Omggggg. This gave me the creeps. They watched Tim? MOO

I read it as they watched other vehicles and was smashing the windows at night to see if they could start the truck and take off with it.

Tumanenko and Millard were talking, Smich was scoping the truck for OnStar or GPS tracking systems. #TimBosma

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 5m5 minutes ago

Millard was asking questions Smich said. #TimBosma

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 5m5 minutes ago
"I did not ask any questions about the vehicle." Then Tumanenko asked Millard if he wanted to drive the truck on the highway.

 

[SnooperDuper]

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 5m5 minutes ago
Smich didn't ask any questions about the vehicle. Then Igor asked Millard if he wanted to drive it on the highway. They swap seats. #Bosma

Colin Butler ‏@ColinButlerCBC 5m5 minutes ago
Then Tumenenko offers the wheel to Millard. #TimBosma

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 5m5 minutes ago
Igor asked Dell if he wanted to drive it on highway. So Millard got behind wheel. Smich says Igor told them he'd been in Israeli army.

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 5m5 minutes ago
At one point Smich asks Igor what he did in the Israeli army. He agrees Igor said something along lines of "you don't want to know." #Bosma

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 5m5 minutes ago
Smich remembers Tumanenko talking about his service in the Israeli army. Smich says he didn't react to "You don't want to know what I did"

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 5m5 minutes ago
"I just asked him what he did. I don't recall a reaction from Dell."

Millard looks down, takes notes as Smich speaks.

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 5m5 minutes ago
Smich doesn't recall if there was any reaction from Millard. The whole drive took roughly an hour, he guesses. #Bosma

Colin Butler ‏@ColinButlerCBC 5m5 minutes ago
After the test drive Smich says he and Millard knew they were still going to look at two other vehicles. #Bosma

"Women have intuition, and she might've had a bad feeling," Smich says.
by Adam Carter 12:15 PM

Smich says he got a text from Millard that said "bring a change of clothes. In case we were going to go steal it, we would have a change of clothes there ... you're not going to go back in the same clothes you were wearing to steal a vehicle ... you're not going to test drive a vehicle in all black, for instance. That would look weird."
by Adam Carter 12:16 PM

Smich says Millard picked him up on May 6 and told him they were going on another test drive. He says this was to "scope out the vehicle."
by Adam Carter 12:18 PM

 

[spanishshara]

@mollyhaye "She was against it completely," Smich says (of truck theft plan). "Women have intuition." #Bosma

If only MS listened to MM...

 

[Ontario Mom]

Does anyone else feel sick? I can't be the only one, right?

 

[canadiangirl]

Some girl was present when they were all looking at ads for trucks on the 4th??? WTH???

LW perhaps? Or was she at home calling to make him feel better?

 

[SnooperDuper]

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 5m5 minutes ago
Igor drove in city. Dell drove on highway. Smich thinks they drove for an hour. After drive, he & Millard talked of seeing 2 other trucks.

Michalski was at Maple Gate when they arrived. From there, Smich was dropped back in Oakville. Not sure if Meneses was there.

Smich says the intention was to "scope it" and then potentially steal it. "That was the plan."
by Adam Carter 12:18 PM

"He was on the phone ... that same phone we discussed earlier. He called the person, which was Mr. Bosma, and we walked over."
by Adam Carter 12:20 PM

He says it was kind of dark out, and they walked up the driveway. "We saw a lady and a man standing up there."
by Adam Carter 12:21 PM

"They greeted us as we were walking up the driveway. Dell spoke to them."
by Adam Carter 12:21 PM

 

[spanishshara]

The Bosma family is about to hear some awful, heartbreaking things. I send them my strength during these next parts of Smich's testimony.

by Adam Carter 12:20 PM

No 3rd person.

 

[Kamille]

My understanding is that MS's criminal record would not be admissible unless introduced by TD or if TD made reference to MS's character it could be referenced on a cross. My point is that TD is bringing it up......IMO to show that MS was a troubled young adult but also showing that his previous crimes have been non-violent.....MOO

Once MS decided to testify, his criminal record was fair game to the other defense team and the Crown.

MOO
