Robert: the family went to Disneyland. Here, the siblings "got their ears," Robert says. #theatershooting

LOL! I love this tweet!

They do this to try and humanize him.

Didn't they show pics like this of Jodi Arias in the penalty phase?

"He wasn't really a phone person," Robert says of his son. #theatershooting

(perhaps that is why he didn't hang on when he called the Mental Health Unit right before the murders)

Good point. The two guys who testified yesterday both saw him in Dec 2011. They said he was exactly the same person they'd known for years.

This is something that Brauchler can point out with authority..Schizoaffective disorder just doesn't blossom inside of a few months...He was with his buds from College days..and he wasn't acting any different..the same ol' guy!!

I do think J's long histry he gave folks like Reid, Gur, Metzner, and all the other's has no actually documented history..only HIS story he had been researching about for a long time!! .. He knew how to talk, answer, what to say and give backstories ( unfounded in historical litany these teachers, church leaders, family, friends have been regurgitating for the past many days..

J. could have possibly sought out excuses for what his mission was and worked very hard to place blame on his therapist, his family, his professors, and so on....BUT for his high analytical brain function..he would never have been able to pull wool over experts eyes the way he has....

There's nothing in his upbringing to excuse (mitigate) what he did. Def. can play all the video, post pictures of every happy day in his childhood they want..It does not mitigate. It's solely for the purpose of seeking sympathy for the parents only..which could backfire in the end if they can't find one juror to swallow that..

I wish this witness, JH's father, would put some effort into not mumbling his words and stop his voice from drifting off at the end of his statement.

Isn't George Brauchler being very accommodating. Almost too much. Is he up to something I wonder ........

Robert Holmes said "If i had a major worry during that time, it was more that he didn't seem happy. He didn't seem depressed, but he didn't seem happy.: Phil Tenser

Maybe her family didn't take many photos or videos. Her family seemed like a dysfunctional family. Jodi moved out at a young age.

Not being happy is depression.

If I was on the jury this testimony would be getting on my nerves. It's not outweighing the aggravating factors one bit.

Me too, if I was on the jury, I'd have seen more than enough of happy holiday photos and videos.
I'd be wondering why they went to family therapy, if the only issue was 'Jimmy' having a hard time adjusting. Why not just take JH for some counseling, why the whole family?

They did but, it wasn't this detailed and no one spoke for her AND.. it didn't make me feel bad for her.

After undergrad, Holmes at first didn't get into grad school and moved home. Dad began to worry about his son. #theatershooting
