Hugs Lovelies!
I just arrived, the darn streetcar took forever. Today is going to be very interesting and prayers go out to everyone. I can't think of how the DEF thinks they can fool the Crown. Justice for Tori!!
Go Jurer's Go!

Court to convene any minute now. First up, Justice Heeney will ask #Rafferty's lawyer if he wants to call any witnesses.

Seriously!!!! After 4 DAYS OFF a delay?????!!! Why am I not surprised? With that much time to prepare there shouldn't be need for a delay.

 

[Thinkzerz]

Is MR mom there? Does anyone know has a tweet come out about this?

 

[Bravo]

Too late for rehearsals. Lets get the show on the road!!!! Prayers for Tori's Family on this and what will be difficult days ahead.

 

[CarrieBean]

Good morning Tori's people. Hoping the Crown is quickly able to squash whatever BS the defense throws out.

@debbie - after nearly two months of trial, everyone is pretty comfortable together. Tori's family is approachable at any time.

Does media ever approach Tori's Family before trial every day or is it after the day finishes?

@guest - my understanding is that if they don't call witnesses the defence presents its closing last, and if they do present witnesses, the Crown closes last.

Did I read that the defense cannot make a closing statement if they call any witnesses? Why is that?

Interesting!
