chris. #theatershooting http://www.courtchatter.com/#!james-holmes-trial-stream-2/c20xh …

I feel sorry for his sister. How awful must this be for her and their parents.

Higgs is now asking Chris Holmes about her relationship with her brother. #theatershooting

#theatershooting

Chris’s relationship with JH

- 1ST memories - they lived in Salinas and played sports in cup-de-sac

#theatershooting

She was 2 when they moved to Salinas. Was 7 when they moved back to San Diego

If this was not a DP case..None of this would be testified to until sentencing by Judge along with impact statements by victims. So this mitigating stuff is nothing more than to sway at least ONE juror to feel sorry for family and adults who have fond memories of this monster! By then the Judge would have already been aware of some of this stuff..But use his judgement to apply sentence.

Manipulation by Holmes in full throttle is all I can say!!

 

[zoey]

she drags this out sooooo long. Half the time I think she is unaware of what the answer will be and she is just meeting his sister...then that bit about happy times---and how wonderful he could be

JH used to read to her, try to feed her when she was a baby. They built forts in back yard as they got older.
