Ms. McClintic, 21, admitted killing the girl, but she said at trial for murder of Mr. Rafferty that he orchestrated the crime together, ordering him to remove a child from the Street outside a school public and sexually assaulted Tori in the back seat of his car on a rural road.
But Mr. Derstine described his client as a driver more than to Ms. McClintic that day.
"It was you who were the decisions," Mr. Derstine told Ms. McClintic, as his client watched the prisoner box glass wall.
True PAS, she replied.
Mr. Derstine left many parts of the wave scenario, failing to drug debt or how Ms. McClintic came to have the child in his or her possession.
Counsel also painted Mrs. McClintic as a dark individual capable of great violence and little remorse. He ended his cross-examination by describing two recent revelations, as it did earlier this year in conversations with his godmother, while only incarcerated at Grand Valley institution for women in Kitchener.
In the first, Ms. McClintic said that only, it was sad that she killed Tori the age of the girl. If it was a person, it would be "do it again," he said.
In its second communication, Ms. McClintic confessed that she had as a child, that she had many a small family dog until he yelled, leaving the so badly injured animal to.
At the time, Ms. McClintic had lied, blaming the injuries to the dog canine of a neighbour, Mr. Derstine said. His family never knew the truth.
"Person, apparently, could believe that you could be so cruel to such an innocent person," he said in conclusion to his cross-examination.
Also Friday, court heard an audio recording of an interview with Mr. Rafferty police six weeks after the death of Tori, shortly before he was charged, who provided some details biographical first human to emerge.
He is accused of murder in the first degree, sexual assault causing bodily harm and kidnapping. He pleaded not guilty.
In the interview with the police, he said he spent the year before bouncing back and forth between Oakville - where he works as a contractor landscape and construction with his brother - and Woodstock.
He had lived with two different women during this period and was now residing with her mother. In the interview, he spoke a third woman which he had briefly dated and the daughter was friend with Tori.
While he admitted to know Ms. McClintic, he denied that they were dating.
But the most dramatic testimony Friday passed earlier in the day, as Mr. Derstine grilled Ms. McClintic and sketched his own version of events.
The young woman testified that, having driven Tori from his school, Mr. Rafferty was arrested at a Tim Hortons in Guelph and walked away from the car. He also abandoned Ms. McClintic at a nearby Home Depot, where it bought a hammer - the murder weapon - and garbage bags.
Why, Mr. Derstine asked, did she step get help to save the life of Tori or time?
"In my mind, I thought I was not going to let anything happen to bad," she said. "I could just go along... that I could follow... I talk, drive." … I would not be something to happen. ?
Mr. Derstine rejected this assertion. Instead, he said, Ms. McClintic "offered" Tori at her boyfriend. When he refused the "gift", she told to drive to a rural road north of Guelph.
There, Mr. alleged Derstine, Ms. McClintic said Mr. Rafferty it talk to Tori only because the girl was afraid of him. Mr. Rafferty left and returned a few moments later to find, to her horror, that Ms. McClintic had killed the child.
Ms. McClintic, told him that his script was all just right.
On Friday afternoon, the Ontario Provincial Police Detective Constable Colin Darmon said Court on various parts of McClintic Ms. Woodstock reported to investigators that they have rebuilt the events.
One was a townhouse next to the school of Tori, near a house where the little girl herself once lived. Mr. Rafferty showed Ms. McClintic home and told her that it was the home of a single mother with two children, he told.
The trial resumes Tuesday.
