CENTENNIAL | Prosecutors Thursday asked the court to install systems that would keep victims or their families of the Aurora theater shooting from possibly seeing graphic images during testimony.

In a motion filed by prosecutors, district attorneys asked the courts to install screens or televisions to display crime scene photos or videos that would only be visible to defenders, prosecutors, judge and jury, but would be out of view to the public gallery and the single camera allowed in the courtroom. Defenders didn’t object to the motion, nor did attorneys representing the media covering the trial.

In a brief exchange March 19, Judge Carlos Samour Jr. told prosecutors he would confer with courtroom administrators to see what would be possible, but he said there could be limits on how far the court would go to shield victims or their families.

Prosecutor Lisa Teesh-Maguire said jurors could be provided with personal tablet computers to display evidence. Prosecutors offered to pay for any devices needed, although those costs weren’t specified.

“I’ve never had a murder trial where images aren’t shown. It’s a part of the trial,” Samour said. The court should be looking at the same screens as the jurors, he added.

“What’s different here than other murder cases?” Samour said.

Samour said that he understood the sensitivity that families may have to seeing crime scene photos, but that it would be weighed against having an open, public trial. Although there has been little opposition to screen public from graphic images from the grisly July 20, 2012 shooting, Samour has been cool to agree to extraordinary measures to keep images shielded from the courtroom.

Families can choose not to view the images, turn away, or leave the courtroom, Samour added.

“The law evolves,” Teesh-Maguire said.

In individual jury questioning March 19, three potential jurors were kept to the final phase of jury selection. So far, 82 potential jurors have been selected for the third, and final, phase of jury selection. In total, 24 jurors — 12 jurors and 12 alternates — will be selected to hear the case against accused theater shooter James Holmes.

Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 70 in the Aurora Century 16 movie theater July 20, 2012. He has pled not guilty by reason of insanity. If convicted, he could be sentenced to death.
