		The extent of contact between the Jessops and the Morins was a contentious issue in the case, particularly as it was relevant to the weight to be given to fiber comparisons relied upon by the prosecution at trial.
		Constable Robertson testified at the second trial that he was given Christine's sweater to give his dog Ryder her scent, and that when he and the dog approached Morin's beige Honda, the dog "began sniffing in a pronounced way" and put its front paws up against the glass on the passenger side.
		For example, Morin told the detectives that Christine was a very innocent child; later he allegedly said that, "All little girls are sweet and beautiful, but grow up to be corrupt." At another point, Morin allegedly said, "I'm innocent," although the detectives later said that they had not suggested he was a suspect.

	R. v. Morin
		It seems to me that this evidence does not go beyond proving that Christine could have been in the Honda motor vehicle and that the accused could have been at the scene of the killing and, of course, that is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
		On the issue of insanity there was considerable psychiatric evidence to the effect that the accused is a person with a mental illness and that he is so constituted that he is quite capable of committing the crime in question, that is sexual assault and killing.
		The evidence was relevant and significant on the question of the identity of the killer of Christine Jessop, and on that issue it was admissible.

		It's very reminiscent of the Christine Jessop murder investigation north of Toronto, where the victim's FAMILY actually found several bones at the murder scene five months after the Durham Regional Police forensics team had been through.
		That case, of course, resulted in the acquittal, second trial, wrongful conviction and subsequent second acquittal (once DNA testing had advanced enough to give a conclusive answer) of Guy Paul Morin.
		The simple fact is that police forensics teams don't expect to find full skeletons of bodies long dead (Jessop had also been missing for some time when her remains were found), largely due to animal activity.
