I find this offensive.
Next time you have Friday afternoon drinks with the prosecutors, ask them about it.

100% definitive proof is not required.
The prosecutions closing tied a lot of the evidence together is a very clear and convincing manner. The handprint was the proof the victims were to be transported alive. It represented "height and movement". Did you have an opportunity to follow the tweets?
Could you please post the link for that fact? I must have missed it. TIA

Right out of the gates I questioned the credibility of the prosecution. It's almost like the prosecutors have watched too much TV. I really felt that they had some other odd agenda beyond a conviction.
I'm pretty sure that the prosecutors like to sit around and have Friday afternoon drinks while joking about the guy who got the ice pick in the ear, but it almost seems like this bizarre view of the world has entered the courtroom.
I think the Crown did a good job to show that it is HIGHLY likely (i.e. above a reasonable doubt) that DG was driving around their neighbourhood the night they were killed. He parked his truck by their house. Their bodies disappeared from their house. He researched lock-picking/drilling. Their lock was drilled. (Where did those darn shavings go? :gaah He was seen driving back toward the farm. Their bodies were at the farm. It's difficult to imagine that he didn't kill them.
To me, the only question mark is whether the jury will go for first degree murder. The lock tampering seals it for me though. There's the evidence of planning as opposed to the "oh, he got arguing with them and ended up killing them in a rage" scenario. (Of course all of the research ahead of time the the purchasing of the tools to get rid of bodies, etc., etc., etc. are just extras that put it way over the top of reasonable doubt.)
So if DG's defence attorneys are not court appointed, does this mean DG/his family has to personally pay?
Any idea what this would cost?
Nice summary, The shavings yes, but Garland senior did say DG was thorough.

I've been curious about the shavings. I actually think it is a non-issue and was only brought up by defense to boggle the jury's minds with facts that don't matter so they focus less on the facts that do matter. You know like the fact that his client murdered three people.
Anyways my husband is a Millwright and he said when they drill metal they have a magnet that they use to pick the shavings up.

Uncalled for! I have never had Friday afternoon drinks with prosecutors. Why do you insist on insulting people - you have absolutely no insights on how these people spend their time. Slander can be costly! Actually correction - if verbal it's slander - in writing it's libel.
I agree that it was purely a distraction by the defense/defence () as they had so little to work with. I was being my usual sarcastic self. :blushing:
But thanks for the interesting tidbit about the magnet. That solves that problem. I learn something new every day!
Don't take it personally. I was discussing the prosecutors, and I do know how they spend their time.
Jinx LOL One of us owes a coke.
See my post 511
No I was totally the same way when I read about the metal shavings! It was the one thing defense said that made me stop and think! And then I was like "hey he got me" because there I am questioning my husband about metal shavings when it doesn't even matter!
