The Crown is going through the guidebook that the jury will use on when they visit the crime scene

Most of the points of interest will be landmarks McClintic described to the police.

matou, the tori picture in your avatar is beautiful (brings tears to my eyes)...

Haven't caught up on the thread yet, but just wanted to share the photo I love most of Tori is her school photo. The one where she is lounging in front of the backdrop. She looks like a lovely young lady on it, and you can see how beautiful she would have grown up to be and it makes me so so sad that she won't. :'(

 

[~n/t~]

So the Judge didn't say when they were going? What about forensics? Autopsy results, etc. :waitasec:

That picture was her school picture and her last picture. Tara got a call from the school to pick it up about a week or so after Tori's abduction.

Because the lie detector information came up today, I thought we would hear something about that. Lots more to come. We're just at the tip of the iceberg I bet. :moo:

Not that I heard on the tweets.

As for the forensics and autopsy results, I guess they'recoming soon.

It's going verrrrrrry sloooooooooowly

Barbara Armstrong testified that #Rafferty told her after Tori's death that he heard police were mistreating McClintic to get a confessio

He didn't say much to the OPP but he sure can chat to dear old Babs..:fence:

Grim photos shown to Rafferty jury


Another photo shown to the court showed the garbage bags after the rocks were removed but the girl's body is inside the bags and not visible.

The jury also saw a short video of the garbage bags with the rocks piled on top. Rafferty appeared to be staring at the ceiling while the video played.

Scoyne said each of the rocks were marked and numbered by police as evidence. Police checked the rocks for fingerprints but none were found.

In earlier testimony Terri-Lynne McClintic said that she and Michael Rafferty placed Tori's body in garbage bags at the crime scene, after she was killed, carried the body to a rockpile near some trees and piled rocks on top of the girl's body.

JMO This is what MR was afraid would happen, to get her to talk, but didn't according to Smyth

Everyone be on your best behaviour....BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!!!!

IMHO the hole is being dug a little deeper each day. Another awesome, damaging day against MR for the Crown. Wonder why Derstine was so against the pictures and their titles? TLM was the one on the look out and she had a lot of time to take in her surroundings while MR was sexually assaulting Tori in his car. MOO

 

[antiquegirl]

Maybe one thing we can be hopeful about is that with the boulders and their weight, plus the fact they were so cold, the anthropologist was able to find more definitive evidence of sexual assault. The boulders may have preserved Tori's body better. Here's hoping and praying JMHO. lease:

(BBM)

I'm not the praying type, but I hope just the opposite. I posted last night about the possibility of the sexual assault being just one of TLM's flashbacks, not for the sake of the accused, but for Tori's. I'm hoping that there was no sexual assault at all and the poor child was spared at least that much. Finding definitive evidence of a sexual assault is not what I wish on little Tori.

JMHO

@AM980_Court

• To follow up on a tweet from earlier, Rafferty has seemed uncomfortable today. Moving a lot in the prisoners box.

Not too comfortable when he's <modsnip> his pants--thinkin' he'll be safer in prison...JMO:floorlaugh:
