Bosma Murder Trial 03.21.16 - Day 24

[EspressoBean]

And yet AJ claims he used to go over to SS's home and have breakfast with the kids before the two of them went to work. Most days arriving around 9am or later it seems. :waitasec:

MOO

I can't remember the exact testimony but did AJ say the two of them went to work. I know he said he liked to go see his grandkids but I can't remember if he specifically said they went to work together or that he spent time with this SIL those mornings.

[CJPRINCESS]

I do think it was likely September before the incinerator was mobile and left the hangar though. It was probably once they got it up onto the trailer, after it was built, that the video of it driving around in the hangar in Sept 2012 was made. And then after that it was driven to the farm and stayed there. You'll notice from the still shot of that video that it also had a generator on the trailer. So how does that fit in to the LB situation?

MOO

Wonder if that's where the home built incinerator idea came from. A half burnt body wouldn't decompose as bad as a non burnt body? Then the Eliminator was purchased, moved to farm (with generator on it) MB was finished being burnt then?
The homemade incinerator wouldn't get as hot as the bought one. The bought ones are thickly insulated to keep the heat in to burn. The steel barrels would get hot but not hot enough to burn bones.
All speculation of course.
