Gunman's ex-girlfriend takes the stand in theater shooting trial

[@jacquelinecarle4224]

Most of the comments about this young woman are negative but, I think she did a good job, I mean can you imagine how embarrassing it must be for her, all eyes on someone that dated this sociopath, maniac, it can’t be easy being her, she must have felt intimidated when she was asked if she’d been intimate with him, I feel bad for her, remember she’s a victim herself, she’s not the one that did this horrific crime.

[@Tiffaloni]

Not one second of this was relevant

[@mikemusikable]

JollyBigChick Study this closer

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Like almost everything in the whole trial & medical exam, was irrelevant. The dude was caught red handed & admitted the whole thing. Why waste so much time, energy & tax dollars on this. I can understand if they wanna continue psyche evaluation on an ongoing basis, to see if they can figure out behavioral patterns. But everything else is a waste of time.

[@joshuatraffanstedt2695]

[@tocov]

She is a character witness. Not every testimony exists to present the jury with facts regarding the event in question. In the real world, everything in court needs to be established. Every evidence you bring up, every claim you make. If you want to make the case that the defendant is not insane, that he knows right from wrong, that he has normal feelings and relationships, that he is capable of feeling empathy and remorse, etc. Then you bring witnesses like this to the stand. To tell how normal and uneventful life with him has been. So much so that she can't remember specifics, like we all don't remember 90% of specifics regarding our lives several years ago. The DA is trying to establish that the defendant was completely sane and aware of his actions. And part of it is to first establish how normal he was, rather than an uncontrollable crazy kook.

[@SierNotsruht]

I mean, its just a coincidence that none of the info she provided was relevant to the shooting, maybe they just weren't that deep of a couple. Isn't really anything inherently wrong with the questions either

[@DOOMGENERATION]

I find it quite weird that she can't remember who asked out who. One usually remember that kinda stuff when you dated someone and became a couple in some way or another.

[@MrCjchamp2001]

I'm sure he didn't have the balls to ask her out

[@colbyelisabeth]

She probably blocked out any good memories once he killed those people

[@NuanceWithNiki]

It sounds to me like she wasn't that interested in him, so I don't think she would see it as important enough to remember

You all give plausible explanations, yeah. But looking back in my life I still remember most of the time who asked who out, even the ones I wasn't particularly that interested in.

So she can remember ALL the names of everyone who was ever in her class or seated with her at the table when James Holmes was there, but cannot remember simple details about her relationship with him like who spoke to whom first?!?! What a liar.

[@SSTrueLoveMarinus]

Absolutely. She's a freaking liar. I lost count how many times she answered "I don't remember". If she's lying, she's just as bad as him. She should be truthful so that victims find justice!

He was wearing bright blue sunglasses? Were the lens blue? Were they for a seizure disorder. She doesn’t sound like she knows him at all.

[@arsdelicata]

[@astralassassins]

They played dominion which is like magic For the first few years of its production, Magic: The Gathering featured a small number of cards with names or artwork with demonic or occultist themes

[@lionheartmerrill1069]

@ So Dope Sophia I have been watching some of the psychiatrist interviews & can't watch anymore. This girlfriend on the stand makes me wonder if her dumping him was a factor in what he did? You're the most recent to comment & you researched HH Holmes (did you see that Meghan Markle is a distant relative?) so maybe you know if it was determined the girlfriend influenced his schizophrenia? How about the demonic or occultist themes you mentioned, can that cause possession or maybe temporary possession in your opinion? In my mind this massacre had evilness involved. If you don't reply, no problem. Thanks.

[@astralassassins]

@@lionheartmerrill1069 yes it was occult and it was mind control. Quantum physics is the science behind understanding a lot of what goes on with mass murders and serial killers. Those with schizophrenia or bipolar have dna markers and a lot of times it’s because ur ancient ancestors were priest/priestess or shamans etc. but in todays age a lot of people believe in church and lock up or medicate priest/priestess or shamans. Also use the information they know about to influence their behavior as well as relatives behavior. It’s like the phantom limb where they cut ur arm off and u still can feel the pain. When u separate people who have the same gifts and one is being used to mirror the others u may be feeling ur phantom limb of your ancestors So playing a game based off of an ex presidents great great grandson James A. Garfield (who was assassinated) original game magic:the gathering, it can definitely influence those who are already on the frequency level to hear see and feel things on magnetic lay lines like the schizo shark. The royal society of England researched the Hatian revolution and went to Egypt and found info on animals such as sharks and dolphins that can communicate without being near each other. If one shark dances on one side of town the other shark does to. Having ancestors and family members locked up in mental wards controls other ancestors/(same dna relatives) in real time. Or if an ancestor is actually kidnapped u can experience their symptoms just like u r there and that presents as u looking all shirts of crazy. So having studied this for many years colonizers and world government know how to influence others to do their dirty work. And lots of occult’s and psychics work for government and mental hospitals, prisons etc. they also are involved in human trafficking. Hh Holmes said to his first wife he had hit his head a forgot everything and wanted to be back with her. How do we know he wasn’t telling the truth. Traumatization of the brain creates the perfect black hole or worm hole for energy to influence people. Hh Holmes was a swindler but he sold dead bodied for insurance schemes and had a hotel for other thing than what it’s meant for, he didn’t do this alll by himself he had other rich and government involved and he and like one other person err the only ones help totally responsible. During the time the world fair in Chicago was going on and there was a battle between two rich groups of people. They could have influenced the serial murders so that the fair would be shut down. Englewood Chicago must have a strong magnetic lay line there. Isn’t that the area of chiraq where blacks people are killing each other like a war zone. It may be energetic area. One day this will all be proven through science and then everyone will see that there are outside energies who can be very far from a crime scene that were actually the controllers of that persons energy.

[@astralassassins]

@@lionheartmerrill1069 yes I know about the Meghan markle link a lot of old families have a lot of occult enemies amongst them Like Hungary people have a lot of occult wars with English people. A lot of set up murders that look like accidents are those families are of Hungarian descent. The area where Hungarian is now was some territory of ancient huns before. Which is like a group of nomadic mixed looking people of all cultures. and I believe in reincarnation and I meet a lot of people and I’m like you look familiar later I end up just looking online randomly and find out they look like doppelgängers of the victims or murders of the online story!

+Victoria Lathrop OK. If you were asked to remember the EXACT first conversation you had with your best friend would you remember it? I doubt it. People become friends over a period of time. Involving numerous interactions. Think about it..........

+Joanne Babbage You just proved Victoria's point... What in the shit was the point of this testimony then?

[@sangeet9100]

To prove that he was interacting with fellow students and his girlfriend normally and was not crazy - she would have noticed something concrete if he was insane, she clearly said she didn't. Insanity excuse should be eliminated in murder cases. This murderer should have been shot to death at the scene; ridiculous that he's going to live

[@TekniQx]

+San Geet - While I agree this guy obviously has issues, the fact remains that this testimony was irrelevant considering it was years ago and the witness gives very little specifics. Who really knows what the fuck kind of mental issues he has. Plenty of psychopathic people display behavior that would be considered "not crazy" at numerous points in their lives, especially in social circles. Brain disorders, as far as the actual neurological understanding, is still in its infancy. It's quite fascinating how little we really do know about the brain.
