That is kind of creepy if they just blurred out the bodies and put the picture back up. But I suppose a lot of money was spent on that project and it would all be for nothing if they couldn't use those pictures.

They probably didn't just blur the bodies - in digital imaging you generally use a cloning tool and replace the pixels in the area you want to conceal with pixels from a nearby area. However, you often can see the distortion - depends on the skill level of the imager.

Its not the first time this has happened either - back in 2009 Google maps had a satellite image from California which showed the body of a 14-year old boy who was murdered by the side of train tracks. The father of the boy had to make a big fuss about them having it edited/removed. They did it, but it took a week or so.

That article makes it sound as though JO testified that KL and NO were awake when she left at 11pm? Cuddling on the pull out couch?

MOO

I've wondered for a while if Jo told her mother she was leaving with the baby. If it was me I would definitely wake my mom up to tell her if I was leaving my other child there. I think Nathan and Kathy went up to the spare room to sleep once Jennifer left.

I thought JO testified that everyone was asleep when she left? KL may have heard her leaving though and gone upstairs with NO

The defence is not challenging Arns' qualifications; however, Crown still goes through her C.V. in detail prior to her testimony. #Garland

I was surprised how hard it was to hear the details about the DNA evidence yesterday.

Todays testimony may help to understand the movements of DG as he bludgeoned the poor victims.

Prayers for the Liknes family, the jury, the courtroom attendees, their community, and our virtual WS community. We are blessed to be able to witness justice being served in countries that have a fair and democratic style of justice.
