I'm only beginning to read, very sorry if I'm interrupting or if this has been answered already. The official Court Reporter can transcribe the closing arguments, and it's up to the Court to decide whether a copy could be passed on to the media. Presumably, someone would have to pay the fees...

If the client buried the gun(s), if the client was a drug dealer supplied by Isho, who also sold guns, if the co-accused was being investigated for two other possible murders, if the client needs to get drugs and alcohol out of their system, in order to be reasonably coherent, then I can see a...

Thought I'd cut and paste Section 231 of the Canadian Criminal Code.... 231 (1) Murder is first degree murder or second degree murder. Marginal note:Planned and deliberate murder (2) Murder is first degree murder when it is planned and deliberate. Marginal note:Contracted...

.....was it just me who thought that was a Freudian slip of Sachak's tongue? It was a very strange thing to say I thought, since we've not heard anything about Mr. Bosma exiting the truck, that I recall. Perhaps my imagination is being carried away, into a magical forest filled with...

Oh God that's funny....

Justice Goodman is a very wise man, I have utmost respect for him and his handling of this case thus far.

I agree TD would not have gotten away doing this with CN or the other witnesses, but at the same time, they weren't the ones up on trial.

.....I totally agree with you. There's good reason for the right to remain silent.

During the lawyers' arguments surrounding the location of the bullet casing, I originally thought the same thing....both DM and MS were in the vehicle when the shooting occured. Having said that, the Crown does not need to prove who shot Mr. Bosma. So for the Crown, it doesn't really matter if...

I know it's been mentioned before, but this is not CN's trial. The Crown's goal is to get convictions against DM and MS, and it really wouldn't serve their purpose to make CN look bad. The Crown needed CN to help them in this trial. Same for the respective defence counsel. In truth, unless...

As I understand it, this was set up this way to prevent the rare instance where the accused gets off on a technicality of some sort, and so the accessory after the fact walks free too.

I believe the Crown had CN explain her method of note making. And everything would have been entered as an exhibit. The Crown wanted CN as a witness to get the notes in as evidence against Millard. The Crown would not want to attack her in examination-in-chief. What good would it do for...

Adam Carter, someone else mentioned "facts with no spin" which is why I like him. Anne Brocklehurst is top-notch, she 's the only one who published the Crown's Opening Statement that I could find. Web sleuths is great too, lots of smart people on board.

ThinKing out loud. .....Millard would have been permitted to make phone call (s) when taken into custody. Perhaps someone knows the procedures for that.

MM may have written about being abused when she was questioned by police and wrote her numerous statements. We've not seen those statements, but I believe the jury will have copies of everything. Yes, this is a case where the defendants are pointing at each other. But we still must keep in...
