**Contains very graphic detail that will not be suitable to some readers**. *Discretion is advised* More closing arguments by the Crown are expected throughout day 37 of the first degree murder trial of Michael Rafferty. Kevin Gowdey says he will require the majority of Wednesday to finish his summary of the final 5 chapters with the jury. Gowdey ended his first day of closing submissions on Tuesday by talking about the contents of Michael Rafferty?s Blue 2003 Honda Civic, Rafferty?s Gym bag that was found within the car containing evidence of tiny fragments of blood that were found on the bottom of the bag mixed with Rafferty?s DNA. Those findings were determined through a Forensic Pathologist in earlier testimony. Gowdey also spoke about other blood samples in the car and other DNA that was found that could not be ruled out that it belonged to 8 year old Tori Stafford. Gowdey also touched on the importance of Terri-Lynne McClintic?s testimony of how she described under oath how Michael Rafferty brutally and repeatedly raped Tori Stafford before he allegedly threw the girl to the ground and struck her 4 times in the head with both ends of a hammer while she was smothered with garbage bags. Gowdey explained to the jury "McClintic?s testimony defies the idea that the sexual assault could not have happened?. Closing arguments will resume this morning at 10:00AM.
