Derstine says the back of #Rafferty's car would have been a "hot bed of his DNA and other people's DNA."

Avery Moore ‏ @AveryFreeFMNews
Derstine says #Rafferty was a "young man w/ a very active sex life who lives with his mother." May have had sex w/ many women in his car.


Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Derstine suggests Rafferty wrote "Everything good is comming my way" on Facebook b/c he was excited about his various girlfriends

Derstine skips quickly over #Rafferty's phone records, saying it doesn't show much


Avery Moore ‏ @AveryFreeFMNews
Derstine says blonde hairs on #Rafferty's pea coat shows nothing. Not Tori's hair, not McClintic's hair.

what do you mean SB?

 

[Sailor Bug]

It's circumstantial, he says. If Rafferty assisted holding Tori, and McClintic unexpectedly killed her, how would he react?

Derstine suggests the proper thing is to tell the police, but often in situations like that, people don't. They panic, escape responsibility

RaffertyLFP: Derstine admits Rafferty tried to cover up and claimed to look for Rafferty, Suggest he may have tried to run away even if he was not guilty

 

[robynhood]

AM980_Court Rafferty's Facebook posts don't assist the jury at all, he says. Rafferty may have been looking at a girlfriends Facebook page.

Derstine says how someone acts after something unexpected is hard to pin down. Everyone might act differently. On #Rafferty's Apr. 8th texts

RaffertyLFP: Derstine says why would grown man need to tools to kill little girl? He already had a knife in the car

Rafferty said, according to McClintic, it would be "too heat" to use Armstrong's tools. Had to head to Home Depot.

Assuming Rafferty did need tools, he a,ready had a knife in his car. Why would a full grown man need a hammer, he asks?

What does this mean? Is this supposed to BA? Was this mentioned before and I missed it?

 

[Sailor Bug]

Plainly he was covering something up, Derstine says. But, his credibility is not at issue.

That doesn't mean his culpable of murder, Derstine says.

RaffertyLFP: Derstine suggests McClintic's shoes were thrown away quickly because they were used to kick Tori

The Shaq shoes had been washed after being found near Mount Forest.

RaffertyLFP: Derstine suggests that McClintic discarded her coat because it was stained with blood.

Rafferty wiped his penis on McClintic's coat, after the sex assault, McClintic said. Derstine suggests McClintic carried Tori's body.

Why would McClintic not be wearing her coat on a cold evening? Why would Rafferty not use something from his gym bag?


RaffertyLFP: Court in recess for 20 minutes.

Well looks like crown won't get up today..... MOO
