RaffertyLFP: He explains direct evidence is watching and feeling rain on your face Circumstantial is finding puddles on ground and assuming it rained
WTF?

Jury back. Justice Heeney clarifies that there were three DNA profiles on #Rafferty's gym bag. One could have been Tori, may not be blood.
Heeney is "helping you make a decision, not telling you what decision to make".
RaffertyLFP: Heeney tells jury that that they are judges in the trial just like him He conducts the trial - they are the judges of fact
RaffertyLFP: Heeney said the jury must follow all the legal rules that apply to their process even if they disagree
That's certainly refreshing ... it's fantastic that the Judge is ensuring that the crown's case factually correct, including the closing arguments. The defence can fabricate whatever they want, but the crown will only work with the facts. That's certainly a point for the integrity of justice system.
