[Kamille]

The boss is away, and you know what they say.....I'm around today to post tweets. Kamille, you have been doing a fantastic job, so if you want to keep up with the Tweets, I won't stand in your way (I'm EST so before the lunch break works best for me). I can't believe its the last day of prosecution witnesses. Anyone else feel like its been quick?

You're doing a great job ILoveDateline. I've been in and out all day again so thanks for keeping up with tweets. Between you, aber and myself, hopefully we can keep it up if the defence does decide to present a case.

So the defense team isn't really doing much. Too bad this whole thing had to go to trial.

Well, I'm going to guess there was a deal for significant jail time (for at least two back to back life sentences = 50 years, or maybe more) and DS or Defense declined it. The Crown saying fine, we'll go to court and let the jury convict you for 75 years. JMO.
