There are 32 video cameras in the area near Oliver Stephens. All were reviewed.

I think she told her she had a puppy and was going to show it to her, if I remember correctly

@AdrianMorrow
Brocanier's team reviewed footage from all 32 College Avenue school cameras, looking at footage over five full days. #ToriStafford

Glasses to emphasize his crying outbursts in court. GMAB. JMO

What does GMAB mean pls and thank you. I am not familiar with this shortform.

She told Tori about Precious, her little dog, and if she wanted to see her dog. Horrible.

Oh Lord...thanks...I followed this case obsessively until Tori was found. Had to break away from it....so, I haven't really heard much about what TLM said. I'll never, ever forget Tori....

@AdrianMorrow
Three cameras from the Secondary School were pointed towards the street and the retirement home.

‏ @AM980_Court
Noting the significant cameras and where they point. Just overhead stills. No video yet.

@RaffertyLFP

Give me a break

 

[Oldsoul2]

Can't wait for TLM to take the stand, I still wonder why they gave her a maximum sentence even though she agreed to help them find the body and testify, worse than that would be the chair and we don't have that in Canada

why are they excusing the standby jurors?

 

[matou]

why are they excusing the standby jurors?

Not sure. It just says that their services are not necessary. I guess it's just for today.

 

[nursebeeme]

is today the day that they are taking the trip out to where Tori was found?

aside: (why wouldn't you want the alternates to see all the evidence when they could have to move into a position if need be?)

20 min recess

**maybe they are excused for the recess?

I don't think so. There is an article with CHAPTERS and this is how the Crown is proceeding through their case. The trip won't occur for a while I think. I need to find the article.

 

[Sparklin]

Did TLM ever say what she told Tori in able to get her to come with her?

I believe it had to do with a puppy - one like Tara had
