One could high deduce JG was in the courtroom, being as he is decked out in a suit and why else would he be present at the courthouse? Just hanging around? MOO See link for picture.
A tearful Tara McDonald, mother of slain eight-year-old Woodstock girl Victoria Stafford, receives a hug from partner James Goris during a break in proceedings at the trial for Michael Rafferty, the accused in her daughter's murder in London Ontario,Tuesday, March 13, 2012.
Rafferty urged her to kidnap a "young female, because the younger they were the easier they were to manipulate," McClintic recalled Rafferty as saying.
As they made their way past Oliver Stephens Public School that day, Rafferty told McClintic to prove she wasn't "all talk," she said.
"I said do what, you just want me to grab somebody?" McClintic testified through deep breaths, long pauses and tears. "He said it would be easy. '(They're) getting out of school now. All you have to do is talk about dogs or candy or something like that.'"
Rafferty had said things in the past that had bothered her too, McClintic said Tuesday, but she ignored them because she so badly wanted to have finally found a good man.
"There'd be times that he would say things. We would be driving past schools and he would make a comment like, 'it would be so easy to do this,' " McClintic told the jury.
Later as school was letting out, McClintic said Rafferty parked in a retirement home lot just down the street, and her plan was to pretend she went looking for a girl to kidnap but would come back empty-handed. But as he slowly drove past her, watching her, she decided she would find a child and walk beside them, but not go any further, she said.

Very interesting part; the last bolded and underlined part about MR driving past TLM and watching her to make sure she was going to follow through with his request/dare.
TLM has provided too many definite details to not be the truth. If she was lying about what actually happened, I am positive she would have been caught up in her lies, but she hasn't. The only thing that has changed in her story, that we are aware of, is who stomped and kicked Tori and who used the hammer. IMHO she could have stuck by her original story that it was MR who had done that sickening act to Tori, but she didn't. So far the evidence cannot determine who actually did those sickening things to Tori (stomping, kicking and using the hammer).
TLM is taking the blame for that now and why? Because she wants the truth to now be known, as she is the closest person to tell the truth of what really happened April 8, 2009. TLM has NO reason whatsoever to lie anymore so why would she? Evil, psychotic people are capable of telling the truth. The evidence proved so far in MR's trial backs up everything she has said during her time on the stand. I will stand by MOO I believe TLM told the story just as it happened, and why it happened. All :moo:
