Pillay asking questions about the incinerator - he asks if the trailer and the incinerator is "one unit." Huys says yes.

Pillay asks if The Eliminator is welded to the trailer, Huys says she doesn't know.

BBM - like what is that? Attention seeking? "look at me!!" - no remorse, so selfish he can't even see past himself and his needs. He is a psychopath for sure. IMO.

It is starting to seem like he is taking pleasure from making people uncomfortable or seeing them upset and smiling all the while.

Eliminator is chained to trailer it sits on.

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 5s5 seconds ago Hamilton, Ontario
Millard's lawyer calls the machine 'the incinerator.' Sgt Huys calls it The Eliminator #Bosma

Yeah, I bet they don't like that name. Reminds the jury of what their clients actually did.

Pillay asking about the licence plate on the trailer. "You can see that those two bolts could easily be removed and the licence plates taken off?" he asks. Huys says she doesn't know. The card that has the device name and the serial number now being shown in court. "It appears that you could remove that with two bolts, from what I can see?" Pillay says. "If you had a tool or something," Huys says.

Dungey just asks about the distance from the barn to the incinerator. That's all for cross.

I truly believe the only reason he pleaded not guilty is he is enjoying the story of that night being retold to the Bosma family and friends.

License plate attached to trailer by two bolts. Pillay suggests it could easily be removed. So too could Eliminator nameplate. #Bosma

Pillay highlights license plate on trailer. Notes there are just 2 bolts holding it on, could easily be removed. #Bosma

During evidence yesterday, we saw a pic of Dr. Rogers inside the Eliminator. She climbed in to pull out bone fragments and ash. #Bosma

Rogers' CV is 25 pages. She's the director of the forensics program at U of T.
Adam Carter

Feb 18 2016 10:37 AM
She consults on an as needed basis with police investigations.
Adam Carter

Feb 18 2016 10:38 AM
One of her interests on her CV is "expert witnessing." Rogers has done this a lot.
Adam Carter

 

[DeepWoodsOff]

So..."the licence plate could be removed with a tool if you had one." More of the "my client was framed" stuff. So we are either dealing with two of the worst criminals of all-time or a criminal genius that was able to plant incredible volumes of evidence against these two INCLUDING cell phone data. I can't wait to hear how he snuck that incinerator receipt into DM's Yukon. MOO

Haven't followed a lot of murder trials tweet by tweet, but a question to the WS vet's- is the cross examination usually so "out there" almost random? I'm just always surprised at the questions DM's D asks? I can understand Dungey's, but DM's confuses the heck out me! MOO

In cross of Huys, Millard lawyer makes point licence plate cd have been removed. serial number, incinerator description too #timbosma trial

***Okay so ABro makes that cross clearer. RP was suggesting that someone could have altered or disguised the incinerator but didn't. You know, because it's all out in the open.

By examining bones, Rogers is able to determine gender and age at time of death. @CHCHNews #Bosma

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 34s35 seconds ago
She does recovery of skeletal remains. Her research involves determining sex, age at death.

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 5s5 seconds ago Hamilton, Ontario
Dr. Rogers started a technique that allows scientists to determine between the gender of a skeleton. #Bosma

 

[Kamille]

Feb 18 2016 10:39 AM
Her research experience also includes assessing the sex of skeletal remains, and determining how old someone was when they died.

Going through her CV. Technique she developed in 1999 to use humerus and elbow to determine sex.

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 7s7 seconds ago Hamilton, Ontario
She is able to characterize the sex of bones through analysis, 92 per cent accurate #Bosma

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 18s18 seconds ago Hamilton, Ontario
She published a paper in 1999 about her theory. Since then it's been tested around the world. #Bosma
