I'm a little late with this comment, but I was AAFK for most of the day, logged on to briefly catch up on news, and am blown away. I fully expected the jury to continue deliberating through the weekend, attempting to discern facts from all the lies and debating DM and MS's respective roles in...

True. I was actually referring to another post regarding the effects of adrenaline on an otherwise tranquil person. I believe a poster mentioned she was able to throw her much larger husband down in a moment of extreme anger. I can attest to lifting only maybe 70-80 pounds of dead weight on a...

<RSBM> If that's the case, I might argue that drawing a conclusion based on a personal, familiar experience is likewise not "logically supported." A few people mentioned in previous weeks the possibility of DM benefiting from an adrenaline rush to lift TB into the incinerator alone. My...

<modsnip> MS could be telling the truth. But in my mind, there's strong likelihood that he didn't. Prior to his testifying in court, there were people here and elsewhere, and possibly some in the jury, who sympathized with MS and his association with an alleged psychopath - as was their...

<RSBM> Ha, I didn't, though I understand why you did. IMO, handsome is as handsome does - if you can even call DM that. I'm far more wary of men who think they're good looking, act as though they're God's gift to humankind, and get implicated in not one, but three different murders. But this is...

Speaking for myself, I don't think I can credit MS with the kind of integrity and character it'll take to admit his minimal, or extensive, involvement in TB's death. ATM, I also don't see MS and TD as opportunistic risk-takers willing to throw DM under the bus by first admitting MS's role in...

I'm not sure MS will testify before the jury voluntarily or at TD's behest. I can think of three possibilities, of many, for the jury and TD to consider: 1) MS is innocent of planning to kill TB and the evidence, or lack thereof, will speak for him 2) MS appears guilty of planning the truck...

If we can't trust that AM simply followed MS's directives to deliver him the drugs, and then the toolbox with MH, should we trust MH's testimony, on whose word many people presumed that both he and AM attempted to frame MS? Because MH had allegedly reported MS to Crime Stoppers and dropped off...

<RSBM> I believe the same. DM may be the more likely of the two of them to arrogantly defy his lawyers' advice, and testify anyway. But it's possible TD wouldn't urge MS to set the record straight, even if DM decided to rat him out before the jury. I've a feeling TD will do whatever he can to...

<modsnip> I'm interested to see who the Crown will call upon to testify this week. With all the legal arguments and possible admission of more evidence, the Crown's case may very well end by mid or late April. I guess we'll have to see.

Perhaps, but I'm still pondering what those reasons may have been. I don't think the witness offered detailed explanations behind her fear of DM, prior to the author's edits. She made references to drug-fueled brawls, but didn't connect them to DM's direct involvement in said incidents - if he...

MOO, I'm not sure what else DM can do while in prison that he hasn't already done? He probably ratted out on his associates to his lawyers and fabricated a story to bring them down with him (though that plan hadn't worked the way he wanted to). If he does secure early release, or an acquittal...

Hmm, I gave SS the benefit of the doubt and initially thought I had reason to do so. He'd cooperated with LE after DM's arrest, painted DM as an inconsistent risk-taker, and attempted to place DM and MS in the hangar video at 1 am on May 7. While I disagree with AJ and SS's motives, decisions...

DM also gets a "guilty" from me. I'm still holding out my verdict on MS, at least until the Crown submits more evidence regarding his involvement in TB's death (though I suspect he's responsible at the very least for cleaning up after the fact, if not outrightly participating in the intimidation...

Yep, two different cases, but with similarities I thought I'd highlight (in response to the possible scenario that DM and MS threatened to kill TB with a gun if he didn't leave his truck behind - which might still be interpreted as Forcible / Unlawful Confinement, but that's according to my...

I was curious about the scenario you presented and looked up whether or not a case such as this occurred in the past. And I found a case similar to the situation you imagined. Links: https://www.sootoday.com/local-news/19-year-old-says-not-a-drop-since-car-jacking-181388 and...

Perhaps it hadn't been dumb or illogical in DM and MS's eyes. Hindsight's 20/20. If DM and MS had not planned TB's death in advance, their spontaneous decision to hijack the truck and kill its owner still sounds dumb and illogical, especially after they revealed themselves to two other...

According to AC, Sharlene contacted TB at around 10:20, long after DM and MS tossed and/or turned off his cell phone. Feb 1 2016 3:16 PM She watched a show on PVR. At 10:20 p.m. she was alarmed because he hadn't come home yet. She called him and it went right to voice mail. Feb 1 2016 3:17 PM...

In my mind, there's a difference between cherry-picking (which is asking for trouble) and careful selection of evidence that strings together a well-substantiated argument. This goes for both the Crown and Defense. LE admitted that the trailer had not been properly secured. Experts attested to...

It's a valid possibility. But how long does a potential test drive usually take before the owner gets suspicious? They weren't driving for 30-40 minutes around the vicinity of Ancaster - it seemed they were heading north toward Brantford in the dark. I've a feeling TB was probably dead at this...
