Or is he wearing purple intentionally?

Or is he wearing purple intentionally?

Either way, he is accused of kidnapping, sexually assaulting and murdering Victoria.

I am sure that Victoria's loved ones are wearing purple, and it would be obvious that is Victoria's colour.

If Rafferty wanted to show support for Victoria and her family, NOW, during his MURDER TRIAL, is NOT the time, IMO.

My thought wasn't in support, but rather "in your face" JMO

Yes, you could be right, Puppyraiser.

In any case, likely is not the best move he ever made.

Defence questions Scoyne about location of silos, fence, trees and rock pile at the site where #ToriStafford was found #Rafferty

 

[Sailor Bug]

Scoyne and Derstine having trouble getting on the same page on the layout. Seem to be figuring it out.

RaffertyLFP: Topography of area around rock pile discussed, sight lines

Derstine says the ground has an incline as you move away from the rock pile. Scoyne disagrees.

Derstine notes there are more then one set of silos that McClintic could have seen from the crime scene. Scoyne agrees.

The defence is asking Scoyne about the location and size of the rock pile, trees and silos in the distance

Scoyne questioned about the visibility of silos from the rock pile area.

Derstine says two sets of silos can be seen from the curve of the lane way. Scoyne says just one.

Scoyne shown diagram that Terri-Lynne McClintic made to help police find remains of Tori Stafford.

Defence is now focusing questions on the silos in the area.Issue appears to be which one was visible from the laneway. #sl #rafferty

 

[Sailor Bug]

Now showing Scoyne the drawing McClintic's drawing on the scene. There's a red mark by the rock pile. Just east of it.

Asked again about what silos could be seen from the crime scene

Scoyne agrees you could see a silo from that spot. Derstine says silo location marker on McClintic's drawing is wrong.

Derstine is finished with his questions. Carnegie and Heeney reminding the jury that the scene view is an aide, not evidence.

Rafferty's lawyer has no more questions for Scoyne. Crown redirects.

And I guess if we saw the diagram Rafferty drew of the area we could determine which one is more accurate, oh wait a minute..
