I think we know the answer to that question. :moo:

RaffertyLFP: No cross Diwell is excused

RaffertyLFP: Last witness for day is John Cruickshank [via Twitter]

RaffertyLFP: Cruikshank is the owner of Outdoor Services, a landscaping company based on Hwy 6 just north of Guelph

RaffertyLFP: Cruikshank employed Rafferty from 2003 to 2005 as landscaper and snow shovelling. Rafferty worked with a team, licence suspended at time

[Sailor Bug]

Carnegie showing him a letter dated April of 2004. It's from Wellington County, it's the contract for landscape north of Guelph.

They serviced landfills/recycling areas in Belwood, Aberfoyle, other areas near Guelph.

 

[Sailor Bug]

RaffertyLFP: Cruikshank identifies landfills near Harriston and Palmerston, Drayton

RaffertyLFP: One landfill is just south of Mount Forest

There was also a landfill near Riverston. It's close to side road 5/highway 6. Just south of Mount Forest, not far from the scene.

RaffertyLFP: Cruikshank was interviewed by Stafford investigators - gave them documents re sites that Rafferty worked

Cruickshank says police eventually contracted him about the Tori investigation. They asked for documents about Rafferty's employment.

This Land field is about a 10 minute drive to Mount Forest from there.

I guess, but there's really are times when I really wish that they had not let the defence have the last word.

A very astute observation, about a situation that has prevailed throughout the trial. Derstine doesn't say much.......but has asked one or two questions which has negated a lot of Crown witness testimony.

The final words of the pathology and DNA experts are examples, where the jury is left with "there is no evidence that proves........" in their minds.

I am wondering why the Crown doesn't redirect.......but maybe because the defense could ask more questions and it would turn into a merry go round of questions.

I hope when you state "negated a lot of Crown witness testimony", is your opinion.

Our mods added this cute icon for us. :moo: It stands for My Opinion Only. It should be used when you're stating an opinion versus fact backed up by a link.

 

[Sailor Bug]

There's also a checklist for a vehicle owned by the business. From April of 2006.

No more questions from Carnegie.

RaffertyLFP: Cross examine begins. Derstine ask about trucks that Cruickshank's firm used

RaffertyLFP: Derstine asks about number of employees. Cruikshank says 12

Derstine asks Cruickshank to describe the truck owned by the business. Can't recall if it had one or two seats.

 

[Sailor Bug]

He also asks if he knew where all employees were at any given day. He says yes, that's why they had the work plans. No more questions

No more witnesses left. We'll resume on Tuesday at 10 am

RaffertyLFP: Court is done for day - 8 witnesses Resumes on Tuesday with more Mt. Forest

 

[swedie]

Good Morning!

Such a little Sweetie!:angel: Just to think, Tori could have belonged to any one of us; daughter, granddaughter, niece, little sister a friend :tears:

Safe in the arms of our Almighty Father now.

JUSTICE FOR TORI!

:waitasec: Is she talking about earlier years?

i believe that MTR tossed as much DNA and garbage and junk as he could in his car to make it hard for investigators, while taking out anything he might think would have evidence on it.:twocents:

Well now that was a total flop for the defense. :moo:

WTH? :floorlaugh:

 

[Hello_Kitty]

All these women show that MR was in fact not manipulated by any women like the defense claims.

Geez...he was trolling that site big time. Ever heard of the Craigslist killer? Something really seems to be off about all this POF contact he was having with women of all ages.

MOO

I'm wondering if he was trying to establish a network of women who could supply him with percosets, it seems he's had a perc addiction for a long time.

[captaincanada]

Now that we know that MR knew the MT. Forest area (Riverstown dump is minutes from the crime scene) I am more convinced of TLM's story. MR knows the area, TLM didn't. He was NOT lead to a "safe house" for Tori. He's guilty as sin.

I think he was fishing for information on what these women knew about Tori's murder. The talk around town per se

He didn't seem to have too many male friends except for that one guy at Staples he met one time who scared the ***** out of him because of the red shot eyes or whatever word he used to describe him.

Sounds like he wasn't as macho as he thought he was. He'll make a lot of "friends" in prison. :moo:

"Chambers said she started a online relationship with Rafferty early in April 2009 and has sex with him after meeting him at a Tim Horton's."

OMG! This woman is made out to be a sl..... Sex right after meeting him at Tim Hortons.
