I think this still would have gone to trial in Canada, especially since its a pretty despicable murder, and the suspect tried to shift the blame to somebody with a pretty iron clad alibi.

I am not sure how their system works, but from what I understand it is fairly common in an interrogation to get the suspect to 'guess' what may have occurred. This is what the defense claims are the so-called 'different stories' this girl has provided.
This never would have gone to trial in Canada, since there was nothing associating her with the crime. I am amazed that she was even a suspect. I am even more amazed smart people in this group think she is guilty. Please provide some of the evidence that ties her to the crime, besides living in the apartment.
Some guy climbed through a window and raped/killed the victim, and this guy was caught (with absolute DNA evidence against him). The issue is that the police and media unfortunately lambasted this girl in the media and then the witch hunt was on.
