[~n/t~]

Avery Moore ‏ @AveryFreeFMNews
Witness says the kids she was picking up then came out of the school. She drove away.

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Witness says she did not see woman come out of the school.

She is on the stand to put further doubt in TLM's testimony!! For ME it will never change what I believe are hard facts of this case. Neither of these adults returned Tori Stafford home to her parents on April 8,2009!!!!!!!!

Before this, only heard McClintic was outside school as #ToriStafford walked out. Quite a twist in testimony

So can she definitely say this white jacket woman was TLM? Or just some lady wearing a white coat?

I have to tell you when I go into my daughters school they stop any visitor no matter who you are and no matter at what time. This is strange.

we already know that TLM has a little problem with the truth.. so how exactly was exposing another lie out her mouth any sort of defense for MR?

Also here in Sudbury all schools are locked and you have to bee buzzed in. Their is also cameras at all enterances. I would assume it is the same down south? So why would their not be video of her in the school???

(((how can you put on a case in chief with only one witness?????)))

that is just bizarre!

And for the one witness that is going to tell us she drove her car past the school???? Does she have one of those things on her hood also? For this, Derstine gave up the opportunity to close last? Wow.

Wow.

She says she noticed the woman because it was a warm Spring day, was odd that she was wearing a winter coat.

 

[Sillybilly]

hmmm saw TLM waiting for tori i bet is where this going

And wow one witness and no opening... what a way to start their side hehe

LOL ... maybe Derstine doesn't want to go down in the annals of history as "the great lawyer who got the guilty guy off".

JK

If I was on the jury I would be more interested in who is not testifying on his behalf such as his mom etc. I think that is pretty telling in and of itself.

Post of the day!!!!

Parents and busses "take turns" leaving the parking lot, it takes time, not unusual.

I sure hope the Crown has looked into this witness's background.

 

[nursebeeme]
