Touchdown!

RaffertyLFP: The grandmom said she was the woman only in profile looked stern looking straight ahead did not talk to child

One of her grandchildren mentioned the little girl walking with the woman. She only got a "side profile" Carnegie suggested.

She says she was driving slow. She got a good look.

Carnegie again notes the white coat was the important feature she saw. She agrees.

She clarifies the woman seemed to be "on a mission" and walking quickly.

Carnegie asks if she knows what the choked on the street was saying. She doesn't know.

She was able to determine the stern look from a side profile, the witness says.

Crown clarifies "on a mission" statement from witness. She says woman was in a hurry, didn't think anything bad was happening #sl



Avery Moore ‏ @AveryFreeFMNews
Carnegie questions why witness says the woman in the white jacket had a stern look on her face. #Rafferty

 

[roseofsharon]

Because TORI was the one who was DUPED.

*angry*

But remember even TM (Tori's Mom) said TS was not herself, she was not doing all the hopping, skipping, jumping, in video. MOO

RaffertyLFP: The grandmom said she saw the woman only in profile could not really see her expression she looked straight ahead

The woman in white wasn't carrying anything, she says. Carnegie confirms that.

RaffertyLFP: Cross is finished Derstine begins reexamination. He asks for brief recess without jury

Crown has finished cross examination. #rafferty

 

[Oldsoul2]

Like I said....nothing substancial....they based their whole defense on TLM because MR based his whole excuse on blaming TLM because she said she would take the fall. They have nothing.

 

[roseofsharon]

In school video, TLM's hair did not look pulled back, looking like it was down and straight and that's why TM got put under the microscope at the time?? MOO

Crown says it was 8 degrees on Apr. 8/09 so wearing a white coat isn't out of ordinary, witness agrees #sl



FWIW It's 8 degrees here today where I am and I'm wearing my coat!!!

 

[Hello_Kitty]

Goodness that witness was very confused.

 

[Sailor Bug]

The woman says 8 degrees was on the cooler side. Carnegie suggests to her that was the temperature in Woodstock that day. No more questions.

Derstine has some reexamination, but "wants to run something by" Heeney first. Jury excused.

Crown is finished with cross exam. Derstine says he has more to address. Says he wants to run something by judge. Jury excused.

Avery Moore ‏ @AveryFreeFMNews
"She was walking like she had somewhere to go and she was rushed to get there." Witness, on the woman in the white jacket w/ girl.


Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Crown finishes its questioning. The witness has not been excused yet #sl

 

[Wondergirl]

Finish your re-examination, Derstine.

My lord, I just can't believe with 10 million zillion pieces of evidence, witnesses, all the gang, drugs, blah blah blah, THAT is the best the defense could come up with, to prove his clients innocence?

Good-bye, Rafferty.

I believe the granny saw her on the street. I don't believe she saw TLM going into the school though. I think she created a story in her head and started connecting dots after the fact. The timeline doesn't fit and Tori went back in to get her earings.

hahahaha!

 

[Kamille]

She didn't tell LE about the very visible stripes on the coat.

She didn't know the colour of pants.

She didn't see the person exit the school with Victoria.

She didn't notice MR's funky painted car either in front of or behind her on the road.

Her view of everything was blocked by school buses until she was able to get out of the parking lot line up and onto the road at which point she saw them together.She has no idea how they ended up together.

She claims Victoria was chatting to TLM. The other witness further up the sidewalk says they weren't talking at all.

They've got nothing.

MOO
