RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said if McClintic had stomped Tori why would Rafferty later tell her "she hadn't did anything wrong" and she agreed

Rafferty mouths something in the prisoners box, as Gowdey suggests he used the hammer. McClintic also agreed she "did nothing wrong".

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said McClintic planned to change her story in January blaming herself not Rafferty

#Rafferty rolls his eyes, shakes head as he watches vid of TLM telling cops #toristafford was bleeding from crotch and was stomped on by him

Linda Nguyen ‏ @LindaNguyenPN
She is crying as she tells police #Rafferty told her following murder that they were now in this together #ToriStafford

I really want to know what this eye rolling means.... Not the actions from an innocent man being unfairly accused---seems more the actions of an <modsnip> covering up his crime.....JMO

@AM980_Court Up until early this year, she maintained Rafferty swung the hammer. On the stand, she "rushed" to get the new version of events out.

McClintic said on the stand she "savagely murdered that little girl". Gowdey suggests that was planned before the trial.

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey reads McClintic testimony about "I savagely murdered that little girl" Gowdey suggests those words not spontaneous

McClintic had said "“I went back to the vehicle and I savagely murdered that little girl”. Crown says that didn't flow naturally

Steven D'Souza &#8207; @cbcsteve
Crown says language McClintic used in saying she killed Tori sounded unnatural and too rehearsed

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey reads McClintic's later testimony that she killed Tori. Asks why her rage would drive her to kill child and not man raping child

If rage drove McClintic to kill, Gowdey suggests she would have killed the rapist, not the little girl.

I have always had this question lingering with me as well.

McClintic didn't get into a murderous rage until after the sexual assault. Gowdey notes the timing is a very big coincidence.

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said Rafferty tossed Tori on ground after sexual assault - so McClintic did not have to kill her in back seat - a coincidence?

The timing is "curious", he says.

(2/2) Crown asks: "Why would her rage drive her to kill the child and not the man who was sexually assaulting the child?"

Steven D'Souza &#8207; @cbcsteve
McClintic said she killed Tori in rage because memories of her own childhood came back as she saw Rafferty sexually assaulting her...

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey asks if McClinitic sudden rage fueled by sexual assault why does she then go to get hammer by trunk

RaffertyLFP: Gowdey said somehow Rafferty helped out by popping trunk so she could get hammer to get Tori? does that make sense
