I really hope the jury isn't getting bored. This brings back memories of the OJ trial, when the prosecutors spent far too long on DNA and the science of it. The jury stopped listening. Move on for goodness sakes. MOO

Derstine questioning McClintic about an interview she had with a probation officer - he sent her to a psychiatrist but she did not go

McClintic claims she never said that. It is in the report Derstine has.

Mcaclintic skipped an appointment with a phycological counsellor. That led to her April 2009 parole violation arrest.

McClintic said she was determined to do better when released from detention in 2008 but fell back into bad habits

McClintic says she has a terrible memory. Derstine says she has a terrible history of drug use. She agrees her memory is foggy.

Under questioning McClintic admits she is a life-long drug user resulting in loss of memory

Derstine questions why her memory of the events on the day of Tori's murder are so clear

Derstine said McClintic claims due to lengthy drug abuse her memory not great, but he says regarding Tori, she has good memory

McClintic agrees she convinced herself she was innocent before she was arrested.

Derstine showing clips from McClintic's April 12th police interview.

McClintic said she had somehow convinced herself that she was not involved in Tori's murder when she first talked to police

Derstine says what McClintic presented to the court on the events if Tori's death is remarkably clear, despite this.

McClintic asked about being arrested by police April 12th, interrogated on May 19th. She wanted to cooperate, she says.

Derstine asks about McClintic's first meeting with police April 12 - four days after Tori's murder

Derstine is going through McClintic's meetings with probation officers. She says she was high at one probation meeting in August 2008.

This is the defense

Total failure of the system in TLM's life. :banghead:

I am surprised she is even walking into court to tolerate the questioning by the defence...perhaps that is what they are trying to do....get her to walk away. IMO Why would she choose to subject herself to this..for him? Unless what she is saying is the truth that she did it....I don't get what the pay off is for her to say she did it if it wasn't the truth....does he buy her smokes or something?? JMO

So, Facebook "security" is a sham, no matter what they claim. :notgood:

It depends on one's own security settings. I believe she had an "open" profile and remember being able to read it myself for a few days after her arrest. LE took it down afterward.

At that meeting, officer was disturbed by her violence and referred her for counselling. McClintic never went and stopped reporting

Skipping probation dates and not going for counselling resulted in a warrant, which was used to arrest her after #ToriStafford vanished

Would MTR have given TLM money to buy the hammer and garbage bags at HD without knowing what he was giving her money for? I honestly don't think MTR would have just given her money at TLM's demand. They both knew what was going to go down when that purchase was made IMO.

And, if he at the very least, sexually assaulted Tori--what did he plan on doing after this assault, drop her off on her door step and hope she wouldn't tell.:moo:

McClintic said while around OSPS, she didn't talk to anyone. Didn't talk to anyone in a car as she continued down street

McClintic in video is describing what she wore, how she was carrying her purse

McClintic explaining how she wears her purse while walking.

I think he will cross examine her about the abduction and murder ... he is one of the best around apparently, The defence's case seems to be welll thought out ... they are going in a logical order, establishing her history and character and showing evidence to back up their defence strategy. If he can poke sufficient holes in her story under cross-examination, her credibility will be compromised, leaving a larger window of opportunity for the jury to see MR at the very least as the more sympathetic of the pair. Having said that tho the forensic evidence has not yet been presented, and from what we know so far, it wil be difficult to refute. There is still a long ways to go in this trial.

BBM: The Crown has done an excellent job in being the first one to present to the jury that TLM's credibility is questionable.

They are NOT trying to hide it or deny it.

They know it, everyone knows it.

So, I feel they are prepared for that.

Chapter 2: Terri-Lynne McClintic. "She was an essential part of all that happened," Gowdey said. "I expect her credibility will be a major issue in this case."
