near the door. they have cleared the rest of the scene. a lot of neighbors saying they are stunned that someone that took the lives of ten people randomly at a college lived next door. john. of course, the reason they are going through the apartment carefully is the history of shooters booby trapping or setting explosives off or leaving something behind. he clearly had a knowledge of the shootings because he wrote about them in blog posts. any sign they took anything dangerous from the apartment or is it too early to tell? reporter: we have not seen all of the things they may have taken out of the apartment. we just noticed a couple of things. just by sight. we were looking through the bushes. they carried a couple of things out. we noticed they had what appeared to be an evidence van parked here for a couple of hours. the reason why they came in with
colorado. john good morning. reporter: good morning, jose. right now a final pre-trial conference going on. as you say the opening arguments will be in few hours. this isn t so much a who done it as what made him do it. the question is what made him do it, the defense says it was an act of insanity it was a psychotic break. the prosecution says it was a calculated act of revenge and anger and to prove their point, the point to bolster their point, they pointed out what the planning went into this the amount of ammunition he amassed, the plans he made about the attack in the theater, booby trapping his apartment, and legal analysts say that s going to be the toughest obstacle for the defense as they bleed not guilty by reason of insanity. they have to convince the jurors that not only was he insane when he committed the crime, but he was insane when he took all
injured after the incident. the argument here on the insanity plea is it s essentially a psychotic moment. you can piece together over three months of psychotic episodes. i can t understand how the defense could possibly achieve that result. now remember there are going to be five experts, fredricka, two for the prosecution, one for the defense, and two independent experts, psychiatrists, testifying engaged by the core. and studies show that ordinarily injuries will look to the independent studies, but you said earlier, we have no idea what they re going to say. and that s where this case turns. all right. all starts monday avery, richard, thank you so much. of course, you know i think some people may have forgotten about the painstaking process of the booby trapping of the apartment. that plays a significant role in all of this. appreciate you guys.
let s start with the first thing that you went over, the booby trapping of the house. i have known my brother for years. he had trouble setting his water thermostat on his hot tub. my brother was one of the kindest people you ve ever met in your life. he worked diligently to save animals. he was not only a father figure and an uncle to the anderson children, he was to many other people, as well. the kind of the man that i know him to be, it s it doesn t add up. it doesn t make sense and for me, i need facts and i need evidence, real facts. obviously, the police are making it pretty clear that they believe he did set fire to the house. right. that he did commit a double-murder. uh-huh. and that he kidnapped hanna
