:what:Wonder who the woman driving the Honda Accord was? Girlfriend 1, girlfriend 2, girlfriend 3... ? We know it wasn't TLM as she was in the detention centre. Maybe his mom? Will this woman be called to testify? :moo::moo:

It was his current girlfreind Swedie

RaffertyLFP: Jury shown arrest mugshots of McClintic and Rafferty.

Showing the jury Rafferty and McClintic's mug shots.

I could be wrong Ardy, but I think it is to show the exhausting search while MTR was of no help whatsoever, even though the defence has admitted his knowledge of the crime and subsequent disposal of items. Not to mention that the Crown has to let the jury know that they did in fact search for evidence.

Obviously money would have had no bearing in the search for Tori..glady and heartfeltly done. IMO Think about this...his actions costed IMO millions to the province, hundreds of men and women and thousands of hours of work, on top of the horrific days, weeks, months and years.....in human toll on this family...what because of MTR????? If someone can..just do that....yep just cause all that...the same type of mentality goes into what he is accused of IMO. Who does that?:twocents:

Rafferty taken into custody. Honda Civic seized by police.

The woman driving the vehicle Rafferty was getting into was Joy Woods. Identified by her driver's license. No more questions.

No cross examination. Lima done. Court recessing until 2 p.m.

Oops my post above. I asked too soon. What number is this girlfriend? Or is she a girlfriend? I remember him speaking of a Joy during police interview but he would not give her last name. Can someone refresh my memory who MR said Joy was to him? TIA:moo:

McClintic went through the same process as Rafferty.

Butler asked by Derstine if there are 15 elementary schools in Woodstock. Says the number "sounds fair". Derstine lists them all.

Derstine lists 15 public schools; Butler done on the stand.

 

[Sailor Bug]

In cross, Derstine lists off 15 elementary schools in Woodstock to see if Butler has heard of them. Yes he replies. That concludes cross.

No more questions. Venne calls Detective Constable Ralph Christmas.

Crown's next witness is Ralph Christmas; retired OPP officer, employed 30 years - was working with Huron County crime unit as Det. Const

He's a retired OPP officer. Worked with police for 30 years.

RaffertyLFP: Christmas referring to notebook re: May 19, 09; working in Woodstock that day - was assigned to secure 2 vehicles that day for forensic ID.

He was working in Woodstock on May 19th. He was assigned to take Rafferty's vehicle into custody, along with another vehicle.

Christmas says cars were a dark blue 4-door Honda Civic and a black Honda Accord. Says civic in bad condition, Accord in good condition

RaffertyLFP:
Stirling says it would not be a steep grade. [via Twitter]


RaffertyLFP:
Derstine and Stirling disagreeing how steep the walk would be from the stone pile east to a tree line. [via Twitter]

Let me guess...on one of the supposed returns to the area defense will say it was too slippery for him to have gone up that incline that day....yadda yadda blah blah blah:twocents:

 

[snoofer]

It would be interesting to see MTR mugshot from his arrest to see if he had cold sores at that point showing how stressed he was?

i would like to see a picture of him on the 9th! and not that black and white grainy one from the cash machine IMO

Christmas says Civic was running when he came across it, he turned it off and followed tow-trucks to Ingersoll OPP forensic ID unit

He was working in Woodstock on May 19th. He was assigned to take Rafferty's vehicle into custody, along with another vehicle.

Chirstmas says Honda Civic was standard transmission; describes interior as 'messy' says interior looked painted white or bleached

Christmas put on gloves, turned Rafferty's car off, rolled up windows. Cars were taken to OPP forensic identification unit.

The other car was a black Honda Accord, the car Rafferty was getting into.

• Rafferty's car was "messy inside". Dash and door handles were white, maybe bleached.

 

[Sailor Bug]

Rafferty's car was "messy inside". Dash and dour handles were white, maybe bleached.

Chirstmas says he removed no items from the Civic; no further questsions from Crown, no cross-examination, witness excused

Christmas didn't remove any items from the Honda Civic. No more questions from Venne. None from Derstine.

RaffertyLFP: That concludes the car "chapter" moving on the search of residences "chapter
