Smich huddled, holding his arms in the video. Black fingernails. Said nothing. #TimBosma

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 16m16 minutes ago
Sachak says he knew that DNA/fingerprint evidence could exonerate or incriminate him. #Bosma

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 16m16 minutes ago
Smich says he had handled that gun, but knew Millard had used that gun to kill mr. #Bosma.

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 16m16 minutes ago
"I knew Dellen had used the gun to kill Mr. Bosma. I didn't wipe it, I just wrapped it..." Smich says.

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 16m16 minutes ago
"I knew that I had handled the gun before and I also knew that Dellen Millard used the gun to kill Mr. Bosma."

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 16m16 minutes ago
Sachak suggests if Millard had used it to Kill #Bosma, then he had the opportunity to bring peace to the family by pointing police to it.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Those have to be the 2 stupidest questions I've ever heard.

I had the same exact thought. DM really picked a winner with this defense counsel. :facepalm:

Peter Akman ‏@PeterAkmanCTV 16m16 minutes ago
"I handled the gun before, Dellen used it to kill Mr. Bosma. I didn't wipe it off or anything before burying it." #Bosma @CTVNews

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 16m16 minutes ago
Sachak says Smich could have brought peace to the #Bosma family at the time with that gun. We are looking at his response to police now

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 17m17 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario
Millard's lawyer raises voice as he says 'you had the chance to bring peace to the Bosma family' Smich says nothing #Bosma #HamOnt

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 16m16 minutes ago
"I didn't wipe it or anything. I wrapped it up and buried it," Smich tells the court. Agrees he could have brought peace to #Bosma family.

Alex Pierson ‏@AlexpiersonAMP 16m16 minutes ago
Sachak says that weapon cld totally exonerate you. MS says he had handled it. "You had the chance to bring peace to the Bosmas." @AM900CHML

Smich says he had a spade with him to bury the gun. He says he doesn't know its length.
by Adam Carter 11:11 AM

Smich says he got the spade from somewhere outside the house. Sachak is really making a point of asking point by point details.
by Adam Carter 11:13 AM

"I was conscious of what I was doing in the sense that I knew I was going to go out and bury the gun, but I was under an unbelievable amount of shock, stress and paranoia at that time," Smich says.
by Adam Carter 11:15 AM

Sachak now asking how far away the spade was from the tape Smich used.
by Adam Carter 11:15 AM

"You told the court ... that that gun was used by Mr. Millard to shoot an innocent man," Sachak says. "You can't tell me where the spade was ... you can't tell me where the tape was."
by Adam Carter 11:16 AM

Back to the police video. Kavanagh asks him again and again, "where is the gun. Bring some peace to this family." #Bosma

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 17m17 minutes ago
Smich looking at statement that "Mark told Marlena he buried the gun in the forest." Where's the gun, son? Where's the gun? Kavanagh asks

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 16m16 minutes ago
Smich is silent. Looks away from Kavanagh. #Bosma

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 17m17 minutes ago
"Where's the gun son. Where's the gun. Bring some peace to this family," implores Kavanagh in video. Smich won't look at him. No response.

Peter Akman ‏@PeterAkmanCTV 17m17 minutes ago
Investigator "Where is the gun son, where is the gun, bring some peace to this family. Smich just cries. No response. #Bosma @CTVNews

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 17m17 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario
More of the video: Smich sits in the corner, his head down, under a blanket. He cries, doesn't look at the officer. #Bosma #HamOnt

 

[spanishshara]

We have a while to go but if this is the best Millard's team has got it doesn't look good for DM IMO. Interesting that the courtroom feels uncomfortable with laughs. Often times that also speaks to how the jury may be reacting to the cross too.

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 17m17 minutes ago
"Bring some peace to this family," Kavanagh pleads in the video. Smich just looks away. #Bosma

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 16m16 minutes ago
Smich says "I know you guys don't want to hear this but my lawyer advised me to stay silent," Smich says. Sachak playing another section

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 17m17 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario
This is the first time the courtroom is seeing this video. It would've been just days after Smich buried the gun. #Bosma #HamOnt

Alex Pierson ‏@AlexpiersonAMP 16m16 minutes ago
Smich. "I wanted to tell police my side.my lawyer advised me to stay silent." @AM900CHML

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 17m17 minutes ago
Going back to the video again. Kavanagh asks yet again "where's the gun Mark, where's the gun." Smich says "I dunno...I had..."
#Bosma

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 16m16 minutes ago
Where's the gun Mark? Kavanagh presses him. "I have, I dunno man," Smich mumbles. He looks like he's trying to sleep. Or he'sabout to puke.

@PeterAkmanCTV [video=twitter;732228483905126400]https://twitter.com/PeterAkmanCTV/status/732228483905126400[/video] Millard seemingly enjoying the cross examination of Smich. Small smile on his face. Watching his co-accused. #Bosma @CTVNews

Not sure why DM is enjoying it. He's toast too.

Smich again says he taped up the gun in a shopping bag. Says he doesn't remember where he put the spade.
by Adam Carter 11:17 AM

"It didn't have it's own bicycle and cycle to the forest," Sachak says about the spade. "That would be impossible," Smich says.
by Adam Carter 11:18 AM

Sachak asks Smich if he put the spade in a backpack or "taped it around his head." Smich says that's his suggestion.

More video: Smich has his body turned completely away from the officer. 'I don't know' head down. #Bosma #HamOnt

"Does someone else have to die before we get the gun back?" The policeman asks Smich in the video. #Bosma

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 16m16 minutes ago
Smich says "I don't know."

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 17m17 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario
Officer: Look at me Mark, does someone else have to die before we get the gun back? Smich: Sir, I don't know where it is. #Bosma #HamOnt

 

[redheart]

I don't like Sachak or his lame attempts at humour, but he's doing a good job, IMO. Sachak is making it very clear to me that MS is lying. MS can't back his stories up with any detail whatsoever.
As if he can't guess at the size of the spade he used, how he carried the spade on his bike, whether he buried the gun in a ravine or a bush, etc. etc. Pfffft.

 

[SnooperDuper]

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 17m17 minutes ago
Look a me Mark, does someone else have to die before we get the gun back? Let's get it off the street Mark. "Sir, I don't know where it is."

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 16m16 minutes ago
Back to video. Smich is almost bald. Looks very different from now. Kavanagh: "Where's the gun Mark. Whree's the gun."

Alex Pierson ‏@AlexpiersonAMP 17m17 minutes ago
Cop pressing smich where the gun is. He is curled up in a ball. Head down. Cop ;does someone else have to die before we get the gun back"

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 17m17 minutes ago
Kavanagh asks "who has the gun right now. I don't want someone else to die." Smich says he doesn't know where it is. #Bosma

I wonder what DM's interview was like? MS was crying- perhaps DM was getting inspiration and composure from the tattoos on his arms?

 

[SnooperDuper]

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 17m17 minutes ago
Smich curls up in chair, turns even more toward wall. Kavanagh raises voice. "Where's the gun now?"

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 17m17 minutes ago
"There's a few things like I told you," Smich says, he tried to tell another officer that he wanted to tell his side of the story.

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 17m17 minutes ago
Smich says earlier he did tell them he wanted to talk, but was staying silent as per his right. #Bosma

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 17m17 minutes ago
"Does someone else have to die before we get the gun back. Look at me Mark..Let's get it off the street Mark." Smich mumbles "I don't know."

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 17m17 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario
Millard's lawyer: You DO know where it is. It is in a forest. Smich: That's correct. #Bosma #HamOnt

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 17m17 minutes ago
Kavanagh: "Who has the gun right now?" Smich: "Sir, I don't know."

 

[Velma]

"When you were cycling, your eyes were open ... you used your legs to move the paddles in a motion, that goes without saying," Sachak says.
by Adam Carter 11:20 AM

Smich says that "just makes sense."
by Adam Carter 11:20 AM

Sachak again says the bag with the gun could have been "taped to his body," -- Smich once again repeats that he doesn't remember. "I was a little bit drunk that day, a little bit high."
by Adam Carter 11:21 AM

 

[SnooperDuper]

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 17m17 minutes ago
Smich says his answer was the same then as it is now. He doesn't know where the gun is. #Bosma

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 17m17 minutes ago
"You're not showing that part and that's ok," he says. #Bosma

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 17m17 minutes ago
Smich insists he doesn't know where the gun is. Sachak suggests it could be in Muskoka for all he knows. Smich says he said Oakville. #Bosma

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 17m17 minutes ago
It could be in Muskoka, for all you know, Sachak roars. Smich says no, it's in @townofoakville but a google map won't help, he says.

Alex Pierson ‏@AlexpiersonAMP 17m17 minutes ago
Sachak mocking smich that somewhere in a CDN forest is a gun. Oakville. Muskoka. In the world. @AM900CHML

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 17m17 minutes ago
Sachak suggests there are 100 officers who could get there to get the gun, if he could point out on a map where it is. #Bosma

 

[Typhoo1961]

I wonder what DM's interview was like?

I hope eventually it gets released to the public. <modsnip>

 

[Ontario Mom]

IF in fact, MS did not shoot Tim but it was DM that did, it would obviously be in MS's best interest of course to produce the gun. IF this is actually what happened, and IF he really did bury it in a haze of panic and confusion and smoking and drinking... it would seem to me he really doesn't remember where he buried it.
