What does a scary criminal look like?
Agreed, andreww. There was an initial feeling of satisfaction for me which faded away to uncover a deep emptiness and sadness. Now that the trial is over and justice has been served, we're left to face all the holes that were created -- not just for the Bosmas but for the family and friends of the convicted and the entire community that was shaken by these tragic events. Those "crooked trees", rather than being straightened, essentially had to be uprooted. It is incredibly sad in so many ways, and while difficult, I think it is important to recognize and embrace these feelings in order to move on and regrow.
ETA: Allowing anger, fear, and hatred to consume us is a great way to ensure that more saplings in our community grow up to be crooked and stunted. That's not the way to move forward, IMO.
It would not surprise me at all to learn that prosecutors were playing Halo when the game was first released. Playing killing video games is not an indication of deviant behaviour. Neither is dropping out of school in Grade 10. If Mark Smich dropped out of school in Grade 10 and wanted to move to Calgary, perhaps he (and so many others like him) wanted to get into the well paying construction trade - which required no education during the construction boom (that recently ended with drop in the price of oil).
Gun trafficking to the murderer(s)?
Think it's the first time it's happened? Or first time he was caught? I wonder how one gains experience in making a "dirty girl clean again"?
IMO, there wasn't a corner of Ontario where you could hide from this story.
I think the problem some sluethers having with MS, is because he was cleaning up his act, he was getting an education. We wanted to believe there could only be one DM out there. We developed a bit of pity, for a young guy who got caught up in DM s world. We want to believe there is good in him. But that was not who he was three years ago. Evidence shows that. He might have been well instructed by his lawyer what he needed to do to present a more innocent persona in court. Clearly it worked on a few. My mind changed on him, when he was on the stand, and his quick retorts to DMs lawyer disrespectful,mouthy at times. Showed his true colours. He was just a lot street smarter, to cover his tracks, lose the SIM cards. No fingerprints. Burn any evidence. Remember for his testimony to be true. Seven witnesses would have had to lie. And the phone pings had to be wrong. There is just too much evidence of his fore knowledge not to be 1st degree. The sad part is that he seemed clever, he could have made something of his life. He had a supportive family. Bad company, bad choices, and alcohol and drugs turned him into a criminal, and a convicted murderer. Waste of life. We all know he is up for charges in LB s murder. Wrong place wrong time again? Sad.
Ted Bundy?
He never held a real job, and he only lasted half a day with JV. IMO, he had no intention of starting over. Alberta did have an influx of drug dealers because the money was there. Not so much at the moment.
MOO
You must be joking. How many murders got committed from the guns he was pedaling? But you are correct...he isn't big and he isn't scary.....but he is a criminal.....and he did the crime and he gonna do the time. End of story for me. One less wannabee rappa off the street
Thank you! Now I get it. He wanted to move to Calgary to become a drug dealer to clients with a lot of disposable income.
Actually, I believe it was a real job that his sister had set up for him

Was that confirmed? MS is known to lie.
MOO
Totally agree. I hope he gets the maximum sentence (10 years?) if found guilty. I'd prefer if he were able to receive a life sentence to match DM and MS in that case.
What padawan braid?Well at least we know what the Padawan braid was all about now. It was a signal to Obiwan Rubikinks.
Highly doubt he wanted to go to Calgary to begin with but if he did I doubt it was to sell drugs. You need a source to get drugs so unless DM or MWJ were going to risk shipping stuff to him, I don't he had a source in Calgary. And you also need to know people to sell them drugs.Mmmm, not sure, however I know his intent to move to Calgary to pursue a career selling drugs to clients with a lot of disposable income definitely wasn't.
