Aurora hearing: new gut-wrenching testimony likely

Excerpt:

CENTENNIAL, Colo. There was plenty of horror in the courtroom as Aurora police officers gave detailed accounts of the grim scene after a gunman killed 12 and wounded dozens of others during a July rampage at a packed movie theater. What was missing Monday was an explanation as to why James Holmes, 25, might have launched the attack. That's what drew dozens of survivors and reporters to the first day of what is expected to be a weeklong hearing to determine whether Holmes will stand trial for the shooting. "I mean, basically my son came out here to go to school. He never came back. He came back in a jar. So I would at least like to know what happened," said Tom Teves, of Phoenix, whose 24-year-old son, Ale, was killed in the attack.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
