Who Killed My Friends And Why?

In the past few weeks at court, we have sat through days upon days of the experts qualifying evidence, which are pictures of actual evidence collected in huge binders. So far, there has been no actual physical evidence brought into the court, and having the pictures admitted as such has been long, tedious and sometimes flat out boring, which makes for few things to report on.

As of last Thursday though we got a glimmer into how this tedious, exacting procedure is a framework for the rest of the evidence. We can now see the testimony that is to come. We are learning the results of those all the samples taken, and we have learned thus far that hair from Sereena Abotsway has been found on a blanket in Pickton's trailer. To make it very clear, the court was told that the tests have an accuracy of 42 billion to 1.

Some lipsticks that were found on the property have been shown to have the DNA of Andrea Joesbury and Brenda Wolfe on them as well as Dinah Taylor's - an acquaintance of Pickton, who resided on his property for a while and whose name pops up during this case with frequency.

It was also admitted into evidence that DNA from some of the lab persons were found on evidence, but Joy Kearsey, a RCMP lab analyst, assured the court in no way would that interfere with the DNA results from those items.

I feel I am starting to hear my friends voices start to speak even louder. I know that in the coming days and weeks their stories, as told by their residual body parts, will tell what horrors befell them.
