• Showing the shorts found in Rafferty's gym bag. No blood was found. McClintic said she wore similar shorts the night Tori was killed.

No blood was found???

@AM980_Court

• Now telling jurors about tests for fluids done on the outside of the bag. None were visible.

He washed his shorts. JMO

Way out there I know, but have ya'll considered that if TLM had not gone with plan they might have both been gone?

I don't understand? What do you mean?

RaffertyLFP: McLean said there was no obvious blood stains on the GoodLife bag but a "rub" test was done on the bag to look for DNA

Traces of blood were found by tests. Carnegie is showing jurors the bag.

Now showing a detailed slide, breaking down tests done on the bag.

AM980.ca ‏ @AM980_Court
Showing a close up of the bag. Portions of the bag have been altered to allow greater access to the spot of blood.

Why would there be blood on the shorts? She supposedly changed into the shorts after they cleaned up.

I would also like to see a detailed explanation for every circle drawn on the pea coat and what the different color of markings mean. So far, all we know is that 2 blond hairs were found - but there are 6-8 spots marked on that coat. What do the other 4-6 spots show?

RaffertyLFP: The court is seeing an extreme closeup of seam area of the GoodLife bag. Microscopic examination turned a minute blood stain

AM980.ca ‏ @AM980_Court
Showing a magnified shot of the blood spot. Hard to tell it's blood. Tiny red flakes are in the weave of the bag.

AM980.ca ‏ @AM980_Court
Stains on the stitching tested positive for being blood.showing more close ups of the red flakes.

RaffertyLFP: The microscopic blood stains were examined for DNA. The tests showed a mixture of DNA from three people

AM980.ca ‏ @AM980_Court
The blood spot has the combined DNA of three people. Two of them are likely Rafferty and Tori Stafford. Equal amounts of their blood.

Thankyou Jezbel. I just find it lame that it is after all an overflow room that does not really get much of what is going on (as it is CCTV) and any member of the public could theoretically sit in there and then come out and text/email/tweet their entire PTA or whatever that they had just heard/seen/witnessed. I live here, have watched many US trials and just find it lame. I agree there are details we as the public do NOT need to know but this is 2012 and I find it about a century out of date. JMO of course.

I am just thrilled we are allowed tweets.:woohoo: IMHO I feel there needs to be control of what the evidence is and it needs to be held back. Same goes with the tweeting. If everyone was allowed to tweet, who knows what kind of information would be floating around. Lots of rumours.:waitasec: :moo:

Well I don't think he was wearing his shorts when he attacked Tori, in fact he wasn't wearing pants nor undies I would think when you rape someone. Am I understanding this wrong

well he strikes me as kind of piggy so could just be slobber of some sort on his coat. His mother's house you could tell she painstakingly tried to keep it in good order and the only things out of place were the oodles and oodles of stuff he left laying around such as tools and bits that were just tossed places throughout the house:twocents:. I so would have kicked his out long ago.:twocents: Ok...so I don't like him.

 

[Macright]

well I am totally confused...has Tori's DNA been found mixed with MR or is it MR & unknown DNA (sperm) found mixed...we know he used his car as a second home and we know he had sex with TLM in it so finding their mixed DNA is a given ...hate the tweets...will wait until the papers print the story but then each reporter will write something different which will throw everything out of whack....
