CBC:
Amber Hildebrandt reports: "Williams asks, "Really?" Family members in court are heard gasping after hearing this. The officer asks about Comeau. 'Is there any reason at all - we're searching computers and BlackBerrys and looking through houses at diaries etc. - is there any reason at all that Comeau would've referenced you in some of her writings?,' says Smyth. Williams says, 'Not at all.'"

CBC:
Amber Hildebrandt reports: "Smyth asks Williams if he's done any off-road driving near Hwy 37. Williams says no. The officer then says, "Would it surprise you to know that when the CSI people were looking around Lloyd's property they found tire tracks looking like a vehicle left the road. They examined the tire tracks. Tire tracks are a major source of evidence for us. They identified those tires as the same tires from your Pathfinder.'"

Lianne Elliott:
Det. Insp. Chris Nicholas, the lead OPP investigator on the case, has praised Det. Sgt. Jim Smyth's work conducting the interview.

"It was an excellent piece of police work," he told CBC News before the proceedings got underway today. "It's one of the best interviews I've ever seen. It's a smart man being outsmarted by a smarter man."

10:28

CBC:
Amber Hildebrandt reports: "The Crown forwards to three hours into the interview when police have a footprint comparison to show Williams. Smyth tells Williams that one expert believes footprint matches can be as telling as fingerprint matches. He then says, 'These are identical. Your boots walked to the back of Jessica Lloyd's house.' Williams does not deny or respond to the evidence. Smyth notes that throughout the interview more and more points towards Williams."

Lianne Elliott:
Det. Insp. Chris Nicholas told CBC News earlier that there's no sense of regret during the taped confession. "I've never seen any remorse from Russ Williams," he said. "Russ Williams entered that interview with complete denials at the start and with a confession at the end." He notes Williams has written apology letters. "I believe they will be introduced as evidence today, and then, as I say, people can judge whether he's remorseful or not."

Greg McArthur - Col. Williams responds, "Toyo," the same brand of tire track that was recovered next to Ms. Lloyd's home. Greg McArthur - Det. Sgt. Smyth stops playing around and gets to the facts: What kind of tires do you have on your Pathfinder?

Greg McArthur - Det. Sgt. Smyth keeps jumping back and forth between Ms. Lloyd's murder and Ms. Comeau's murder. It's clearly strategic, and maybe an effort to trip him up in the lie.

10:29 RobsonDan: Williams sees the boot print matches. Shakes his head. Doesn't say word. Keeps shaking head. He looks scared. This is the moment.

10:29 smithjoanna: RW is nodding. Time is 18:08 on Feb. 7. Det keeps saying it's getting beyond his control.

Apparently it's 19:30 that he breaks down and confesses....

Here is the evidence picture released yesterday:

This evidence photo was released by the court and shows tire marks and footprints made by Russell Williams while near Jessica Lloyd's home​

http://www.cbc.ca/news/pdf/williams-crime-map-big-1000px-101910.pdf

Footwear A and footwear B? Does this mean he changed boots, as he did in another location, where he put on the homeowner's footwear and stomped in the snow to cover his original tracks?

Those bootprints look exactly like some photos I saw from the G20, and the boots had a yellow logo on the bottom.

 

[Wondergirl]

Smyth: Every time I walk out of this room, another issue comes up and it is an issue that points at you, not away from you.

Smyth tells Williams that the footwear impression of the boot he is currently wearing match the print found at the scene.

"Your vehicle drove up to Jessica's house and your boots walked up to it.

"This is getting out of control Russell, really really fast."

Crown stops footage to tell courtroom that now an officer will come in with Williams’ boots.

Smyth says at the beginning he talkd about how he’d treat Williams with respect, but that “the problem is that every time i walk out of this room there are issues that come up. They are not issues that point away from you. They point to you.”

He shows Williams the match between the footprints near Lloyd’s house, and a photocopy of his footprint, which he’d just given to the police.

Williams leans forward toward the table where Smyth has the evidence. he says they are identical. Williams is silent, but nods quickly and slightly.

Smyth says they need honesty because this is getting really out of control really, really fast. Williams sighs deeply. Shifts, continues leaning forward.

Smyth says we called you in to give you the benefit of the doubt. but you and I both know you were at Jessica Llody’s house. adn I need to know why.

Silence. Williams takes something in his hands out of camera view. Stares. “I don’t know what to say,” he says finally. Putting the evidence back on the table.

Smyth tells Williams that his wife now knows what’s going on becase his homes are being searched, ahd his SUV has been seized. He says that both of them know that evidence will be found before the evening is over. He tells this is his opportunity to take some control, and that his opportunity to offer some explanation is quickly expiring. That the cops are applying for a warrant to search his office.

Williams sigsn. Shift. Looks at something again, likely the prints. Pauses. Smyth calls his name twice. “Russell. Russell.” On the second time, Williams looks up, almost startled. “Huh?” Smyth says he knows that Williams’ mind is racing.

Williams looks at Smyth and encourages him to step up now, rather than wait for the evidence to come out after without him.

10:32
CBC:
Amber Hildebrandt reports: "The officer presses for an explanation and mentions search warrants. He believes the DNA found on Comeau will likely match Williams. Williams nods and says uh-huh. He is staring down. The officer says it's 'all over' and encourages Williams to tell the truth."

10:34
CBC:
Amber Hildebrandt reports: "Williams is silent. The officer mentions Paul Bernardo and says, 'I don't see that in you. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you've got me fooled.
This is over. And it can have a bad ending, where Jessica's parents continue to wonder where her daughter is lying. What are we going to do?'"

10:36
CBC:
Amber Hildebrandt reports: "Williams is silent throughout. His arms are crossed and he's staring downward. In court, his head is hung as usual. In the video he tells the officer, 'Call me Russ please.' These are the only words he utters before returning to silence. The officer asks again about Jessica. There is more silence from Williams."

"Call me Russ" he says, after a long, anxious pause. He rubs his face.
