Does it have to be a unanimous verdict here?
Would you be won over by any of that? The jury have seen more than we have. I think it's an insult to average intelligence.

I don't find it clever at all. And I think using Jennifer O'Brien to undermine first degree was a big tactical error. One juror may have doubts but the other jurors will ask them if those doubts are reasonable based on the judge's coming instructions.
I think it was a weak closing for the Defence. They're just throwing stuff out there in the hopes they can put a wedge between a couple of jurors and the rest. Not much else they can do really.
I'm not buying what he's selling and I don't think a single juror will buy it either.
The Evidence presented has been gruesome, unfortunately logical as logical as this can be. Evidence was overwhelming and compelling.
Even with tweets I can't help but find DG guilty of 1st degree three times over.

Crown suggest Alvin Liknes was the first one assaulted. All his blood in master bedroom, mixed profiles in spare room. #Garland

I agree about JO.
What would you consider a more clever strategy for a defence lawyer in this case?

One thing I took issue with was the prosecution's claim that Garland was a medical student. I'm pretty sure that he was in his first semester of a science degree when he quit school. That's a far stretch from a medical student.
The other questionable claim is that the victims were alive when they left the property. There has been no proof of that, but again we see how important it is to the prosecution for the court to believe this. Although it has been posted here that it makes no difference, I am not convinced. The prosecution can summarize the evidence, not spin new information into the evidence.

Apparently it is true.
For about a year, Douglas Garland attended medical school at the University of Alberta until he suffered what his mother believes was a breakdown and dropped out of school.

Court documents show Garland was smart enough to get into medical school...

As for whether they were still alive when they were taken from the home, all we kmow for certain is the medical examiner's statement: "They may still have been alive, she says, noting that the amount of blood wasnt sufficient to prove death had occurred in the home."
If I remember correctly, it is more likely that at least Nathan was still alive.

Not happening.
The defense basically admitted that those were the bodies on the farm. There is no other logical explanation. Common sense. Case closed.
:judge: :behindbar:
We actually learned back in 2014 that he was kicked out of med school for cheating on his exams. It is in our earlier threads with supporting links.
So lets talk about the big elephant in the room ... who killed them and how long has DG been working as a Mafia Cleanup man?
