The crown rested it's case this afternoon and court has been adjourned until Tuesday. Dirk Derstine will then advise at that time if he will be presenting evidence. Mike Knoll who does the tweets for London Free Press gave a little tidbit today that if Rafferty is to testify in his own defense he would have to testify first before anyone else the defense may call. There has been a lot of speculation by reporters that he might as he has been furiously writing notes almost throughout the entire trial. I guess we will find out Tuesday, Hmm I may even go down if I can to see what happens.
On another note, this is about Terr-Lynne McClintic who pleaded guilty to the murder in April 2010.
LFPress - Terri-Lynne McClintic, already serving a life sentence for the murder of eight-year old Victoria Stafford, will set a trial date next week on an assault charge in Kitchener.
McClintic made a brief video court appearance in the Ontario Court of Justice Thursday. Her defence lawyer Geoff Snow told the court he had instructions to set the case for trial.
That date is to be set on Tuesday.
McClintic, 21, is charged with assault causing bodily harm against fellow inmate Aimee McIntyre, who is also serving a life sentence at the Grand Valley Institution for Women.
Snow would not give details of the allegations and said that the decision to go to trial was entirely McClintic's "I support her taking this to trial," he said.
McClintic was one of the key witnesses at the ongoing first degree murder trial of Michael Rafferty, who has pleaded not guilty to first degree murder in the little girl's death on April 8, 2009.
She pleaded guilty in the Stafford case and was sentenced to life with no chance of parole for 25 years.
During her testimony, she changed her story and said she killed the little girl after Rafferty allegedly sexually assaulted her. The jury was allowed to see a prior confession where she said it was Rafferty who killed the child.

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