The amber alert was issued shortly before she was found. The amber alert led to information about the father and his vehicle. I am connecting the dots to understand that once they found that she was not with her father, it gave them enough to enter his home where she was found around the same...

To edit and add- the mother actually went to the police station at 6:30pm and had information that the father had sent her a message threatening harm to himself and Riya. But it would be 5 hours until the alert was issued?!

It seems that the amber alert was late being issued. She was to have a 3 hour visit with her father- to be returned by 6:00pm. Her mother called police by 6:30pm. The father had made threats but the Amber alert was issued until after 11pm. 5 hours is a long time to wait on this! IMO

I’m sorry, little one. You showed that people around the world can come together to pray, hope, love and work to save one little one. You showed us how valuable life is, no matter how small. Our hearts break but will also grow. While faced with heartbreaking tragedy, may we not be overwhelmed by...

I think this is saying that it has not yet happened- not that it isn’t going to happen. Reports do seem to confirm that a 5th is needed.

The page from her planner was submitted that it was printed from her outlook calendar, not a binder planner. The handwritten notes on it were from phone calls she took while on the road, the day she was last seen. They were handwritten and not printed out. This leads me to infer that she...

I think he is crying because it's all over. His field trip passes to court are done and he lost everything and the charisma and perception of his own intellect were not enough to fool anyone. He is done.

And justice will be served. I felt confident. The judge knew what she was doing. The judge was careful to identify the weak evidence as not being grounds for her verdict to leave less for any appeal.

It was not available in Canada anyway.

You say that like DM would care about what his own mother wanted. I think you give him a bit too much credit. DM does what is good for DM and I suspect he would let his mother know what she wanted. jmo :)

The contact with MS was the following evening after DM "discovered" the body. There were likely more texts that were not recoverable and likely texts that didn't have bearing on the case. I don't think there is any evidence of phone contact with MS the night of his father's murder. I think DM...

My thoughts are that RP didn't have anything to contest the admissibility of the statement to police except for DM saying he was detained there. That would mean that DM would need to be called as a witness and there is no way they want that. jmo

MB's willingness wouldn't matter if they needed her as a witness.

I think there is a lot to say that they did bungle this. If DM and his mother were not upper middle class, the investigation would have gone differently. There is not evidence to support a suicide. Only speculation and the word of his son. There was no suicide note. No previous reported...

It would just offer more to speculation. She isn't on trial. She was observed to be very distressed. Not a reliable witness and someone that will do anything she can to not help the crown's case. It would open up doors for her to state things that could prove helpful to the defence. The...

I also think they are still going to argue the admission of the video statement as evidence - to state that DM was forced to make a statement, etc.

Gotta wait a little longer. Crown gets to respond.

I think what could be said is that it may be the opinion of some that the police investigation was influenced by the other charges and trial investigations. Just a thought to help clarify what someone might have meant. This investigation was certainly influenced by the other trial...

IMO, this is all important information that the judge should use in considering this evidence but I don't see this as being grounds to dismiss this witness and his evidence and opinion altogether.

I feel that RP could have avoided this whole argument by finding his own expert to run the tests to prove his theory that WM ended his own life by shooting the gun. But clearly, this was impossible so all he can do is try to "shoot down" the crown's expert.
