New thread for a new day. Please remember the rules

:tos:


When posting an opinion please remember to use IMO or JMO.


the crown will present its case in chapters:

Chapter 1: The day of the kidnapping. The surveillance video showing Rafferty driving up the street outside Tori's school and McClintic walking Tori up the street. Witnesses from and around Oliver Stephens public school will talk about seeing Tori.
An identification officer will use photographs and maps to show the route from Woodstock to Guelph.
Tori's mother, Tara McDonald, will testify about the frantic hours the family spent looking for Tori.

Chapter 2: Terri-Lynne McClintic. "She was an essential part of all that happened," Gowdey said. "I expect her credibility will be a major issue in this case."

Chapter 3: Guelph -- video surveillance and bank records detailing the events there.

Chapter 4: the Mount Forest death scene, which the jury will visit. "It will be difficult to go to the very place where this happened, I know that, but understanding the crime scene is crucial to understanding the crime," Gowdey said. Photographs, some of them graphic, will be used to explain "exactly how the killing happened."
"Unfortunately it is only through them that you can fully understand (the) evidence," Gowdey said.

Chapter 5: Police interaction with Rafferty.

Chapter 6: The searches of Rafferty and McClintic's residences and the evidence found.

Chapter 7: The Honda Civic. What was found inside.

Chapter 8: Rafferty's connection to the Mount Forest area.

Chapter 9: Comments Rafferty made to friends after April 8. "He had some interesting things to say to other people about Terri-Lynne McClintic and about the kidnapping itself," Gowdey said.

Chapter 10: The May 15 weekend and Rafferty's actions.

Chapter 11: The BlackBerry. The BlackBerry allowed police to track his movements April 8 and after.

Chapter 12: A recap of the surveillance video.

Salem's warning from last week:
Okay everybody - LISTEN UP! We are not bashing, accusing or blaming Tori's family here. It won't be allowed.
Children walk home from school every day without incident. Parents are not perfect, it's just not possible. Tori's parents DID NOT do this to her. TLM and an accomplice DID. That is where the blame goes.
We had a lot of family bashing in the early parts of this investigation after Tori went missing and a lot of baseless accusations - NONE OF WHICH PROVED TO BE TRUE. Victim and family bashing will not be allowed during this trial.
Thank you,
Salem

and reposting SoSueMe's warning:
As some of you may have noticed, the members following this case are dropping in numbers. It's disheartening to us because we need and welcome discussion of both sides of every issue on Websleuths.
Zero tolerance means ZERO tolerance. Please discuss this case with respect to your fellow members. Subtle and veiled harassment and/or talking in code about other members will not be tolerated.
A word of caution on the Alerts in this forum. If you alert a post, make sure it is a clear violation of our Terms of Service. A difference of opinion is not a violation of TOS.
Please note that everything discussed in court and printed/tweeted is now within the realm of discussion. WS has never and does not now have a policy of "innocent until proven guilty." That is for the court room. Here, we discuss, speculate, theorize and judge according to the opinions we develop from following the case.
Keeping that in mind, abuse of our alert system is a good way to find yourself in timeout or worse. Abuse of the alert systems includes, but is not limited to:
Alerting repeatedly on the same poster;
Demanding a specific outcome;
Alerting on the same post more than once.
Once you have alerted a post, move on and don't question the decisions of our Administrators, Moderators or Owners.
Following this trial is very important to our members and we're going to see that they have their day in court. The "zero tolerance" policy in this forum will continue and it will be enforced.
Thank you and please carry on.

We were talking about MR's knife that TLM drew the pic of.

(my man just asked me what I needed the camera for, ghost or alien, cause he asked me what I needed it for and I told him he'd think I was crazy if I told him)

I was under the impression it was a regular fold out knife rather than a utility knife, because I thought my man had one. Well, I found the blue Mastercraft knife here and it is indeed a utility knife. I haven't seen anything different online. Definitely a good reason there would have been no blade in it. Will add some pics of it in a min.

Remembering Tori Stafford "My Way"

DNA evidence expected as testimony resumes at Tori Stafford murder trial

Scientists who ran DNA and other tests on several items of evidence are scheduled to take the stand.

Forensic scientists set to testify on DNA evidence at Rafferty trial

Two scientists from the Centre of Forensic Sciences are expected to take the stand starting Tuesday; forensic biologist Jennifer McLean will go first, followed by forensic scientist Barbara Doupe.

An indication of how important this evidence is to the Crown goes back to day one of the trial when Attorney Kevin Gowdey advised the jury to "listen very carefully to the DNA evidence" in his opening statement.

That lawyer wanted another vacation day :p

Good morning everyone, i guess its a day of discussion for us and the DNA will be in our minds another day :(
 
Good morning!

Well I hope it isn't anything serious, doesn't sound like it is. To be honest, I really don't feel like being patient, but I guess we'll have to wait for tomorrow. I'm sending out extra special thoughts and good wishes on the wings of magical butterflie for all of Tori's loved ones this morning.
 
So disappointing. I didn't think it was the Crown because they have experts scheduled and the Court has taken breaks, etc. to conform with the various schedules - so this propably messess at least one expert's schedule up.
