I went back and read through the tweets from MH, SC and AC. MH didn't specify dates and SC said it was "the week of" May 6th that MS blew past him and "the next day" told him he had *advertiser censored**d up. AC had no date in his tweets, only on his live blog. So I guess it's another one of those things that we have to choose which reporter to believe. I do find it hard to believe that Daly knew the exact date that happened though. He didn't seem to know what date anything happened and, when Dungey suggested things were pretty hazy, he said "This whole train of events is just kind of jammed together."
I believe that DM met MS at the apartment on the 10th, but MS had texted him to tell him that he was around the corner.
The fact that you see them on AC's live blog, but yet not on AC's tweets, tells us that we are obviously not getting all of the info via tweets. This is the very same person doing both, and both at the same time too, and yet he mentions on one of them - live-, while on the other one, also live, he doesn't mention, but yet he doesn't pull stuff out of nowhere to put on the one and not the other. I seriously don't know how the man does it. He deserves one huge raise when this is wrapped up, imho. It appears that perhaps dates were not mentioned in the Crown's questions.. but I don't believe Crown can do leading questions on their own witness anyway. The dates were in fact mentioned by both defence lawyers during cross. I can surmise from that, that BD must have had the dates in his statement, which was done way back 3 years ago, which could explain why BD didn't offer them up on his own during his examination in chief by the Crown, otherwise both defence lawyers wouldn't have had those dates, or have used the same dates as one another. moo.
Everyone is of course entitled to believe what they want, but there certainly is no proof as far as I can see, that the date was May 10th when MS first told BD that he f'd up, while there does seem to be some kind of proof that he did say it at the beginning of the week. It was noted at the time by at least one of the journos that it was confusing testimony all around during BD's testimony.. whether that was due to the bouncing around of questions relating to different time periods, or whether BD was getting the events of different time periods mixed up, but yet not mixed up on his police statement 3 years ago, or if the Crown was getting BD's events mixed up on different dates, one can only guess.In any event, my belief, after looking specifically into what has been reported at the time of testimony, is that it was the 7th, because to me, in addition to the testimony, everything else also fits.. the being dropped off by DM in the yukon, the cell records confirm that DM was dropping him off, we have testimony that he and Marlena were being dropped off, BD said himself that Marlena came 'back' to give him the weed, the being told to scram, the being together also the following day, when we already know that MS and DM had not gotten together, the fact DM wasn't yet arrested, BD questioning MS as to why he rushed past him on the one day and the answer MS gave him.. all of it makes sense for me. To me, it sounds like MS was perhaps the only one thinking seriously on what had just occurred... trying to keep BD away, not wanting to have him involved, feeling scared that he and DM would be watched, and here he was dealing drugs, etc. Meanwhile, DM sounds like he has lost it, ie, la-dee-da, Ima have a nice bath now that phase 1 of mission digestion is complete, then a nice nap is in order, to feel nice and refreshed. Those are just my impressions, and I think they're good ones, based on what we have as evidence. moo
Similar to what one of our WS members posted about what the judge had said on Friday about the 2 dogs and the empty food bowls... none of that got tweeted either completely missed by all of them. We are seriously missing much more than anyone knows. Some may be relevant, some may not be, we will never know unless someone tells us word for word, *every* word. Tweeting is wonderful for an at-the-moment, by-the-moment playback, but it is not good for getting all the testimony and/or facts recorded. If I owned The Spec, I would have a tweeter tweeting live AND a reporter who can accurate do shorthand on hand to get the entire scoop of what is said, and then have one tweet throughout the day and perhaps do regular opinion pieces, and the other taking really thorough notes and writing a comprehensive and unbiased news article at the end of each day. Why have 2 tweeters from the same publication if then we can't rely on either one of them to have reported accurately, in the event they tweet different things or have one omit one thing and the other insert another thing that the other omitted? Unfortunately I don't own The Spec.
PS Why was DM meeting MS at the apartment on the 10th, in the theory mentioned above, if MS hadn't moved into the apartment until after DM's arrest?
