Why are they not admissible against Millard???
From what I saw on the hangar video, MS only momentarily looked over his shoulder to see Pedo who followed them seconds later.
All MOO.
Yes. Typo - texts were between DM and MWJ...so MS cannot speculate on. IMO crown should have entered these as evidence, but earlier in the trial. Perhaps DM lawyers successfully argued against them...What is not admissible? Texts between MS and MWJ are not admissible if they are asking MS to interpret, because it is hearsay.
I really cant at this point, Fraser cross seems like were going in circles...same questions but with more emotion.
Oh boy...."tomorrow it's fireworks" means actual fireworks, according to Smich.

Maybe started out as fantasy, but they put it into action. Who knows how far they went with it.
James Van Allen, former head of the OPP's criminal profiling unit, believes whoever is responsible had murder in mind from the get-go.
"This could have been a standard carjacking: overpower him, leave him," said Van Allen, who heads the Behavioural Sciences Group in Langley, B.C.
"But we see a determination here to not be detected, to delay discovery or identification of the body. When Mr. Bosma went for the test drive, he was
a marked man." He added that the killer is someone who is exploitive, abusive, lacks any empathy and is a risk-taker.
The murder deviates from what is typically seen in the car theft racket, he said, where excessive violence is not the norm.
"This is too elaborate to steal one truck; to have these allegations of multiple people involved, multiple attempts to access a truck."
What doesn't add up, he said, is why anyone would murder for a truck. And "is the crime incongruent with the person charged?"
The profiler also pointed out that simply because someone has an education and money, it doesn't mean they aren't capable of heinous acts.
"It's not uncommon for allegedly smart people to be caught by police for crimes like this. They think they are smart enough to commit a crime but
don't have the skills to avoid detection. There is often overconfidence there. And there can be risk gratification involved as well."
Whoever murdered Tim Bosma, burned his body and left the remains in the area clearly was trying to cover his tracks, but the attempt was poorly
conceived. "It was a plan, but not a great plan," said Van Allen. "It displays overconfidence and inexperience. This is someone who thinks a half-hearted
effort is enough — someone not accounting for the lengths to which police will go to solve this crime."

Fraser asks, if Igor's truck goes missing, "what is the first thing he says? It was those two guys who were in my truck." #Bosma

Smich argues he wouldn't have necessarily known it was them, they wouldn't have necessarily gone back the same day to steal it. #Bosma
This comment negates and discredits MS's explanation for bringing extra clothes.
