Bosma Murder Trial 04.05.16 - Day 30

[Inspector_North]

That's not what I am reading from the Tweets. He said DM got the one he wanted and he ended up with a different one. There are 2 guns according to the tweets unless reporters misunderstood something.

Strange comment from MS. Why couldn't he also get the one he wanted? Did they buy them together, and the choices were limited?

Yes. DM got the one he wanted (to get) so MS ended up with a different one (not the one he wanted). There is one gun and DM bought it.

I had to re-read the tweets to make sense of it.

I had assumed there was one gun but I'm not sure how you can get only one gun out of the tweets:

Says it was a video with Zombie bullets and Smich said that went with the other gun. The one he wanted. But it went to Dell.

He says Smich said they were for a gun he wanted, but he ended up with a different one and Dell got that one that he'd wanted. #Bosma

Gun Smich got was in the toolbox.

Smich also told Daly about a YouTube video featuring "zombie bullets" that went with a gun he wanted, but that Dell ended up with #TimBosma

Buying illegal guns on the street isn't like going into a gun shop...yes, options would be limited to what was available at the time of the purchase.

SC (paraphrase) jury hasn't heard who Arthur is yet.

SC (paraphrase) there were 2 guns.

Sorry, not allowed to post the public's tweets and these were answers to their questions. https://twitter.com/susanclairmont

Since they were purchasing illegal guns, I'd guess the options might have been limited. And I can assume that DM was the one purchasing them since MS didn't seem to have access to a lot of cash. JMO

I'm thinking now, going back to the gun/ammo expert and the defense's cross, that there are actually 2 guns.

He apparently had enough to smoke pot ​every day

yeah....I'm still reading as 2 guns....one with zombie bullets (DM got this one) and the other one that MS got.....MOO

 

[Massasauga Rattler]

Maybe this "Arthur"?

http://www.insidehalton.com/news-story/2904155-adults-arrested-for-overpass-graffiti/

How many kids are named Arthur or any variation

That's most likely who he is referring to. I'm sure the reporters just don't have the correct spelling.

Put the name from the article into a Google Image search and look at the first hit....the one with the blonde girl beside him. I wonder what is in his "murse".

 

[Ironworker736]

To me this indicates 2 guns of different calibre, otherwise these "zombie" bullets could be used in either gun
ETA - I wonder who ended up with the .38?

 

[Inspector_North]

Zombie bullets:

"The idea here is to fit a streamlined plastic nose insert onto a normal expanding/hollowpoint/"dum dum" bullet. With its pointier nose the bullet is better streamlined and will fly further and faster than a normal hollowpoint, but will still mushroom open on impact to deliver more trauma than a fully-jacketed or hardcored round."

 

[SnooperDuper]

And cigarettes! Almost as expensive!

Yes.

<modsnip>@susanclairmont is Daly saying that Smich told him there were 2 guns? Millard and Smich each got a gun?

Hate to be so graphic, but if they used hollow points on TB, no wonder they had a big mess to clean up. What a couple of complete morons!

"Like I said, he said that the bullets went with a gun that he wanted, but he ended up with a different gun, and that gun ended up in the toolbox." from AC.

That's not clear to me. Which gun ended up in the toolbox?

 

[Massasauga Rattler]

Can somebody please refresh my mind if it was ever revealed...what was the initial evidence that made MS the second suspect after DM? Of all the possible hoodlums that hung around with DM, why did they initially key in on MS? For whatever reason I can't recall. Thx

so then where did the spent cartridge come from?

 

[paris_paris]

The Walther PPK is a 9mm. That's the one we've seen images of. That's what the spent cartridge is from.

What gun does the zombie bullet fit?

I'll accept for now that one of the reporters said 2 guns. I went by Adam's tweets because they made more sense to me, and his tweets read like 1 gun.

Sorry, not sure what you're getting at.
