Gates: You and I do not have any expertise in any of these areas, however it is up to you to determine the facts in this case #Garland

Gates: expert opinions not really in dispute in this case. What is in dispute are the inferences you're being asked to draw #Garland

Kevin MartinVerified account ‏@KMartinCourts 59s59 seconds ago
If expert opinions relied on facts jurors don't find were proven their evidence may not be as helpful, says Gates. #Garland

The opinions of the experts are not in dispute in this case, says Gates. What inferences jurors are asked to draw are in dispute #Garland

Gates is explaining to the #Garland jury what weight to give to evidence from friends, family and even expert witnesses in the case.

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 1m1 minute ago
Other witnesses- such as the CCTV video witness- aren't considered experts and aren't entitled to opinion evidence. #Garland #yyc

Up to jurors to decide if similarities between #Garland truck and one seen on CCTV footage prove they are the same vehicles, says Gates.

Jurors must consider whether any statement attributed to #Garland help in his defence, judge says.

Gates says after the fact evidence is circumstantial, e.g. destroying evidence. #Garland #yyc


huh?

Jurors can consider Garland's post offence conduct, such as attempting to return to farm, in determining his guilt, says Gates. #Garland

A bit confused about that one. Did DG make any statements?

#Garland actions after the offence can be used to "support an inference of guilt" says Gates #yyc

Kevin MartinVerified account ‏@KMartinCourts 1m1 minute ago
Crown says #Garland also dismembered and burned bodies and his hard drive. Jurors can consider whether that proves guilt, says Gates.

"some or all of the after the fact conduct of Mr. #Garland may support an inference" that he committed an offence says Gates #yyc

Don't think so. Other than to his Mom about not wanting to talk about the Ls. Thats all I can think of, there may be more.
His actions though ... sneaking back to the farm. Crawling on his belly in the bushes - um no innocent person is doing that. IMO

"People sometimes do suspicious things for reasons other than guilt," says Gates. #Garland

Not sure exactly what this means but "attributed" wouldn't be statments he made but rather statements others made about him.

Yes, I forgot about him sneaking back... He must have gave a phony reason.. Thanks.
