Countdown To The Verdict: Is Pickton Guilty Or Innocent?

Justice James Williams has stated that closing arguments will be heard between November 13 – 15th. He will first address the jury, scheduled for November 16th, 19th, 20th, since summarizing all of the evidence and applying the law to the particulars of this case will be time-consuming “You’ll be tired of hearing my voice,” he said.

Justice James Williams stated that the jury will be sequestered, which means they will be guests if not prisoners of a hotel room by night until they reach a verdict. I’ve been waiting patiently for this day to come after hearing from 128 witnesses over the past 99 days of testimony.

I wondered if Defence would put Pickton on the stand on his own behalf, but after listening to the argument regarding his IQ, I could understand why they didn’t put him on. Pickton’s IQ was recorded to being between 86 - 115, which means he’s not retarded. Pickton showed a smile from the prisoner’s box during the debate of his mental IQ, which gave me a sense that he was playing a game of cat and mouse. One question asked was if he realized what he was saying to the police after his arrest.

I just finished some psychological tests myself when I was going for custody of my grandson, and some of the questions asked were pretty bazaar and actually, I thought they were pretty stupid. However, when I heard the outcome, I wondered how this stranger could come up with the results he did after meeting with him only two times.

I was only open and honest with him, which now I think was a mistake, however, I won in the end. That is until I got diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
