Any chance someone could post initials and names of all the parties at the beginning of the threads? I find I completely forget who we're talking about sometimes.

Lawyers begin with legal arguments, jurors are not in the room which means we can't report. Stay tuned @CHCHNews #Bosma

@susanclairmont Do the courts appoint someone to monitor what media is tweeting/writing to ensure nothing is reported that shouldn't be?

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 9m9 minutes ago

I think it's safe to say all the lawyers/detectives are watching everything we do.

We've been in court for the #Bosma murder trial for an hour and the lawyers continue their legal arguments. No jury in the room. @CHCHNews

Looks like today is going to much like yesterday. A lot of legal arguments. IMO it's centering around the Eliminator. Pillay was very quick to object yesterday when Cook made the observation that it looked that it had been used more than once. I'm wondering, if the Crown can get that into evidence here, that it can be used in a later trial.

What could be the argument now?
The equipment manufacturer can't state that it would be possible to burn a human body in the incinerator!!!
IMO
