ENHANCED Video shows James Holmes as he falls or jumps off bed in Jail

A still of the video shows James Holmes standing on his jail bed

CENTENNIAL, CO: The defence continued to present their case in the trial of the so-called Theater Shooter, on Tuesday June 30 2015.

They showed the jury video of the gunman in jail.

The video, from November 2012, is significant to Holmes' insanity defence, as it allegedly shows the beginnings of a nervous breakdown, or psychotic break, the accused suffered in jail.
In the video, James Holmes can be seen standing on his bunk and then jumping or falling backwards to the ground.

You can view an enhanced version of the video played in court, below.

The trial continues.

READ: GMAIL EXCHANGES BETWEEN #JAMESHOLMES & HIS GIRLFRIEND

On Wednesday, June 10th 2015, Gargi Datta, took the stand in the trial of James Holmes. She attended graduate school with Holmes from 2011 until he dropped out the following June. For some of that time, Ms Datta, who came across as very intelligent, confident, was Holmes' girlfriend. And once again, she showed her maturity and confidence, by being not one bit embarrassed to speak of the personal nature of her relationship with James Holmes.
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.

READ: James Holmes' Notebook

USPS America Scientists Forever Stamps

The much discussed, and up until now, little seen notebook of James Holmes has come into the public domain. First brought up at trial during the opening statements for both sides, each offers their own view of its importance. For the prosecution; the notebook is a clear and concise map to mass murder. For the defence; a pure example of the workings of a seriously ill man.
But now through testimony over the past couple of days the notebook, which Holmes had mailed to his campus psychiatrist Dr Lynne Fenton before the shooting, has been laid open to the public.

We learned, through the testimony of Sgt. Matthew Fyles, that it was intercepted at the mail centre before it reached its intended destination. It was in a manilla-type envelope with bubble wrap. On the front the aspiring scientist had attached sixteen stamps from a very specific collection: the USPS American Scientist "Forever" stamps. Four rows of each scientist. We also learned that there was a post-it type sticky attached to the notebook, on the front was this symbol (which had previously been found on a calendar in Holmes' apartment, etched on the date of the shooting):

On the back of the sticky note read: "Who, what, where, when, why and how." This symbol was found a further three times throughout the notebook, as per Sgt Fyles. 

Also contained within the envelope was twenty $20 bills, some of which were burned.

And then the testimony turned to the contents of the notebook itself. We learned that Holmes' had written the notebook for three people; his mother, his father and his sister. We also learned that he had an "obsession to kill." Read the full notebook below.
