Christie Blatchford's articles are interesting to read, she doesn't hold back, I have snipped a couple of paragraph's
National Post:
Snipped - For a fellow who was purportedly “horrified” when Terri-Lynne McClintic first abducted and then abruptly killed a little Woodstock, Ont., girl in the spring of 2009, Michael Rafferty appears to have pulled himself together rather quickly.
Indeed, Mr. Rafferty did what any man who had just watched a shocking child murder might do: He went onto a dating website called Plenty of Fish and proceeded to become involved with no fewer than two women.
The suggestion that Mr. Rafferty, now 31, was aghast when McClintic purportedly killed the eight-year-old came from his lawyer, Dirk Derstine, during his cross-examination of McClintic last month.

Another:
As witnesses go, Alexis Lane was in the short and sweet category, called to the stand as a courtesy Wednesday, in the midst of the much denser evidence being given by the lead forensic biologist, because Ms. Lane is about to leave on a trip.
She was probably done in less than 10 minutes, but to Michael Rafferty it was obviously the most compelling part of the day.

Snipped - But from the moment Ms. Lane walked into the courtroom until the moment she left, Mr. Rafferty’s eyes followed her.
She is a pretty 30-year-old with long dark hair who first met the meaty fellow in the prisoner’s box when they were both in Grade 6 in Drayton, a village of about 1,800 northwest of Guelph, Ont.

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
