After an extended break, lawyers and judge are in the courtroom, they're having a discussion before calling the jury in. #Magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 5:50:09 PM
Jury's back, and we're continuing with testimony of Alex West, British jour no who met #Magnotta in Dec 2010, six months before the killing

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 5:58:25 PM
Crown prosecutor Louis Bouthillier says he has not more questions, so defence attorney Luc Leclair takes over. He's displaying the email.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 5:59:12 PM
Leclair: I'm taking your mind back to Nov. 19, 2012 ... The email is from Alex West to Leclair asking for an interview and details on trial.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:01:32 PM
Lelclair: What were some of the questions you wanted to ask #Magnotta ?
West: I think I wanted to follow the story.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:02:13 PM
Leclair asks what his points of interest were. West says he honestly can't remember any line of questioning he had in mind then. #magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:03:02 PM
West says he wanted to more than anything open a dialogue with Lelcair, "which obviously failed" since he never heard back. #Magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:03:54 PM
West says he came to Montreal as a reporter during the preliminary hearings. #magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:06:07 PM
When he approached the bench to ask for certain names of representation they handed him a subpoena and asked to interview him. #Magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:06:41 PM
Answering Qs from Leclair, West says he was arrested outside a pub for drug-legated incident, was suspended until police dropped charges.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:09:03 PM
That was in January 2008. His suspension lasted a few weeks. #Magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:09:41 PM
Leclair is asking West about the notorious phone hacking scandal. His former boss was involved. But nothing to do with what's at hand.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:13:43 PM
West just shakes his head when Leclair mentions Rebecca Brooks. #Magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/21/2014 6:14:29 PM
No court tomorrow. See you Thursday morning.

I'm back on the murder trial in Montreal today. Seeing images of people in Ottawa getting on with their lives is beautiful.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 12:51:58 PM

by Domenic Fazioli via twitter 10/23/2014 1:40:24 PM
Further to my last tweet, we may have a distinctively gruesome day. I'll try to keep to my habit of trying to tweet context rather than gore

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 1:40:54 PM
Jury is back in, judge tells them Crown expects to wrap its case next Tuesday and a couple of days might pass before defence presents.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 2:03:38 PM
The court today is going to resume testimony of Panagiotis Sarganis, who examined data files from #Magnotta 's discarded digital camera

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 2:04:08 PM
Those files include the original material from which the video online was cut. #magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 2:04:36 PM
Going through the pictures and videos, Leclair is establishing the time passed between each sequence/photo was shot. #Magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 6:42:55 PM
‘You OK?’ #Magnotta asks mystery man bound to bed days before killing #JunLin . Court sees data recovered from camera.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 6:47:19 PM
Going through the gruesome photos again in cross-exam, defence is setting out a timeline of #JunLin 's dismemberment and beheading. #Magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 7:01:52 PM
While #Magnotta was collecting footage for his snuff film, he switched between taking stills and videos, as evidenced by timestamps.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 7:04:08 PM
All were taken on May 25, 2012 though. #magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 7:04:21 PM
Sitting on a chair in the prisoner's box, #Magnotta is leaned very far over. His body is almost completely folded over his legs.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 7:05:54 PM
Lawyers, defendant, jurors and judge back in room following afternoon break. Next witness is up.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 7:45:50 PM
Witness is Francesco Massa, who also works in the technological crimes unit with Montreal police. #Magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 7:48:17 PM
Massa is declared an expert, so will testify as a forensic computer analyst. He analyzed two computers - one found in garbage #Magnotta

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 7:50:22 PM
Massa says he works on forensic copies of computers. He began his search for where #Magnotta might be using keywords from police.

by amy minsky via twitter 10/23/2014 7:53:25 PM
Investigation begins with basics: determining OS (Windows XP), registered under name (Dell), installed in (June, 29 2005). #Magnotta
