"Think of the extensive sifting of ash by Cst. Oxton," which found a child's molar. #Garland

Parker says if #Garland planned just to kill he wouldn't have needed an hour and a half in the home. Said he would have been "in and out"

If victims were killed in the Liknes home there would have been no reason for #Garland to transport the bodies to his farm, says Parker.

Valerie Fortney ‏@ValFortney 40s41 seconds ago
Crown: jury should find beyond a reasonable doubt that Nathan was still alive when taken, so it is first degree murder. #Garland

Bill GravelandVerified account ‏@BillGraveland 47s48 seconds ago
Parkernsays #Garland did a lot of work transporting three bodies to the farm. If they were dead he wouldn't have transported them.

I didn't think about the bruise on his knee in that way but it makes sense that wall lying on the ground Alvin grabbed the dumbbell and hit Garland in the knee with it. That would explain how blood was found on the dumbbell. It was transfer blood that was on Garland.
