CO - James Holmes Trial - *Penalty Phase* #2

[Maisiebelle]

Does not want to appear the bully.

Or maybe it's a subliminal message to the jury that says he isn't concerned about anything that's being presented?

From Jan-July 2012, Robert Holmes says he talked to his son at least once, traded a few emails, but not much contact "We knew he had broken up with his girlfriend and we also knew, the way he put it, the professor in his second lab got 'peeved.'" a few seconds ago

Robert Holmes says he spoke to his son on the 4th of July, 2012. It was arranged by email in advance Phil Tenser

Holmes eventually got into Univ of Colorado-Denver. Had "not much" contact with family in first half of 2012, father says. #theatershooting

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

I think JH had a much better upbringing and loving family.

I wonder how JA is enjoying her new prison life. Haven't seen anything since sending her away.

I think something happened in Salinas that caused them to move back to San Diego.....mom/dad infidelity? Jimmy in trouble or accused of something?....abrupt move and family counseling

 

[NotMyselfNEMore]

some---but not on and on like this is going---Could be also we have heard so much BS this week about his childhood---2nd grade teacher, 5th grade teacher--etc

And don't forget the elementary school attendance secretary, lol! It's almost as if the defense has no concept of when to stop. I guess they really are going for the quantity vs. quality mitigation, IMO

If the shooter looked "sick and weak" in dec 2011 why didn't his parents do more to check on him?

Historically when we talked to him on the phone we get yes or no answers and little content, but this time it was different minute ago

Robert Holmes says they'd heard from Dr. Fenton at that point and knew his son was dropping out Robert Holmes says Dr. Fenton called his wife, and he understood his son was dropping out and seeing a psychiatrist seconds ago

Robert Holmes says "she didn't tell us much, and that is part of what motivated us to get on the phone with Jim" Phil Tenser

Mom cracked the whip and said get a job or get out! Dad was concerned JH wasn't happy #theatershooting

Does not want to appear the bully.

I think it's more about letting Def. OPEN those BARN doors...I also think he see's something in the jury as not appearing too interested as well... But who knows??

Robert Holmes says "she didn't tell us much, and that is part of what motivated us to get on the phone with Jim" Robert Holmes says he'd been reading about Aspergers and believed it might fit his son ago

"we called him and we had what, for us, turned out out be a really long conversation"a minute ago

"He was talking quite a bit and he didn't seem depressed" Phil Tenser

Family learns Holmes is seeing a psychiatrist. Concerned, parents call him on July 4, and he is unusually chatty. #theatershooting

Slightly OT-

for those who are interested in what its like for the family members of people like JH, Lifetime Movie Network has been doing a series called "Monster in my Family" which features family members of notorious criminals - the woman who leads each episode (and was featured on the first episode) is the daughter of a serial killer (can't recall his name right now). Its really good.

[Maisiebelle]

Where did they get these voice mails from? Did the shooter leave them on his machine for months?

Holmes' dad more personable in calls to son than on #theatershooting stand. Detaching may be coping mechanism. Live: http://link.kdvr.com/1LTcXWg

Jury hears voice mails father left for Holmes in spring of 2012 to see how he was doing. "We kinda miss you here..." #theatershooting

 

[Whiteorchids]

I wonder why it was Dad who always called and not Mom?

 

[I'mjazzed]

I think JH had a much better upbringing and loving family.

I wonder how JA is enjoying her new prison life. Haven't seen anything since sending her away.

Oh Me too.

Heres a link to a group here who have kept tabs on her since she was put away.
