Trial Thread 8 May 2012 Wrapping up Closing Arguments

[Sailor Bug]

If garbage vats were the only thing on her list, why give McClintic $40? Gowdey asks.

Home Depot shows depth of the partnership McClintic and Rafferty had.

Gowdey wonders what Tori could have been thinking about during that time in the car at Home Depot.

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said if McClintic was mastermind why go all the way to Guelph and Mount Forest?

 

[Sailor Bug]

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said Stafford did not go to Home Depot so she could not be seen or escape

If McClintic was the engine, why go to Home Depot? Why not just turn around and go back to Woodstock if they were just babysitting.

The crown says it's obvious why Tori didn't go to the store. So nobody would see her.

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.

#Rafferty was limiting his exposure, Gowdey tells the jury, "That’s why he had his partner, and what a partner she turned out to be.

 

[Sailor Bug]

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said hammer went into the trunk so Tori would not see it and be more afraid

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

If Rafferty didn't know, why pop the trunk without prompting? He didn't want Tori to see.

RaffertyLFP: "Don't let anyone fool you into thinking they did not do this together" says Gowdey

Crown says #Rafferty trusted McClintic to buy the murder tools. Trusted her to kidnap Tori. Trusted her to be alone with Tori

"The video at the Home Depot shows more than anything else the depth of their partnership." -Gowdey on #Rafferty and McClintic

 

[Sillybilly]

not much they can do about eye rolling and other behavior... you should have seen the Casey Anthony trial... they had to give her a pen and paper for her fidgeting hands...

I agree nurse ... it was more tongue-in-cheek about his overall personality ... nobody (whether his lawyer or TLM) controls what MTR does ... he does what he wants.

AM980_Court If Rafferty didn't know, why pop the trunk without prompting? He didn't want Tori to see.

 

[puppyraiser]

Why didn't MR use the drive thru at Tim Horton's?...............oh wait- he had a kidnapped child in his car who could have yelled for help or been seen.

Didn't know she was kidnapped, I call that a load of BS. IMO, MOO JMO

"Don't let anyone fool you into thinking they didn't do this together" Gowdey says.

Rafferty rolls his eyes again. At least the third time I've seen him do that.

Just because Rafferty wasn't on camera, doesn't mean he isn't controlling the events.

10 minute break.

RaffertyLFP: Court takes 10 minute break

M980_Court Rafferty rolls his eyes again. At least the third time I've seen him do that.

rAFFERTY SEEMS VERY REACTIVE NOW...iMO ..CROWN IS TURNING UP THE HEAT & rafferty does not like it...sorry about caps ...I am working fast to get you the tweets coming in real fast now...

Crown: The video from the Home Depot, shows more than anything else the depth of their partnership

 

[Ardy]

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.........

Yes ... a "prolific liar". The judge will make sure the jury is well grounded again, after the Crown repeats their show ... blah blah blah ... he should have/could have/might have ... says TLM.

Hope the Judge puts a stop to it!

Crown on Rafferty: Just because he’s staying safely behind (at Home Depot) That doesn’t mean he’s not controlling what’s going on.

 

[nursebeeme]

To me it's like trying to testify without getting up on the stand. It should not be allowed. Although I don't know that a contempt charge would scare the defendent right now.

MOO

actually if the judge calls him out on it (he could do that in the US not sure about Canada) it would not look good for MR imhoo..

iirc he is not sitting right next to his lawyers so it is very difficult for them to be able to pass him a note telling him to cut it out, etc etc...

He would do well to be aware of what the jury is able to see of his reactions...he is not doing himself any favors whatsoever

moo

AM980_Court Just because Rafferty wasn't on camera, doesn't mean he isn't controlling the events.

they just announced a 10 min break....Imo if I was the defense lawyer I would be talking to Rafferty about all his eyes rolling and lots of reactions...but thk God I am NOT a defense lawyer....everyone go get a DRINK ...break time ..10 mins...
