McClintic says that she thought #rafferty knew what he was doing in may 2009 statement

McClintic continues to assert that she killed Tori and not #rafferty

"I seen I seen he kicked her a couple of times like... He used the hammer ..." McC is seen in video telling police on May 24, 2009

McC continues to cry in the video. Her voice is blubbering

Crown is now reading back of transcript video to McC on the witness

McClintic says in may 2009 statement that she didn't watch the whole thing. #rafferty

"I told them he had committed the murder," McClintic says now. "But it wasn't him that hit her, it was me."

Another video. McClintic describing where Tori was lying after she was murdered. She was lying in the fetal position on the ground.

They are playing video from her original statement that she now says she lied about.

I was wondering why there was no mention of her taking the garbage bags out of the trunk. Huge gap in the events that happened. I expect the comparison between her 2 testimonies will explain.

But, I thought the video they are playing right now is from May 24th, as tweeted, unless that is totally misinterpreted.

Are you saying this video interview is her original one where she said he did it? :waitasec:

Sorry, I am completely confused. :waitasec::waitasec::waitasec::waitasec::waitasec::waitasec:

She says Rafferty hit her with the hammer "a couple of times". She says Rafferty made her help put more garbage bags over Tori.

McClintic "it wasn't him who did it, it was me" said today. #rafferty

RaffertyLFP: In next video clip sobbing McClintic said she was Rafferty hit Tori a couple of times and he made her help put her in a garbage bag

In the second clip shown, McClintic tells Det.-Sgt. Jim Smyth that she saw Rafferty kick Tori a "couple times." She also says "he used the hammer" to hit Tori in the head and there was no blood spatter because there were garbage bags on her head

Gowdey asks her if that was the truth. "It was true but it wasn’t him that did it, it was me," she tells the court.

Crown "why we're you choosing to tell police that Michael rafferty had done these things?"

McClintic "he was the one that wanted to kidnap a child. He was the one that raped that child so he was the monster that killed her

She told police there was blood on the lower half of Tori's body. That's the end of the third interview clip.

@AM980_Court
In court, Gowdey asks McClintic why she lied to the police about Rafferty hitting Tori with a hammer....

 

[BorgQueen]

I am starting to think that either she really doesn't know whether she did it or not and is taking responsibility for reasons unknown, or she is taking responsibility because she said she would... some sort of misguided loyalty. I do believe that much of what she has said is true, but there is still a lot missing and she is still lying about something. Something isn't right.
JMO :moo:

Here is a good question.

Melanie Nagy ‏ @NagyCBC

Crown is asking why she told the police #rafferty did it if she says she did it. #sl

@AM980_Court
She "did not want to accept she could do something so heinous". Rafferty wanted to kidnap and rape a child she says.
