Trial Thread 8 May 2012 Wrapping up Closing Arguments

[daisy.faithfull]

RaffertyLFP "He was trying to avoid the glaring eye of surveillance video" says Gowdey. He says McClintic was great partner who could be trusted

A partner who could be trusted?

This has got to be a misquote.

Even to MR..........TLM couldn't be trusted.

The Crown is hurting their case more than helping today.

This kind of nonsense insults the intelligence of the jury.

JMO.........

:Moo: then do y really think it is likely that he trusted CS, that she knew the plan, that she knew what the money was for?

JMO.........

TLM was a great partner who could be trusted. How many other people can you find to go along with your plan to abduct and rape a child? TLM wasn't the brightest crayon in the box and was very easily manipulated. MR manipulated TLM with his "little bit of love". Remember the jail house visits and the motel videos? It was obvious she had the goo-goo eyes for MR.

AM980_Court If McClintic was asking just for money, wouldn't it be natural to ask how much and what for? Gowdey says.

..said earlier

 

[Sailor Bug]

The Crown is doing an AMAZING job...all in the name of JUSTICE for Tori​

I think MR trusted her completely. You don't kidnap and murder a child with someone you don't trust...MOO

Ever after she was arrested he did not seem worried that she would implicate him in the murder. I think he trusted her 100% ....MOO

veryFreeFMNews #Rafferty shakes his head while Gowdey presents closing arguments. He rolls his eyes while the Crown accuses him of being in charge.

 

[Sillybilly]

...and circumstantial evidence
...and video surveillance
...and DNA
...Cell phone records

anyone else care to add?

Maybe .. if they were stopped with the hammer and bags and Tori in the car, that would look more suspicious than the just purchased items being in the trunk along with his other junk.

.AveryFreeFMNews 10 minute break called. Then Gowdey will continue to argue until the 1 o'clock lunch break. #Rafferty

I think they are doing a marvelous job.

imhoo he is trying to say that he chose TLM as a partner because he could trust her.. he knew she would be "in" with him and would do what he asked.

Court takes quick 10 minute break. Pacing is vital for lawyers to make sure their points are absorbed by Jury

Didn't they just have a break? Are they discussing objections?

Crown says #Rafferrty put hammer and garbage bags in trunk of car b/c he knew why they were bought at Home Depot

The more the Crown continues, the more I realize how much their case depends on the testimony of TLM.

JMO...................

IMO... the video is what is showing this partnership at the HD / Petro...he took the cash out, he gave TLM the cash, he stayed in car with kidnapped Tori, he "popped" the trunk for TLM to put the bag in....

Its all on video, not just from TLM... The withdrawl shown on video and banking records, the video of TLM walking from MR car to HD, the purchase in HD of murder toosl shown on video, the video of MR pulling up and popping the trunk...

This is not just TLM's testimony.

Exactly! And then visited in her in jail to make sure she stuck to her word!


Ha! What a partner he chose!

The pic of her lounging on the bed in the motel ... a flush in her face, sparkling eyes, seemingly totally smitten with T'z man.

MOO

This. "You'll do anything for a little love, won't you"

That said it all.

Also, more important than trust, he believed he would never get caught. MOO

Gowdey argues that #Rafferty knew what was in the Home Depot bag, says that's why he popped the trunk when the bag would have fit in the car
