Quite tellingly, she referred to Holmes as "the defendant" throughout her direct testimony. A choice not missed by the Defence, as on cross examination, they asked her did she always refer to Holmes as the "defendant" or was it just after he'd been charged. Obvious question, but, of course, the defences job is to humanise their client, at any chance!
Some things of note in these chats:
- The beginnings of their relationship
- Discussions with Datta about wanted to kill people
- Discussions about his college work
- How his thought process was operating in tandem with planning the theater shooting
- Discussions about mass murder
- Datta advising Holmes to get some help from a therapist (he called it the mind rapist, or The Rapist (a play on the word "therapist"
- etc; etc.
