Oxton asked about the wide variety of handcuffs he found. Defence asks if it's something like a collector would gather. #Garland

Bill GravelandVerified account ‏@BillGraveland 1m1 minute ago
"Some of them are quite old, I was thinking 1800s or something like that," asked Kim Ross. Oxton agrees. #Garland

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 36s36 seconds ago
Oxton agrees with Ross that there were "a slew of cuffs" and could have been some sort of collection. #Garland #yyc

Oxton says he's never been to the farm before, doesn't know who these items belong too and that they were never fingerprinted. #Garland #yyc

 

[ABro]

Do you think it was necessary for defence to even cross examine her? All he accomplished was correcting her on something he ended up being wrong about.

Very unnecessary given they were wrong. And even if defence had been right I don't see the point.

Did anyone ever think the small cuffs were used on Nathan. I thought they were just found in his collection. Of course there wasn't dna found on them.

Moving onto starter pistol found ono #Garland farm. "Type that fires blanks," says Oxton. Doesn't fall into definition of a firearm

back to the needles...

Bill GravelandVerified account ‏@BillGraveland 1m1 minute ago
Ross says what police thought were acupuncture needles were in fact needles used for testing gas. Oxton said he wasn't aware. #Garland

Now discussing two Tyvek suits found hidden in the #Garland home - similar to what a forensic investigator would use.

I think defence is working to downplay the potential horror of some of the finds.

Onto Tyvex suits, chemical gloves: Not tested "There were no obvious stains on the suits to indicate they'd been used," said Oxton #Garland

Asking about listening device found @ #Garland home. Ross hands photo to Oxton. "used to catch a conversation on a phone," says Ross. #yyc

Bill GravelandVerified account ‏@BillGraveland 54s54 seconds ago
A listening device found in the #Garland residence was actually a device used to record telephone calls said Ross. Oxton disagrees.

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 1m1 minute ago
Oxton said when he looked up the item he found similar ones that use suction cups to hear through walls/doors. #Garland #yyc
