RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said McClintic knew exactly why she was buying garbage bags and hammer but she tried to evade reality

On the 401, she said Rafferty said "you know I'm going to *advertiser censored** her right?" Crown says McClintic knew what would happen, Tori would be killed

Gowdey showing the crown's belief that McClintic is equally guilty, but says the crime scene details are accurate.

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Crown: Jury should be comforted and confident that even though she’s a convicted murder and a liar, her evidence can be relied on.

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Crown: “She may have changed her story about who killed Tori… but much of the detail she gave is supported by independent evidence” #sl

Crown going thru evidence from McClintic that was confirmed by independent evidence during trial

 

[Sailor Bug]

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said DNA evidence in car, details of Tori's injuries, clothing , landmarks at crime scene - all confirmed by other evidence

...the ATM transaction, going to Armstrong's house, buying the hammer and garbage bags at Home Depot, crime scene layout and sex assault.

Gowdey says the spots of DNA on the car and the gym bag do confirm the sexual assault happened.

 

[Sailor Bug]

RaffertyLFP: Gowdy continues with Rafferty's clean up with bottled water, disposal of shoes, change of clothes, cutting rear seat - all confirmed

He notes details of the clean up, throwing out the shoes, McClintic getting shoes/clothes, cutting the back seat, landmarks on the 401...

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said at least 25 details of McClintic's testimony can be confirmed independently - Why would she make it up?

... And the route from Woodstock to Guelph were all among the 25 independently confirmed pieces of McClintic's testimony Gowdey referenced.

On the 401, she said Rafferty said "you know I'm going to **** her right?" Crown says McClintic knew what would happen, Tori would be killed

I don't get it. Didn't she take a child for MR to rape in the first place?

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Crown listing more than 20 things McClintic said that are confirmed by evidence


Avery Moore ‏ @AveryFreeFMNews
Gowdey list 25 things McClintic said that were later independently confirmed by witnesses, police officers, video etc

 

[Sailor Bug]

Gowdey notes there were some lies, but why give police that much detail if Rafferty was just an innocent dupe?

Going over the details of the car wash clean up Rafferty and McClintic did, and getting rid of evidence.

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said McClintic's testimony should be considered with "caution" especially the difference between May 24 confession and at trial

Sounds like he was making sure she knew he meant it. Or maybe he was excited and bragging about it.

ITA ... seems he was reaffirming, just in case she wasn't really prepared for that aspect and thought it was all just about a dare re kidnapping a kid.

@GAGATOLA Crown says TLM was not an entirely credible witness but she also had little reason to lie. She's already serving a life sentence

Not only "why" she would make up such detail, but "how" could she make up so much that was subsequently supported by the evidence.
