Ross says there is no evidence #Garland was in Liknes home, and couldn't have caused the deaths of Alvin, Kathy and NAthan. #yyc

Valerie Fortney ‏@ValFortney 43s43 seconds ago
"With no DNA found, no evidence placing Douglas #Garland" at Liknes home, he did not cause the deaths of Kathy, Alvin Liknes, Nathan.

Bryan LabbyVerified account ‏@CBCBryan 57s57 seconds ago
Ross says #Garland was not in that house, he did not cause the deaths of Alvin, Kathy and Nathan.

"No doubt there is DNA" of victims at #Garland farm; but it doesn't mean he caused their deaths. Says they are two separate events.

Bryan LabbyVerified account ‏@CBCBryan 30s30 seconds ago
Ross says there is no doubt DNA from victims found on some items seized at the farm, but it doesn't prove #Garland caused their deaths.

Kevin MartinVerified account ‏@KMartinCourts 42s42 seconds ago
Lack of #Garland DNA in Liknes home should lead jurors to conclude he didn't cause the deaths, says Ross.

Ross: No evidence linking Douglas #garland to the Liknes home and he couldn't have caused the deaths of Nathan, Alvin and Kathy #Garland

No just some DNA on meat hooks and burnt flesh. That's all.

There's no doubt that there is DNA of the victims at the #Garland farm, says Ross, but adds his doesn't prove his client killed them. #yyc

Have to give kudos for any defense lawyer for taking someone suspected of violent and gruesome murders as their client and meet and talk with them in close settings.

Ross: the hard drive, it can tell what searches are done, when, last search. Can't tell whether a website was opened or read. #Garland

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 54s54 seconds ago
Ross has moved on to the hard drive found at #Garland home in rafters. #yyc

Ross on the contents of the hidden hard drive, says Crown can't prove how much files were looked at #Garland #yyc

Lucie Edwardson ‏@MetroLucie 40s40 seconds ago
Ross suggests that court only heard about a fraction of the stuff found on the hard drive "small sampling". #Garland #yyc

Bryan LabbyVerified account ‏@CBCBryan 43s43 seconds ago
Ross is now onto the computer hard drive found in the rafters. Ross says there's no proof downloads were read, how long viewed #Garland

Valerie Fortney ‏@ValFortney 46s46 seconds ago
What jurors heard was on the hard drive was just a small amount on it, says Ross. #Garland

So why didn't he cross examine on it ... have his own examine it?

As for evidence of Jennifer O'Brien, Ross says she told her husband "my family's been murdered". Ross says this is "common sense" #Garland

This made me feel a bit sick. Using JO's words after she saw what she saw. I know they're just doing their job but it's a bit cold and insensitive IMO.

Valerie Fortney ‏@ValFortney 1m1 minute ago
"Look at the pools of blood, the saturations of blood, the drag marks," says Ross, arguing the family was killed in the house. #Garland

Where were the experts they called to prove this? Oh yeah, they didn't, because their testimony could have been challenged.

Not one expert called to disprove anything put forward by the Crown.
