I followed Tori's disappearance daily (I must admit I was suspicious of her mother for quite a while.) I commend Terri-Lynn for pleading guilty. Her statement is quite eloquent - I wonder if she wrote it herself. I wonder if Rafferty thinks he has a chance in hell of being found not guilty.
Your welcome Kip, I wasn't sure how many people outside of Canada followed this. I agree about her mother Tara, especially when the news about the drugs came out, she was always a bit weird at the press conferences she had too.
I believe this is an edited statement from TLM, maybe once this trial is over they will release the unedited version.... Unfortunately I don't think now that we will get any answers from her as to why they did this tomorrow, I will never understand people, what makes you want to beat as abuse a young girl and leave her partially naked in a field??
I hope rafferty doesn't think he has a chance of being found not guilty, unless they rely on the fact that he was never seen clearly in the surveillance videos and it's just TLM's word? The one good thing is that don't have to prove he comitted the actual murder to find him guilty of the charges, just that he was there and participated and if he is found guilty is automatic 25 years in prison.
I am still considering whether to go tomorrow, only as I am interested to see how TLM talks, reacts and what she says on the stand, I don't think I could handle hearing all the horrid details though :(
Jezreel, hundreds of us followed this case on the now-defunct InSession message board. I'd watch the video of Tori going off with the unknown (at the time) woman frame by frame, hoping to spot something. I too don't understand how people can do something like this - and when two or more people are involved, it's even more mind boggling. It's hard to imagine a second person not putting a stop to such a heinous plan. If you do go, I'd love to hear your impressions of TLM. But I totally understand your not wanting to hear the details. Details of some cases (like the Christian/Newsom murders) kept me awake for weeks.
