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.

Back on the record with Brett Mills, Expert Witness from FBI Crime Lab Quantico regarding ballistics.

I am listening, while reading about other current cases (the DC Murder/Arson is fascinating...and has new info)

But I just can't follow and transcribe this witness. Too technical. I am listening though and if something jumps out at me as important, I will do my best.

So far, I have heard 270 impact points.
 
@larryryckman: Jury is in place. FBI agent Brett Mills back on the stand in the #theatershooting trial. Found 235 impacts in theater relating to bullets

@larryryckman: Mills recalls they found an additional 16 impacts in Theater 8. #theatershooting

@larryryckman: Mills says investigators plot the impacts and the trajectories. They placed trajectory rods, pink and yellow

@larryryckman: Mills: There were more holes in the theater than they could stick rods into. Depended on type of material, size of hole.

@larryryckman: Mills: Wood is very good to plot a bullet trajectory. He used engineering flags to plot shotgun pellets. #theatershooting

Bless you Maisiebelle!!!!
 
Watching Spangler...looks like she is ITCHING to object, to something...anything!!! (I could be way off...but that is what it looks like to me!)
 
@TrialDiariesJ: Side view of seats with rods showing how riddled w/ bullets those theater seats were...escaping this was near impossible

I wonder if she would object as much if she actually had to stand right up to do it!

@larryryckman: In some cases, bullets changed direction after hitting objects in #theatershooting . Bullets could have richoted off of bone, wallets, keys.

@TrialDiariesJ: JH seems really interested in these pics since he's looking at the big screen.

@TrialDiariesJ: Majority of shots were from right front of theater by exit
