I agree that at this point there is little evidence against Smich. I think that video of the two of them firing up the eliminator is going to be the piece of evidence that ties all the smaller pieces together. The video puts him with Millard immediately after the crime. His cell phone records put him with Millard all evening.

Dungey: if the driver shoots Mr. Bosma and window is smashed, could it go to theory driver is shooter? Suggests bullet through neck.[/B]
I've been struggling with the whole window thing. My instincts are telling me that it was broken after the fact, maybe when they were stripping the seats etc. from inside the vehicle. No way they would have been able to clean blood off of that window after it had been shot like that. MOO
Reading your comment made me think of something. Aren't we just assuming the window was rolled up when he was allegedly shot? What if it was partially rolled down? They could have removed the piece that was sticking up while removing the car seats, carpet, etc. The glass that had blood spatter on it could have been burned / thrown out.
ETA: They also may not have been able to roll the window up in order to remove it all because it was stuck.
Lots of questions about the window. Personally, I think they pulled as much of the window as they could out of frame while on the road that night and the rest was either rolled down or perhaps was already rolled down? Is it possible that the window was slightly open when they were on the test drive? And after it shattered, it would not roll up or down so they just pulled or pushed as much of the rest of it out of the window frame as they could? All the glass was attached to a tint film so this would not have made the glass go all over the place.
I was looking at the cell phone exhibit over the weekend. One thing that stood out to me was the fact that DM's phone pinged off the Rogers tower closest to Kemira Water Solutions on Oak Park at 9:44pm. At 10:02pm, TB's phone powered down and was found there. They had to have stopped there for at least 15 minutes to do something, which also resulted in the phone being tossed over the fence. Perhaps this was when they may have been removing the shattered glass? And they could have pushed it all into the truck instead of outside of the truck which would explain why none was found in any obvious locations?
MOO
Yes, you would certain think so. I think it's pretty obvious at this point (to the jury) that these two were with Tim in that truck. In that I think the Crown has already provided reasonable evidence of it.
I'm no defense lawyer but it would seem the best they can do is just point fingers at each other now?
Tossed it into the bed of the truck and later dumped it into the fire while burning the front seats from Tim's truck?
The glass? I was thinking they pushed it back into the passenger side of the truck and there may have been some on the seat when they burned it. I believe some glass was found in the burn area? Have we seen any evidence pictures of everything found in this area? Has the jury? :waitasec:
MOO
To me, if I was a juror, I would take the finger pointing as an admission that each is saying yes my client was there but the other guy did it. This to me makes is seem like the line of questioning is implicating each of the accused I would as a juror be even more inclined to find BOTH guilty of 1st degree murder.

Agrees it's possible for a casing "to go flying to the back."

#Smich lawyer Dungey now q's about why expert didn't make a note when he noticed the gun casing. Says his job was blood spatter analysis
I have a feeling that the glass shattered but stayed in a sheet. Safety glass does this, and if Tims truck had tinted windows, it definitely wouldn't break. I think that is why they drove off in to the countryside, to dispose of the glass. Then they came back and were videotaped along the logical route.

what about all the Kleinburg neighbors..3 other truck owners, paint shop guy..2 people that found Tim's phone
http://www.annrbrocklehurst.com/2016/02/dispatches-from-the-tim-bosma-murder-trial-day-three.htmlClark Kingswood was witness number five. He had been working as a contractor at the Brantford company Kemira, mowing the lawn when he discovered a cellphone by its fence. “It was covered with a bit of dirt and a bird dropping as well,” he told the court. “It would have interfered with lawn cutting so I stopped the lawn mower.”
When he’d finished his work, he handed the phone over to Liz Rozwell, who was then the production manager at the company. “I cleaned it up,” she explained. Then, since she wasn’t familiar with Samsung phones, she got someone to help her plug it in and turn it on. “There was a whole bunch of dinging.”
WOW! A lot of blood found in the bed of TB's truck and also on the front passenger side fender. Perhaps you're right Kamille. When they pulled over near Kemira for approximately 15 minutes, the perps did some moving and clean up. Looks like they transferred TB to the bed of his truck doesn't it? All that blood. MOO.
