Bosma Murder Trial 03.30.16 - Day 27

[loveisthemovement]

I'll be honest, I'm still at a total loss, but I've never been good at reading between the lines of which trucks were where, when, unless it's been explicitly spelled out or we've seen video.

And then the guy is dismissed? So weird....

 

[Velma]

Moodie is done. No questions from either defence. Reed is excused.
by Adam Carter 3:01 PM

The next witness is Craig Leishman.

He's a police officer with the Hamilton police service. In May 2013 he was in the vice and drug office.
by Adam Carter 3:03 PM

He's here to talk about a search warrant that was executed at Montrose Abbey Drive in Oakville on May 22, 2013.

Black and yellow toolbox was seized from an extremely untidy room full of clothing and garbage, according to Leishman

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 23s23 seconds ago
The room looks very messy. He says it's how it was found. Says there was clothing and "miscellaneous garbage." #Bosma

 

[paris_paris]

Maybe CN will clear up what the hose is all about?

 

[Velma]

On a second search, a black and yellow toolbox was seized from one of the rooms in that home, Leishman says. Court seeing a photo of that room, with clothes strewn everywhere.
by Adam Carter 3:11 PM

Court has previously heard one gunshot residue particle was found inside that toolbox.
by Adam Carter 3:12 PM

The toolbox itself is now being shown to the jury.
by Adam Carter 3:13 PM

 

[nitsirk]

So the tool box was inside the cardboard box, I'm guessing? Seems odd to me that the witness had to carry it in, even if he is LE.

I guess the Crown wanted the jury to see it up close. No idea why. JMO

It's amazing how many LE are involved and how they all have their individual roles in the collection, analysis and protection of evidence.

 

[Velma]

No cross examination. Leishman is excused.
by Adam Carter 3:14 PM

There are no more witnesses scheduled for today, so the jury is excused. That's all I'll be able to report.
by Adam Carter 3:15 PM

It will be a short week indeed, with the jury only sitting today and tomorrow (and today wasn't terribly eventful IMO)
