Bosma Murder Trial 04.05.16 - Day 30

[MorningStar22]

If you need help posting this morning, I can do the Adam Carter blog. Let me know the link to it and I can do that until lunch time.

I can probably pick it up after lunch for a couple of hours.

In the photo with Millard's print, the writing is much more visible and can be compared ot the reference photo from the RCMP.
by Adam Carter 10:42 AM

Dungey asks if in her courses, Plath was instructed on comparisons with photos. She says no. "Typically, we examine physical objects."
by Adam Carter 10:42 AM

"I don't know of any specific training there is in that," Plath says.
by Adam Carter 10:43 AM

Plath says it's encompassed in her duties to know the parts of a firearm and examine an item.
by Adam Carter 10:44 AM

Dungey now finished. Plath is excused. Jury now being excused for a legal argument.

Millard is looking Smich up and down just after Dungey said that.

Why does he keep doing that? Weird behaviour IMO.

She has never been trained in comparing photos of guns.

Smich's Lawyer: So you don't really have any expertise examining photos?

So you really have no expertise comparing photos, Dungey suggests. She says her expertise is in comparing factors (markings/features/design)

Smich's Lawyer: There is no methodology in that they've trained you, of the alleged guns? #BosmaTrial

That photo is so gangsta' with the face just barely covered by the gun. Nice to see the grey hoodie making another appearance. And maybe clean your fingernails before taking such a photo. MOO

All MOO.

I think DM always giving looks to MS or reacting with looks on his face speaks so much to his involvement. Why he is so emotional about certain things said if he really had no part in this as he claims?! MS is so smart to sit there with a poker face the whole time.

Now taking a short recess.

I don't get it. If a gun expert is testifying about a specific type of gun, would you not think they would review and fire a few rounds prior to testifying? Rather than saying " I fired one of these about 8 years ago?"
Guess I am getting picky in my old age.

Agreed, as a hypothetical gun expert I'd be taking any excuse as an opportunity to take a gun to the range.

 

[MorningStar22]

Do we have any idea who else is up today? When are the girlfriends testifying?

IMO DM mistakingly feels like he still has control over these people. Don't know if jail has hardened MS or he has had counselling but he doesn't seem to be falling for DMs childish antics. He has done a very good job of fading into the woodwork in this trial. I think the TD has clearly counselled him. RP doesn't seem to have a lot of control over DMs behaviour.

I think I read that the jury is not in on Thursday and Friday so legal arguments about the girlfriends can happen. So that would put them on the stand next week. But I'm not positive

"In the MIllard PPK, you have far more evidence because it's functional," Dungey says. "You see all the aspects of it."

by Adam Carter 10:39 AM

Still makes me wonder why DM keeps looking at MS like that. It's almost as if he's saying "See what a mess you got me into. This is the gun you brought to the test drive, but they call it Millard's gun"

 

[SnooperDuper]

All this clickety-click with the mouse...I had to change to a new mouse and now I am refreshed! Can I expense that to WS? lol

 

[Abitcountry]

His courtroom conduct is getting really old. As in, carbon-dated, fossil old. :gaah:

Seriously ??? Did you really expect that he would learn anything from this experience.... " in his mind " he is imaging what it is like to be standing in the lawyer's shoes as preparation for his turn in the LB case where he plans to take on a fool for a client :rolling:. [Just saw the new page with he imogis---fantastic...so much easier to read etc...Thanks!]

 

[mozzagirl]

Court back in session, but jury out of the room for legal arguments. I can't talk about what's being said until the jury is recalled.

No jury at the moment, so will hold off on tweets until they're back #BosmaTrial

I've always thought it is his way of 'testifying' without getting off his chair. The bits and pieces of letters and interviews etc. we've seen have always suggested that the man is fundamentally and fairly transparently manipulative. I think this is just more of that.

 

[Claroon]

Well if anyone needs to be compared to Hitler, it's DM.

I think DM might take that comparison as a compliment.
