Sachak is pressing Smich on exactly when and where that was written. Smich can't say exactly.
by Adam Carter 10:48 AM

"When you're talking about a 380, you're talking about a Walther PPK 380, right?" Sachak says. Smich turn to Goodman and says there's an issue with this. Goodman sends the jury out.

Hmm, wonder if they're going to do rap lyrics all day.

Thanks, tweet transcribers.

Yes, thank you meterclicks and Kamille!

molly hayesVerified account ‏@mollyhayes 1m1 minute ago
Smich says he doesn't know, this is from 2012. #Bosma

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 2m2 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario
Smich says he can't say for sure where this was written, he can't recall it's in 2012 #Bosma #HamOnt

Peter Akman ‏@PeterAkmanCTV 2m2 minutes ago
Millard's lawyer getting verbally agressive towards Smich. Trying to get clear answers from him." #Bosma @CTVNews

***This is a good strategy for MS if he doesn't get snarky. Let the mean lawyer "verbally abuse" him for days to garner sympathy. Which is absurd in the grand scheme of things but might actually pull some jurors on his side.

Yes, written very shortly after LB was murdered.

If DM was not a micro manager and Genius Coyote, his paws would not be all over everything, including the RAP lyrics. Now DM's lawyer doesn't know and can't prove who wrote what.

MOO

What proof is there that DM actually ever did write rap lyrics, though? Other than MS testimony? Maybe I'm forgetting...?
Sounds pretty convenient for MS.

We've seen plenty written by DM, but I don't remember any bits of rap or rhymes.

Jury now being recalled.
by Adam Carter 10:55 AM

Sachak now reads out the "My .380 is no stranger" line with emphasis. "When Im angered, you're in danger."
by Adam Carter 10:56 AM

"That was found on your iPad sir," Sachak says. "That's correct sir," Smich says.
by Adam Carter 10:57 AM

 

[Juballee]

Yeah - plenty or artists write and rap in character. It doesn't mean they've done what they write about IRL. I'm not saying Smich isn't guilty just that this angle by DM's side seems like reaching IMO. But again, the jury could very well see it pokes holes in the image he wants to portray in court.

To me it's like if someone was an artist who specialized in child photography got charged with for a child molester, I think people would want to take a closer look at some of their photos and maybe question the ones that see, to address the same subject as the crime.

If his raps were about cop killing, or racism, or degrading woman, they wouldn't be relevant here, but art made by him about having a gun, people being scared of him, bravado, killing, or running and hiding from the cops, all seem fairly relevant and may possibly be an insight into his mind.

 

[brightii]

Those lyrics written July 7 2012 ... and my mind goes immediately to LB. Especially since MS then tells the judge there's an issue about the gun mentioned in the lyrics. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but that's how my mind works. I see why the charges in LB's murder can't be considered by the jury because they are really prejudicial to both accused when considering their guilt in TB's murder, if I'm any indication of how people are swayed by those LB murder charges.

All MOO.

 

[meterclicks]

Sachak says there's one other piece he wants the jury to look at.
by Adam Carter 10:57 AM

It's a video of Smich, shirtless. He's rapping. "I'm a killer, check my design ... tell the cops everything and you die on the news."
by Adam Carter 10:58 AM

"Words are pretty clear, right?" Sachak says. "It's rhyme sir," he says.

Didn't someone else (maybe MS on his first day?) testify that Mark was the talent and DM was the funding?

Sachak continues reading lines from the rap. "My 380 iz no stranger, When I'm angered you're in danger," he reads slowly. #Bosma

Smich agrees these words were found on his iPad. #Bosma

Now seeing video of Smich. Shirtless. Shaved scalp. Rapping. His eyes are manic. Lips bright, smiling.

Paused at end, Smich in still frame. Chilling eyes.

Peter Akman ‏@PeterAkmanCTV 1m1 minute ago
Now playing selfie video of Smich rapping. Shaved head. No shirt. "Peace *****." #Bosma @CTVNews

molly hayesVerified account ‏@mollyhayes 57s58 seconds ago
He has an angry expression. There's music playing in the background as he raps. #Bosma

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 53s54 seconds ago Toronto, Ontario
In the video, Smich is much skinner, shaved head, he's shirtless. #Bosma #HamOnt

molly hayesVerified account ‏@mollyhayes 59s60 seconds ago
Sachak says these lyrics are pretty clear. Smich says "it's a rhyme, sir." #Bosma

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 53s54 seconds ago Toronto, Ontario
Smich has dark circles under his eyes, the video is an extreme close up of his face. #Bosma #HamOnt

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 1m1 minute ago
"It's like what you brought up in cross with Marlena Meneses," Smich says he rhymed about lots of things, like Cadillacs, he didn't have

 

[meterclicks]

Smich says he'd rhyme about things, but they didn't mean anything. Like having a car or cash, for example: "I'd rhyme about those things, but I don't even own a car."
by Adam Carter 11:00 AM

"It has nothing to do with reality," Smich says.
by Adam Carter 11:01 AM

"Well it's not like 'Give Peace a Chance,' is it?" Sachak says. "I'm sorry, is that a rap song," Smich says.
by Adam Carter 11:02 AM

 

[ArianeEmory]

I'm torn; this is all very standard gangsta rap posturing nonsense, but I can see it being very damaging to MS with the jury, especially if they're not familiar with this genre of music.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsta_rap

But I've said all along he was a wanna-be gangster.

 

[Inspector_North]

"Well it's not like 'Give Peace a Chance,' is it?" Sachak says. "I'm sorry, is that a rap song," Smich says.
by Adam Carter 11:02 AM

Not that it should, but that gave me a chuckle. He is a little too quick with the wit. He should save some for day 7.

MOO
