I also want to post that we'll likely see more things you may deem to be suspect from the judge as he gives the jury instructions. Based on the attached images our judicial system allows our judges a lot more leeway than other countries when in comes to addressing the jury.
Man I'm getting sick of finding links. I can't wait until I can just tell you all freely exactly what happened when jury is out and help your understanding and worries. The behind the scenes court process is really neat and eye opening. Takes away a lot of questions that I too would have if I wasn't seeing how it all goes down and why. Sitting in court wasn't just about the case for me it was about seeing the processes too.

From the point of view of being a juror myself once and at the young age of 20. I wish we had one. I needed one when it was over. Just my opinion.

Is it just me, or does the dolly in this picture appear to be modified?
And if that's a farm dolly, where's the strap for it? Hmm....
Also, I think there might be a reluctance to admit guilt to his parents. They were very good to him, giving him a nice home and freedom from having to work, and he snuck behind their backs and did this on their farm. How are they going to continue living there with the knowledge of what happened, what their son did to these innocent people, to a five year old boy?

Thank you for your service. I hope you were able to get some help and deal with your experience?
Those 2 properties are not close. Yes both east ish of airdrie but one is north and one is south.Not that I believe drugs directly played a role, It's possible Garland had connections to organized crime at the time of his meth cooking and even in BC, stealing a semi trailer.
The Garland acreage was on Range Road 291 -
Typical country like, snip from 2014
"Everyone on Range Road 291 knows each other and helps each other. "

It's possible there was no connection to this 2016 drug bust on range road 291, but it's sort of an odd coincidence. The two places must be very close to each other, both described as east of Airdrie.
"According to a release issued April 13 by CPS, the raid netted a quantity of stolen property, including vehicles, motorcycles, dirt bikes and license plates. Police also seized a number of weapons and drugs. Investigators believe the property was being used a storage facility for stolen property."

6.6 kms as per my mapping system measuring tool lolThanks, any idea how far apart? Yankee Rd isn't very far south and I may be wrong but I thought Garland's were east from the north side?

I'm still looking for answers. It was very hard especially when 2 children were murdered. The state trooper was convicted twice and overturned 3 times and then found not guilty the last time. It's a struggle knowing he's on the streets.

Oh gosh, that would make it all the harder to deal with. So sorry for you, serving on jury duty is certainly patriotic but that shouldn't make it a life sentence. Were you able to keep in touch with any other jurors?

Q to fellow sluethers: is there a part/topic you believe was covered in these "what the jury did not hear" times that you are particularly interested in? Where, maybe, it was touched on, then legal agreements and, either nothing more, or a total turn around happened? TIA. What are you dying to hear about?Once jury is sequestered for deliberations the media can write about the evidence not allowed in court. Will be interesting for sure!

I believe we have a thread for that case. :-(
So very sorry you went through such a traumtic case as a juror.
I just wanted to add that every province in Canada appears to have had a dedicated Juror mental health program in place for quite some time. Perhaps the judge was reading the informational packet to the jury?
From Oct,2014
"All Albertans who serve on juries will soon get free access to mental-health services.
The government is in negotiations with a counselling provider and is set to roll out the initiative in the coming months.
The program is part of the Juror Recommendations Project the result of a 300 page report from 2009 that aims to address the comfort of people who serve on juries.
Mental health of those citizens is a key aspect of that goal and starting soon, every prospective juror will be given a package at the outset of a trial with information about how to access the services."

That's what I was wondering. I was trying to find it with no luck. It was David Camm and Charles Bonet. Would you know where to look?

Just a couple of questions and a comment...
1. I keep thinking about DG's research...especially him researching something about the amount of force required to cause brain damage. I find it curious he was looking up that in particular, rather than the amount of force required to kill. Is there any possibility that could indicate he intended to NOT kill the victims at the house (but rather at the farm)? That he was looking up the amount of force that would injure but keep them alive? (Of course, that doesn't mean the whole thing unrolled that way during the actual crime. I'm just curious about his intent.)
2. Does anyone remember during which witnesses' testimonies the discussion in the court occurred excluding evidence or questioning (which wasn't in front of the jury, and can't be reported until after the trial)? Was it during the computer investigator? I'm just wondering if that revolved around Garland's freaky online activities (maybe chat rooms, photos, etc.) that wasn't allowed in the court because it wasn't directly relevant and would have prejudiced the jury...?
As for a comment, I just wanted to suggest that perhaps we should remove the pictures and background information on the female police officer involved in Garland's takedown from this forum. I know people were just trying to compliment her, but I know many police officers try to minimize any kind of public online presence, understandably, for their own safety. My $0.02!
