So, MS is a drug dealer and it was his gun that killed TB and he knew he '****ed up' and started trying to go underground. To me this has been the most enlightening and interesting day of testimony so far, it's all starting to make sense now.
MS brought his gun with him on the test drive. If DM had also brought his gun, which we are now hearing was bigger, where would he have hid it when he walked up? He didn't have his man-purse on him at that time or SB and the tenant would have noticed (even in the city, a man wearing a purse is unusual enough to really stand out), and he was wearing a tee shirt, so a holster would have also totally have stood out as well. Even tucking a weapon into the waist of his jeans wouldn't have worked with just a tee shirt to hang over it, plus he wouldn't have been able to sit down in the truck like that. It makes sense that he isn't the one who brought a gun.
So it was MS who brought his gun in his hoodie. It would explain why he hid his face and hands as completely as he could from all the witnesses, and why he was wearing a giant sweatshirt on a night warm enough for a tee shirt. If he was also wearing gloves, it would explain why his fingerprints were never found, and show he had premeditated the murder. Having a gun when DM didn't have one on him would explain to me why DM felt the need to help MS clean up after himself, even why DM is walking in front of MS at the hanger.
In my opinion, if DM had planned the murder, he never would have brought his dog along, it's too much of a wild card and a liability. He could have left MS in the Yukon with Pedo, but I think maybe MS insisted on coming along, with his own plans in mind.
I have no idea how, but I think DM must have gotten MS's gun off of him somehow, perhaps convincing him that he would get rid of it for him. But I think DM locked up the gun and tried to keep it safe, not just from the hands of his murdering friend, but also to have as evidence to show whose fingerprints were on it, as a means to prove his innocence later. Why else would MS be so desperate to retrieve it and dispose of it? If he thought DM had already taken care of it for him, he wouldn't have needed to get it back, but if he thought DM was holding it because it incriminated MS, MS had good reason to want it back. MS knew he had "****ed up", perhaps that was one of the things he was worried about, he had messed up by giving the murder weapon to someone who could use it as leverage against him to get out of jail.
And for what it's worth, I see no remorse in the statement that he "****ed up, man". That is an expression of self pity and nothing more. DM sharing that he felt bad for what TB's family was going through seemed to be more likely to be remorse, that wasn't self pity, he was expressing sadness for others. Psychos don't usually have the capacity for sympathy and empathy, that's one of the things that makes them psychos. That could be why DM is smiling and waving and giving MS the cut-eye in court, maybe he's not a psycho but perhaps he has some belief that the truth will come out and that justice will be served, and that is a relief to him. He still will have done time for being an accessory after the fact, and that would be fair.
All my opinion only.
