Jury selection to begin in trial of James Holmes in Colorado theater massacre

It will have been 914 days since authorities say Holmes burst into a packed suburban movie theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora, tossed a tear gas canister into the crowd and opened fire. The first panicked 911 call came at 12:38 a.m. on July 20, 2012.

The gunshots came less than a second apart, round after round, until 12 people were dead and more than 70 others injured, some permanently, in the barrage of shotgun and semiautomatic gunfire let loose during a screening of the Batman movie "The Dark Knight

snip

The Holmes trial is expected to last much of 2015; jury selection could take until late spring. And should the death sentence be imposed upon Holmes, now 27, legal experts predict two decades of appeals.

A staggering 9,000 summons were mailed to prospective jurors in Arapahoe County. It is a net so wide that in a county with about 500,000 eligible jurors, nearly 1 in 50 residents could receive notices.

But first a jury must be seated.

Good Morning, y'all!!

You got your coffee...or like me, 5 hour energy, on board?

I think this day could be interesting...but a bit boring at the same time. Might be a bit more difficult to remain focused...just because we won't have different witnesses and lawyers, different voices and subjects.

But I am looking forward what we are going to see!!!!

Simply a curiosity question...how does it being released vindicate her? Is it now known what her source was? I am assuming no, based on the 1st Amendment. I don't know why, but I find it spectacular when someone in the Press willing to go to jail for their craft!
 
Lots of housekeeping this morning!!!

Juror #706 needs to speak to Judge.

I do too! I for one might cave---like creature comforts of my home! But I had forgotten all the hoopla over the "notebook"
 
Silly me--didn't have the video on nor the volume.....:scared:
 
Judge is discussing whether its appropriate for witnesses to give an opinion on JH acting 'detached from reality'. The judge is offering to give a cautionary instruction to the jury to say these responses are based on observations and not expert testimony.
