Sorry folks I was supposed to be there and provide updates, but unfortunately I couldn't attend today.

She doesn't likely have anything to offer. She may become more of a player in the trial for his father's murder since she was at the home when police were called regarding the death - an alleged suicide, at the time.
I recall from the first trial that Smich was physically ill on the first mission to steal the truck. I always wonder if he was sickened by the thought of reliving what he had already lived through with LB?
Honestly, I don't know why Smich's attorneys didn't cut a deal with him to flip on Millard for all three murders at the time? Doesn't seem implausible that he could have walked away with 25 years and maybe early parole?
I agree. But Millard seemed to be lacking in the close friend department as well. ... There just didn't seem to be any lifelong friends.
I wonder a lot about Laura.
What she could have been? What would she be doing today had her life not been cut short? Her friends miss her, and miss her bubbly personality, her zest for life and her smile.
I think Laura was a sweet vulnerable girl that, through mental illness and addiction, made poor decisions but kept on trying.
She was trying to get help. She was seeing Doctors. Laura was in pain and trying to find a way to ease it.
But she had a "friend" who gave her pills for her Birthday. A "friend" who by all appearances used her and lied to her. A "friend", who in the end, thought nothing of her, so he killed her and cremated her in an animal incinerator. And a guy wrote a rap song about it all that was totally disgusting, and void of any human emotion, other than joy at what had been done, or what HE had done.
I think a lot about Laura and the terrible fate that befell her. Just imagine, being wrapped up in a rug, lying there dead and possibly thrown in a barn for a couple weeks until the guy who killed you stopped by every now and then for a "smell check". And when the time was right he cremated you and that was that.
LE didn't think Laura was worthy of being looked for. They didn't care. Laura was just one of many missing, addicted, mentally ill people wandering the streets of Toronto.
I spend a lot of time these days thinking about Laura.
I wonder if someone with a boat on the Lake went for a ride with DM et al on an undisclosed 'stealth mission?'
Didn't he used to like to rent out yachts in various locations? I'm still a little confused as to whether this witness today was implying that MS told him the phone AND the cremains were tossed in the lake or just the phone.
MOO
An Ontario man accused of murdering a young Toronto woman whose body has never been found confessed to burning “a girl” and tossing her in a lake, a witness told court on Wednesday.
Desi Liberatore said he was smoking weed and drinking peach schnapps with Mark Smich and a couple of friends in 2012, when Smich began rapping about “torching a body.”
Smich then asked his girlfriend to leave the garage at his mother’s home in Oakville, Ont., Liberatore said, and once she left, Smich told his friends that he did, in fact, burn a girl and dump her body and a cellphone in a lake.
“We burned a girl and threw her in the lake. We killed someone,” Liberatore said Smich told him.
“Did he say he killed somebody?” Crown lawyer Jill Cameron asked Liberatore.
“I don’t think he said it exactly like that,” Liberatore said. “He said ‘we burned a body and threw it in the lake.’”
I always wondered how they found out about Smich , i did not think DM volunteered the information. So much was not allowed to be told. On one group a few people argued the rap songs he sang were just art expression. I did not think they were. I did believe that he was used by DM but now I don't think he was, just as willing to commit the murders as DM.
