"We look pretty ridiculous don't we," #Millard asks, and Shirinian agrees. #Millard dyed his hair on #Babcock's birthday.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Did you see if I gave Laura a pill? Two pills? "On her birthday? No," Shirinian replies to #Millard.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
#Millard's house was a "weed-smoking hotspot," he says, and repeats for the judge. Wants to talk about MDMA

Shannon Martin‏ @ShannonMartinTV
Millard shows a photo of him and another friend, Andrew Michalski (will confirm spelling). Friend has blue mohawk. Millard has a pink one.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
"Makes you happy," Shirinian says of the drug. You take it orally, she says. It was common in their circle, "later on, I'd say," she says

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Marijuana was ubiquitous, #Millard says, and Shirinian agrees. He wasn't the only source of MDMA at parties was he? She's not sure
 
Shannon Martin
Millard asks the witness if she's used MDMA. She has.

He's talking about the group's marijuana use. He says his home at Maple Gate was a "weed smoking place." She agrees.

Millard says "we've been hearing alot of parties at my place. But to be fair there are lots of parties having everyone."

Shirinian: I'm sure there's a party happening right now.


Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
"To be fair, there's a lot of parties at other people's houses and bars, right?" Shirinian is sure one is going on somewhere right now

marianne boucher‏ @CityCourtsTO
Millard now talking about his "wing man" Andrew. A photo of the two men who have blue and pink hair is shown to the jury.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
But other parties among the friends of that era. It was just "more common" to party at #Millard's house, she says.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
She got MDMA directly from #Millard once, as far as Shirinian recalls
 
Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Back to the gifts Millard had given Christina. Jewellery and trips. Shirinian can't think of anything else.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
#Millard did "big things for other ppl" he says, but Shirinian can't really remember. #Millard owned a lot of properties, didn't he?

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
"Did you know I owned a farm? Had property at an airport?" Shirinian did know these details about #Millard.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
#Millard puts up another photo -- the airplane hangar according to Shirinian. She believes the same where she met #Millard

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
The car on the left looked like #Millards. He laughs. The car can be moved, he tells her. What does she think about the hangar doors?


Shannon Martin
Millard once again asks Shirinian about gifts he bought for Noudga. She remembers he took her on a couple of trips, to Jamaica and the British Isles.

He lists all of his properties, a condo downtown, a home at Maple Gate, an airport hangar, a couple other properties.

Shirinian says she never asked to see any of the deeds to the properties to confirm he was the owner.
 
What is the point of his questions ? I don't get it, to make it clear that he was with others while with CN? It sounds like there was a lot of friction between CN and Laura. Big sordid mess and Laura ends up dead.
 
what is the point of all this dating talk...DM just wants to relive his glory days.

I wonder if there are missing women, escorts, who may have taken an ill fated boat ride with DM.

"Honestly, when I was there I was socializing. I wasn't looking around much," Shirinian says of #Millard's airplane hangar

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
There were a lot of people there. Several hundred, #Millard says. Does Shirinian remember the date? Around Easter, she thinks.

marianne boucher‏ @CityCourtsTO
Millard talking about his house parties dope, MDMA. Shows photo of an airport hangar w a plane ,boats, cars and a band.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
2009-2010 Shirinian was in Gr 12 so she thinks that's when the hangar party was. She had given up fast food for lent.

Looks like he's trying to establish reasonable doubt about his relationship with CN. Wasn't exclusive - attracted lots of women because of his "well known" wealth. Crowns case is based on a "love" triangle.. DM is trying to establish that there would have been no triangle.
 
Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
One of Noudga's birthday parties, #Millard didn't show up. It was in 2012? No 2013. "It was her 21st birthday you didn't show up for."


Shannon Martin
Millard asking Shirinian about Noudga's birthday. He didn't show up to her birthday in April 2013. They were still dating.

Shirinian says at the time Millard said he "wasn't feeling downtown. Even though you lived downtown."


Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
"You weren't feeling it," Shirinian says with a crinkled nose. "She told me you weren't feeling downtown. Even though you lived downtown."

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
#Millard again asks if he was a bad boyfriend. Sleeping with others, not showing up for birthdays, not buying gifts despite wealth.

 
he is just making it worse for himself, obviously he killed her for the thrill and because he could.
 
Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Millard seems to have a tail growing out of the side of his head. Braided maybe?

Shannon Martin‏ @ShannonMartinTV
Millard asks if he was thoughtful or caring towards Noudga. Shirinian says he wasn't.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
It wasn't until early 2012 that Shirinian noticed #Babcock talking about shady people, she says.


Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?
 
Shannon Martin
Millard takes his questioning back to Babcock. He's asking Shirinian to take a look at statements she gave to the police.

At the time, she mentioned "sketchy people" in Babcock's life.

Shirinian agrees there was sketchy people, but only in the final months before she disappeared.

Millard asks about Babcock and self harm. Shirinian knew she banged her head against a wall and cut herself.
 
Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Shirinian knew #Babcock was having mental health issues, that "she banged her head against the wall and cut herself," she tells #Millard

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
She agrees Andrew Michelski is #Millard's best friend. They dyed their hair together. Shirinian has also met Mark #Smich

marianne boucher‏ @CityCourtsTO
Millard: Did Laura know enough sketchy ppl to get herself in trouble?
Shirinian: Yes near the end, before she went missing. July 1st.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
She didn't really see #Smich until about a year before #Babcock went missing. She wasn't really hanging out with #Millard then though
 
During the TB trial, Noudga made it seem like she only suspected DM was cheating on her. These folks lie without effort.
 
Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Does Shirinian remember how she got to #Millard's house? He probably picked up her & Noudga. Michelski drove them home, she thinks possible

Shannon Martin
Millard asking Shirinian about Smich. She didn't know too much about him.

Millard is now back to the party at the airport hangar where he met Shirinian for the first time. He's moving all over the place with his questioning.


Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Michelski used one of #Millard's jeeps so clearly he was ok with lending his vehicle to Michelski, he says. Shirinian agrees.

Shannon Martin‏ @ShannonMartinTV
Millard now back to the party at the airport hangar where he met Shirinian for 1st time. He's all over the place with his questioning.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
"Laura told you about this new line of work, prostitution?" Escorting, Shirinian corrects. #Babcock made $250 an hour? so she was told
 
Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
#Babcock wanted Shirinian to help start her business, "that could have meant a number of things," Shirinian says she wasn't interested


Shannon Martin
Millard, "Laura told you about this new profession she was in. Prostitution."

Shirinian says he it was escorting.

Millard says Babcock was interested in starting her own business. Shirinian says they didn't discuss it further than that. Babcock hadn't been into escorting for long.


Shannon Martin‏ @ShannonMartinTV
Millard, "Laura told you about this new profession she was in. Prostitution." Shirinian says it was escorting.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
As far as you could tell, Laura was not actually suicidal, but she would use that, #Millard asks. "She liked attention," Shirinian agrees

 
Shannon Martin
Millard asks Shirinian about something she earlier testified: Babcock was not suicidal.

Millard says Babcock was manipulative, would blackmail people, about things she was obsessing about. "She would do anything to get what she wanted."

Shirinian agrees "when she was off her meds."


Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Whatever #Babcock obsessed about wasn't always rational, but "she'd be upset about it for awhile," Shirinian says.

Shannon Martin‏ @ShannonMartinTV
Millard says Babcock was manipulative, would blackmail people. "She would do anything to get what she wanted."

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Laura #Babcock didn't seem especially bothered by the sex trade business, Shirinian agrees. Other ppl would be embarrassed, #Millard says

Shannon Martin‏ @ShannonMartinTV
Shirinian agrees "when she was off her meds."

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
She was reckless with herself in the way she went about this line of work, wasn't she, #Millard asks. "She was trusting," Shirinian says

 
Shannon Martin
Millard goes back to escorting. Says Babcock was not embarrassed about it. She was reckless.

Shirinian says "She was overly trusting."

Millard says the last time Shirinian talked with Babcock, she was meeting up with two guys. Shirinian said Babcock "said she was meeting up with two guys to talk about a business opportunity and she wanted me to come along." Shirinian wasn't interested and didn't go.


marianne boucher‏ @CityCourtsTO
Millard: She wasn't scared of this new line of work , sex trade or escorting. She was reckless?
Shirinian: She was over trusting.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Millard wants to know more about the two guys #Babcock was meeting about opening up her own escort business, July 1 at ribfest

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Karoline there's been a lot of news about myself, and Mr Smich, Christina, Mr Michelski.... #Millard says. Wonders if news affected Karoline

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
"If you personally know the person being written about, you can form your own opinion," Shirinian says she hasn't been affected by the news

 
I feel this trial is going to be similar to the TB trial in that all these attempts by the defense at the beginning to offer a possible alternative story will be quickly forgotten once the forensic experts and hard evidence is presented.

Straight to indictment facts will be presented soon. IMO
 
marianne boucher‏ @CityCourtsTO
Millard: There has been a lot news coverage on this.Has your judgement been changed by this?
Shirinain: No I knew u before u were arrested.


(First she gets up on the stand and says she wasn't good friends with DM and didn't know a lot about him and then...?)

Shannon Martin
Millard asks if she's been influenced by media reports on him, Smich, Noudga, etc. She says not if she knows the person directly. She says she hasn't been influenced.

Millard asks Shirinian about the first time they met. He says he made a pass at her.

Shirinian says "You said something inappropriate, but you were always saying things that were inappropriate."

Millard, "Obviously nothing's ever happened between us?"
Shirinian, "Obviously."


Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews
Late 2010 #Babcock was seeing Lerner. #Millard made a pass at Shirinian. She would say he said something inappropriate, which was normal
