Millard cancels May 7 meeting, rescheduled for May 8. Hussey sees "in plain view" a truck on a tarp in hangar.

Sachak again points out that the Bosma truck was "in plain view" at the MillardAir hangar. #TimBosma #Bosma

 

[Bsafe]

How is this allowed?? Isn't this influencing the witness or something like that?

MOO

Sachak says Millard bought the excavator "even though business was slow."

Mar 10 2016 3:05 PM
"You're probably saying 'Jesus Christ,' this guy buys the excavator, blows the engine, and then has the money to buy another engine. Good guy to go into business with," Sachak says.

 

[Sphinx]

How can the D put words in the witnesses mouth? Very curious.

I am surprised to hear Sachak swear in court -- very unprofessional in my opinion.

#TimBosma truck was plainly visible when Hussey went to hangar May 8. #Millard looked like he hadn't slept in days.

"You concluded that this guy was awake for at least a couple of nights?" Sachak says about Millard on May 8. #TimBosma #Bosma

I am surprised to hear Sachak swear in court -- very unprofessional in my opinion.

He's probably getting frustrated, grasping at straws as it is.

Shlatman told Hussey that Millard bought truck in Kitchener to save fuel costs. Millard's dishevelled appearance? Said it was long weekend.

Adam Carter ‏@AdamCarterCBC now
By May 10, the truck was gone -- but Hussey didn't ask about it. #TimBosma #Bosma

Adam Carter ‏@AdamCarterCBC 36s36 seconds ago
He says he didn't know about the Bosma investigation at that time. "I wish I had been." #TimBosma #Bosma

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 18s18 seconds ago
Hussey says again he hadn't watched news and didn't know about #Bosma disappearance when he saw truck in hangar. "I wish I had," he says.

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 18s18 seconds ago
May 10, 2013, Hussey still knew nothing of #TimBosma disappearance, "I wish I had."

Please don't post retweet questions/comments made to the reporters. Only posts with reporters' actual trial tweets are allowed. Otherwise it causes confusion here with members thinking it is the reporter making certain statements, when in fact it is a question or comment to the reporter.

No? It doesn't seem like he had a lot of other skills.

I was thinking he was under qualified to clean bathrooms.

Court back in session now.
by Adam Carter 3:36 PM

Sachak now going through all the things that were inside the hangar (ie cars, tools and a fuel truck) that were worth a significant amount of money. "You're talking about well over a million dollars in supplies," Sachak says.
by Adam Carter 3:37 PM

Sachak is doing all this in an attempt to hammer home that Millard had money -- or at least property that was worth quite a lot.
by Adam Carter 3:38 PM

Sachak now going through the texts between Millard and Hussey that were entered into evidence a little while ago. These are business related texts.
by Adam Carter 3:41 PM

"We've heard Mr. Bosma was killed sometime on May 6 late at night, but we've got Dell texting you about a meeting on May 7," Sachak says. That meeting didn't happen.
by Adam Carter 3:43 PM

Sachak again points out that the Bosma truck was "in plain view" at the MillardAir hangar.
by Adam Carter 3:47 PM

"You concluded that this guy was awake for at least a couple of nights?" Sachak says about Millard looking "disheveled" on May 8. Hussey says yes.

"Anyone who went into that hangar will see the Bosma truck," Sachak says. Hussey agrees.
by Adam Carter 3:48 PM

There was another meeting on May 10 about the new FBO, Sachak says, with multiple people there. There was a tour of the hangar at that time, Hussey says.
by Adam Carter 3:49 PM

"I was showing them the facility," Hussey says.
by Adam Carter 3:50 PM

Sachak says the people he was showing the hangar to "were impressed."

I thought his choice of words were very inappropriate. To TB's family and perhaps even a Juror or two, that would have been offensive, but for some reason, I don't believe DM's team cares about being sensitive to TB's family in the least.

So do judges permit lawyers to swear in their courtrooms, if they are not quoting evidence ? I thought our Canadian standards were higher than that -- very disappointed in the judge. IMO

Smich was doing odd jobs at hangar, painting and cleaning washrooms. Smich girlfriend Marlena Meneses painted and cleaned there as well.

Marlena Meneses, #Smich girlfriend, sometimes worked with him at the hangar #TimBosma

Re-exam by Crown. Millard on afternoon of May 10 said anyone coming into biz with him had to put up $5,000.

Witness is excused.

Crown now reexamining. Hussey says operations had effectively shut down in 2013, and that's why he ws let go.
by Adam Carter 3:59 PM

Originally Millard was going to fund the FBO, Hussey says, but then that changed. "He insisted that anybody stepping in to the company from the ground invest $5,000."

"That's because you had an ambition -- and that ambition was to have your own company," Sachak says. Hussey says yes. Sachak says the situation would have been advantageous for him because Millard could kick in some cash. Again, Hussey says yes.

Mar 10 2016 2:58 PM
"You concluded he could invest some funds," Sachak says. "That's correct," Hussey says.

BBM

IMO, the use of the word "ambition" by Sackak, as in DM's tattoo, was a calculated reference and used to tie in DM's own ambition by way of connecting it to SH's interest in starting a business with DM, IMO.

Maybe it's just my perception and I could be wrong, but I will never be able to hear that word again without associating it DM. :scared:

All MOO.
