  The doctor is not cold.  He is a human being and obviously feels for the parents of the victims but it would be extremely unprofessional to go up there and start showing his emotions.

  As a parent, sitting 15’ away from this animal while hearing what he did to your son or daughter would be absolutely gut wrenching. I genuinely don’t understand how they kept it together. The restraint the families showed during this trial is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen.

  I’ve read a few comments about Dr. Osbournes’ demeanor, and feeling that he seems a little “cold” when describing the injuries. Medical providers, whose job it is to deal with trauma/death day-in and day-out, definitely develop the ability to disassociate from their emotions. They couldn’t do their jobs if they didn’t. People having anxiety, shock, and stress reactions have difficulty thinking clearly. In these particular professions, we desperately need those among us who can put these emotions aside temporarily to do these very necessary jobs. These people, like anyone else exposed to violence in a society, do take all of this with them however. All of the witnessed trauma and violence to human beings, big and small, creates a type of PTSD that each deals with in their own way. The brutality of our world is an astonishing thing, and these dedicated professionals act as it’s witness.

  Seeing Gina's father's face when then doctor read his daughter's age, weight and height broke my heart. She was a little girl snuffed off the earth for no reason. As a parent, I know I'd never recover.

  Kudos to the professional doctor. Must’ve been very difficult to autopsy all those children.

  I appreciate the professionalism of the doctor. I can see he was masterfully covering them, but the emotions are there. That is clearly a man who cares very much about his job, and is ensuring that his testimony is as thorough and respectful as possible to get justice for these victims. Checking on his notes for accuracy is already important, but the fact that he ensured it was acceptable to refer to them each time - he wanted to be sure nobody had room to say anything about it later. He is a man covering his bases and taking his job so seriously. He has my respect.

  As a medical professional we are trained to separate our emotions to our visitors/patients. There’s a certain extent that we have to protect our own emotions as well. If you allow yourself to feel everything we wouldn’t be able to work in the field we are in

  The look on the faces of the parents absolutely breaks my heart. I could never be so strong as them.

  The doctor is amazing. I can see in his eyes he bears emotions and empathy for the parents, but you can&apos;t hear it and you can&apos;t see it from his body language.<br><br>He is very professional and that&apos;s what I imagine the parents wants. They are going through enough pain as it is, imagine watching a professional break down that has dealt with death so many times.<br><br>That would crush them completely.

  Hearing the autopsy findings, it’s like being able to see/ understand how it all played out and the fact that he literally doubled back to kill people he had already maimed and shoot them at point blank range shows that he knew exactly what he was doing. He wasn’t insane or having a mental break, he was just angry and full of hate and wanted to do as much PERMANENT damage as possible. I feel really bad for the families. They didn’t deserve any of this and neither did the kids who died / were injured and the teachers.

  All I can think about is how that father began to cry when they read his child’s height and weight….I’m sure all he could think about was the day they were born and how much they weighed then😢 so sad I would never want to experience anything remotely this painful
