DM didn't want to sell it for its intended use, he only kept it to store his stolen vehicles.

Adam Carter states on a pinned post at the top of his Twitter page that Wayne was left handed. (Apparently he pinned it because he's asked that question multiple times a day.)

I understand how you feel but... serial killers rarely confess (that would mean giving up control and feeling remorse which most of them are incapable of). Most are psychopaths, they don't think and feel the way the rest of us do. I don't think DM is capable of caring for anyone but himself...

I don't think it's a CPAP mask - it doesn't look like any type I've ever seen and has no place for the hose to attach. (I use a CPAP machine every night myself and have worn different mask styles over the years). In the closeup it looks like a folded medical pad or a folded towel.

Here is a link for someone who served on a jury recently here in Toronto Canada, only a year ago (the same courthouse that I was). At least they have wifi now, when I was there, they was absolutely nothing in the panel room (no cubicles then). Most women brought books or knitting and a lot of...

Sorry Websleuths is acting up for me. Not in any no media coverage trial I know of locally (in Toronto) unless it has changed recently. They seem to leave it up to the potential juror entirely. BTW, the trial I was on, they had to pick a a second jury (the one I served on was the 2nd) because...

Actually for low profile trials (no media coverage), you usually are not asked if you could be impartial. Neither my husband and I were ever asked, nor was anyone in our trials. I did ask if my doctor at the time would be a witness and explained that I knew she served on a local sexual assault...

If you get called and are chosen, you usually have no choice whether or not you serve on a jury. (They will make exceptions for trials that are expected to be lengthy or have very gruesome evidence. As well, they will make exceptions for nursing moms, caregivers of people with disabilities or...

Adam Carter's article about the testimony about the shooting reconstruction. It also includes a video showing these tests with the gun and pillow (about halfway through the article). Crime scene reconstructionist tells trial he doesn't believe Wayne Millard shot himself | CBC News

Interesting. He hasn't been on the stand yet, I imagine his lawyer would advise against it (opens him up to cross examination and he probably would not present well on the stand as shown by his court roon behaviour.)

Actually there's quite a bit of debate about that. Dr. Robert Hare (who is probably the best known authority on psychopathy) thinks it's both. He says some people are more inclined to pyschopathy. He says if they have a stable upbringing they are more likely to become nonviolent psychopaths (con...

As well, DM tried to use his uncle's profession as a vet to fashion an alibi about starting an animal cremation business. His uncle has probably had years of dealing with DM, knows him well and I get the sense that he tried to alert his sister and brother-in-law about DM (his allusion in today's...

I checked Adam Carter's tweets and that cabbie was from City Taxi at 6:11 am. (The second cab, the one from Toronto.) The earlier one from near MS' house was Oakville Taxi at 1 am).

Does anyone know if the crown and defense will make closing statements or is that only used for trials with a jury?

Does anyone else find it touching that his uncle stopped to give Laura's mother a long hug as he was leaving the courtroom? (and not surprising that he did not make eye contact with his nephew)
