Testimony Inconsistencies Part I

When I attended some theater shooting hearings in October 2013, I was fortunate enough to hear testimony on the stand from multiple detectives and officers that were there that day.  One person is FBI special agent, Garrett Gumbinner. Unfortunately, there are no media articles that state exactly what he said about that spine board, so you're just going to have to take my word for it. The spine board in question has been a debated topic as nobody understands why it was shoved underneath James Holmes' vehicle at the crime scene. I've always believed it to be suspicious because it's just thrown under there, almost as if to hide it. What is it doing there amongst delicate evidence? And don't forget about those shattered windows on the passenger side of the car. Was someone James inside that car incapacitated and needing to be broken out and carried?

Mr. Gumbinner stated during his testimony on the stand in October 2013 that he believed that it belonged to EMT and noticed some blood on it. He was about to search the vehicle for bombs so he didn't want to "track blood anywhere." What better place to put it than underneath the car that you're about to search for incendiary devices? That sure gets it out of the way! This wasn't the first time that Garrett Gumbinner had testified on the stand about that spine board. At the preliminary hearing in January 2013, Blue Thunderr wrote up a very detailed summary of what was said. Thank goodness for her because I would have never caught this major discrepancy otherwise, since there are no articles mentioning it. Anyway, she heard Gumbinner state that the spine board was put under the car so the bomb squad could look under it. Seems safe, no?

So, why the change of story by the same individual?

Pieces of Garrett Gumbinner's October 2013 Testimony

Corbin Dates "Didn't Expect That At All."

Corbin Dates AKA Corbin Kent, aspiring actor and model, was seated towards the front of the theater (third row I believe), when he saw a man with a goatee take a phone call towards the exit. The same exit in which a gunman would enter just minutes later and cause a massacre. Corbin's witness testimony on day one states that he saw the man standing at the (ajar) exit door making gestures, as if to beckon someone over to him. There is no mention of bright red or orange hair whatsoever until that becomes a problem later on, obviously. Here is Corbin's reaction to seeing James Holmes for the first time in court: Corbin's Reaction

 So he clearly doesn't recognize James Holmes. Who was the man with the goatee? If only the reporter asked him if James was the man he saw exiting the theater. Simple, right? Guess not. Anyway, we can see from these interviews done in the few days after the shooting that Corbin looks uninjured and fine.  Well, according to police testimony at the preliminary hearing in January 2013, Corbin Dates was shot in the arm. !!! Uh, okay then....

Notice that "red hair" comment. Also at the preliminary hearing, Sergeant Fyles testified not only to the gunshot wound to Corbin's arm but also that Corbin actually DID see red hair sticking out of the man's beanie.  Well, whattya know? Pretty significant detail to just forget about in the beginning, huh?  I just can't anymore with these people. Was it "Lie for us and we'll add you to the victims list so you can be compensated appropriately"?
