Surprisingly not too bad. We got here early—I heard the line at the metal detector is really long. It looks like they may have quit lettimg people upstairs (courtroom level) for now.

So you are in the courtroom and seated? Our hearts are with you today! I don't even know what to say other than that. I'm glad you finally get to see a small measure of justice.

 

[JudgeJudi]

Less than 45 minutes to go, but who's counting ... WE ALL ARE.

There’s a line already forming outside the courtroom for the sentencing for Chris Watts. There’s lots of media here and a few family friends. @DenverChannel

10:45 AM - 19 Nov 2018

Nope. We’ll be in the main courtroom. Pretty close to the front of the line.

 

[Lore Listener]

I suspect that the judge will be brutal when he addresses CW.

GOD I HOPE SO. If ever there was a time for a direct and unsparing speech from a judge, this is it.

 

[PommyMommy]

Nope. We’ll be in the main courtroom. Pretty close to the front of the line.

Oh, that's great. Thinking about you!

 

[Melsworld]

I hope they have pictures like this up at sentencing, right in front of CW so he can have a visual of those three beautiful ladies while he is reminded of what he did.

And the video of Bella singing...my daddy is my hero.

 

[PommyMommy]

I suspect that the judge will be brutal when he addresses CW.

As he should be, right?!!! MOO

I can’t waaaaitttt

 

[Colorado303]

Well this is kind of surreal. I’m standing up in front of the docket. Where are you?

In line in the hall kind of even w/the wall clock.

Wish I knew what was beneath those asterisks I'm not getting any live coverage yet, just people talking about keeping Christmas packages secure.

For some reason WS blocks out the words 'ad' and 'b1ock'

 

[book-thinker]

After Chris Watts sentencing hearing today. I hope Shannon Watts family finds some peace
knowing CW will never be released from prison.

 

[esayer]

I’m working today so I’m counting on updates! I set HLN to record so I can watch it tomorrow or Wednesday. (My son is having surgery on his ankle tomorrow)

Any updates appreciated! Also updates on the DA interview at 1pm!

I have the day off and am online so I'll update! I usually start one comment then update the same one so I don't power post. I'll tag you when I start it I'm watching HLN.

 

[JEM1975]

@Colorado303 & @Feyinfrederick, we are all with you today in spirit and are praying for you!!

 

[margarita25]

Oh no I just had a thought, will HLN break for commercials? I/we better have our back up live streams handy for those watching on TV!
Busting out a second device.

Alright high tech here. Have HLN with the big screen recording, this device to post, and a second device for live streams.

The live streams are giving me fits. I hope HLN covers this whole thing without commerical interruption or too much commentary.

The Associated Press is in the house.

Sentencing hearing for #ChrisWatts, Colorado man who pleaded guilty in family killings set for 10 am (from @AP)

~40 people including national media have lined up for a courtroom seat this morning. Court staff have prepared an overflow room with video stream for those who can’t get in. #ChrisWatts

No updates from the courtroom but @AP’s Denver staff will keep updating our story this morning as the sentencing hearing for Watts gets underway.

Story:
Sentencing set for man after guilty plea in family killings
Watts will have an opportunity to make a statement during the hearing Monday in Weld County, but it’s not clear if he will speak. Watts is represented by the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender, which does not comment on pending cases.

Prosecutors have said Shanann Watts’ family members may decide to speak during the sentencing hearing.

Judge Marcelo Kopcow also ruled Thursday that Christopher Watts’ parents are considered victims of the crime because they are the girls’ grandparents. Victims are allowed to give a statement or provide written comments during sentencing hearings in Colorado.

@Colorado303 Hugs from all of us. We're all thinking of you.

The live streams are giving me fits. I hope HLN covers this whole thing without commerical interruption or too much commentary.

From a local perspective, Denver 7 should be the best to stream from because they always livestream things like this and usually they don't have problems

 

[JudgeJudi]

He likes being the centre of attention.

Guess what CW, thousands around the world will be watching you. I'm sure your family will be just thrilled. We are.
