Verdict: GUILTY!

[brighidin]

derstine:
reaction: his reaction - hard to predict

considering an appeal? MR's decision
was MR surprised? I don't know.
Surprised by length? Jury thought long and hard


Wasn't easy to guess what jury was thinking re: the questions and the sexual assault
Did you think this might be the outcome. Of Course. this was quite a strong case for the crown.

not comfortable talking about his convos with his client

do you think he really was a dupe? Says the only defense evidence was the one lady outside the school

was this a legal aid case? YES.

Hard for him to take cases like this? Never easy. Someone has to take them. Everyone empathizes with the child and family. If your child was accused, you would expect they would get a fair trial.

Can't hear the other questions very well.

Edit:
Believes he got a fair trial. We won all our challenges.

Derstine: the crown had a strong case.

Indeed! Even without the disgusting filth that wasn't allowed in!

I can't stop crying at the thought of poor Rodney running down the hall to hear the verdict.

So sorry you lost your little Princess, Tori.

You have been a true inspiration to Canadians everywhere, during this entire ordeal.

We love you, Rodney. Tori loved you too. Stay strong.

Just waking to this news. Five a.m. here in Riyadh and I'm crying great big tears of joy for Victoria.

Thank you online friends, thank you websleuths for keeping me informed when so far away from my home.

I wish I could give that jury, the police of Ontario and Crown and all of you a great big kiss and hug.

Lucky MTR's in Canada. If he were here, he would have been dead long ago. No trial, no rights, just a visit to chop-chop square.
