Good call on the crowns part.
 
yes I believe it was...RS had thrown out some doubt that day and JG raced out of the house and attacked poor Rodney...Rodney always showed doubt in this from the start...JMO

The anger was/is understandable on both sides. No need to keep trying to make Tori's Mother's side look bad in all of this.
 
No. That was because Tara said something about not crying and not wanted to be compared to Susan Smith. Rodney asked her if she was implying that his crying made him like Susan Smith.

basically that

Oh my ... that's ugly. I stand corrected. Thank you, JMO
 
Sorry, I respectfully disagree. Sleeping around and having 12 or more women on the go at once are two totally different things. And what about taking money from a women who is "escorting" at your suggestion. MOO.

I work in the hotel industry and see what people do when they think no one who knows them are looking ... Plenty of well know men have had hundreds of women and brag about it ... Does that make them child rapists?

Besides, I know a few bartenders that have had plenty of women, more then MR ...

Rape is not about sex ... It is about power and control ...
 
It was not proven that she did not either. The extreme likelihood is there of some remote acquaintance. Poor Tori, skipped along and chatted with too much trust for stranger danger. JMO

Or like I posted before that is it very likely that Tori saw TLM many times walking her dog and that is why she went so willingly. JMO

Like millions of other little girls would do. Kids are easy to manipulate.
 
RaffertyLFP: Derstine says McClintic "poisoned the entire atmosphere or courtroom" with her lies

Derstine says the court proceedings are important, a "special time". Almost all of the people who testified took that into account.

But McClintic poisoned the atmosphere of the courtroom.

*head shake*

TLM testified. The end. Sorry it ruined somebody's "special time".

:Moo: it is not always just about power and control.
 
Is there a video of MR mom speaking to the media after court?
 
When Derstine says that Rafferty was horrified to see what McClintic had done to Tori, why didn't he call the police or ambulance or some kind of help instead of helping to hide the crime.MOO.

Because they both didnt trust each other. They probably made a packed, well he did with her because he knew she would get busted and that is why she said she would take the fall and he loooooved that he was just making sure she would follow through. I am sorry she did not come up with this concocted plan he did. JMO

Derstine on McClintic: "I’m going to suggest to you, has perjured herself, over and over and over again"

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
Derstine on back seat missing in #Rafferty's car. Reminds Jury of neighbour saying there were tiny cuts, not big cuts as McClintic said

Steven D'Souza ‏ @cbcsteve
on jail visits, Derstine suggests #Rafferty & McClintic got caught in strange cycle where neither wanted the other to tell on them

There is no evidence anywhere that she "perjured herself" (lying on the stand), actually it seemed to me quite the opposite.....everything she said seemed to corrolate with the evidence!!!!
 
She said he had killed Tori soon after he said he was going to stop visiting.

Derstine suggests McClintic thought Rafferty helped her out, and she didn't want him to go to police on her.

RaffertyLFP: Derstine said it was McClintic who initiated contact with Rafferty after the crime

RaffertyLFP: Derstine said that Rafferty and McClintic maintained contact because both feared the other would go to the police

Who gave her money to put minutes on her phone?

MOO

The <modsnip> pact<modsnip> was likely TLM would keep him out of it, if he helped her in what she needed or demanded. JMO
 
Have we seen any proof that TLM was the first to make contact, I don't remember that.

No but it says something about the person. To me Rafferty couldnt get enough sex and once the women realized that "something was off about him" they took off. He was very secretive so its not just that he was a male *advertiser censored*.

People dont randomly just rape a child. They have fantasized about it and yes I do believe he did fantasize about raping a child.

I am just glad I am not a juror to make this choice with all that I have heard from the beginning from all directions.
