Actually DM did have the carpet out of the Yukon, the yellow TJ and the Red Ram. You see the Ram floors and TJ floors in the FB BAJA pics. The evidence photos show the Yukon floors with no carpet.

AJ also testified that carpets and such were pulled from cars so it wasn't unusual to see as DM said he was allergic to mold. Yes MS story lines up that he didn't care about a mess as the interior would be stripper regardless. The other areas could easily be cleaned with a hose and soap.

Yes exactly right. Don't forget the same guy who had the brilliant plan to tamper with witness testimony and to put that plan in his own handwriting.

Question for all you legal scholars...WHY is it that MS's criminal history is fair game for NS to grill him on, in order to smear his character, but the fact DM is up on murder charges for TB and LB cannot be disclosed for the reason that the murder charge for TB must stand on it's own merritts?

You may argue that it's because the murder charges against DM for LB and his father are only charges and have not been tried in court yet....BUT, if that's the case, neither was MS convicted of auto theft...yet that is what NS was grilling him on.

Once a defendant takes the stand they are "fair game", everything about them, including their criminal history.

Which is why so many do not, including DM IMO.

MOO

possibly waiting for it to get dark

There's lots of credible reasons but if he didn't testify to them he's going to get a massive wallop with Sachak's timeline, which will make much more sense than his and put him the truck for an extra few critical minutes and suggest his accounting of getting right into the Yukon after the Bosma's is a lie.

Allergic to mold right? ;)

So is NS suggesting that DM was dangling the Cadillac carrot over MS's head for over a year? You'll get the Cadillac when I get my diesel truck that you help me steal? Which was also an issue because neither MS nor MM could register the vehicle in their name without a license. So DM would have let them use it, uninsured, while it was still under his name? So basically, this pretend deal was for DM to lend MS the Cadillac to drive to Calgary? And if they had gotten into an accident, with no insurance, ownership or license between them, would DM have told LE that they stole it from him? Not much of a deal for MS.

In Sept 2012, he was arrested for mischief with his friend Arthur. It was for spraying graffiti on an overpass. #Bosma

molly hayesVerified account ‏@mollyhayes 2m2 minutes ago
Sachak asks what the graffiti was. Smich says they "sprayed the whole place." #Bosma

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 1m1 minute ago Toronto, Ontario
Sachak going line by line through Smich's prior convictions. We're hearing about graffiti Smich sprayed in Oakville 'SAY10' #Bosma #HamOnt

molly hayesVerified account ‏@mollyhayes 2m2 minutes ago
Sachak suggests the predominant word was "SAY10." Smich says he used that yes. #Bosma

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 58s58 seconds ago Toronto, Ontario
SAY10 was Smich's nickname, one he used in his rap lyrics. #Bosma #HamOnt

Peter Akman ‏@PeterAkmanCTV 1m1 minute ago
Millard's lawyer now focusing on Smich #tagging overpass with his nickname "Say10" pronounced SATAN. #Bosma @CTVNews

In 2012 Smich and Arthur were arrested for mischief. Spray painted graffiti on 4th line overpass at QEW in @townofoakville

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 2m2 minutes ago
SAY10 was the predominant graffiti, Sachak fills in when Smich won't answer. Smich says he did tag that name a lot. Also sprayed other stuff

molly hayesVerified account ‏@mollyhayes 1m1 minute ago
Sachak asks if Dellen Millard was with him that night. "He was not there that time, no," Smich says. #Bosma

molly hayesVerified account ‏@mollyhayes 36s37 seconds ago
Sachak asks why he sprayed say10. He says he did graffiti, break dancing, hip hop, "it all ties in together. Something I grew up on." #Bosma

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 57s57 seconds ago
Why did you spray SAY10 on the overpass? "Graffiti, breakdancing, hip hop, it all ties in together. Something I grew up on."

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 1m1 minute ago
Says Millard was not with him "that time." Smich says graffiti, hip hop and break dancing were all things he grew up with.

Peter Akman ‏@PeterAkmanCTV 1m1 minute ago
"Break dancing, graffiti, rap music... all goes together." Smich talking about spray painting bridge. #Bosma @CTVNews

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 1m1 minute ago
Sachak asks why commit a criminal offence in doing that. Smich says "it's part of the hip hop culture, sir." #Bosma

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 50s51 seconds ago
Sachak says to quote him yesterday, hip hop doesn't mean you do criminal activity. He asks why he engaged in criminality.

Adam CarterVerified account ‏@AdamCarterCBC 1m1 minute ago
"I think the jury should understand why you commit a criminal offence for your artistic ideals," Sachak asks. #TimBosma #Bosma

"A lot of people get paid for that stuff. It's an outlet," Smich says. "Some people don't approve of it, but it's another art form." #Bosma

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 2m2 minutes ago
"Painting is something I enjoy doing," Smich says. Whether legally or illegally. "It's part of the hip hop culture, like rhyming"

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 2m2 minutes ago
Just because you listen to hip hop doesn't mean you have to engage in criminality, Sachak says.

Susan ClairmontVerified account ‏@susanclairmont 1m1 minute ago
Sachak asks why he doesn't express himself by playing hockey instead. #Bosma

molly hayesVerified account ‏@mollyhayes 1m1 minute ago
Sachak asks why he didn't "play hockey" or engage in something positive. #Bosma

Adam CarterVerified account ‏@AdamCarterCBC 50s50 seconds ago
Smich is just giving the same answers the Sachak asking the same question repeatedly. #TimBosma #Bosma

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 2m2 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario

"I don't know how to explain it properly," Smich says. #Bosma

Peter Akman ‏@PeterAkmanCTV 1m1 minute ago
Millard's lawyer tying his willingness to break law by tagging and his rap music and the violent language. Smich "hip hop culture." #Bosma

Adam CarterVerified account ‏@AdamCarterCBC 1m1 minute ago
Sachak says he's "very familiar" with Eminem and other rap artists. They're now talking about hip hop and artistic expression. #Bosma

Pierce Lang ‏@piercelang_tv 1m1 minute ago Hamilton, Ontario
Sachack seems lost here DJing, Rapping, Break Dancing, and Graffiti are the 4 Elements. Smich struggling to explain. #Bosma @CogecotvHalton

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 2m2 minutes ago
I was saying your raps are your innermost feelings yesterday, Sachak says, and you disagreed with me.

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 1m1 minute ago
Breakdancing isn't illegal but it all ties in together. Writing rhymes isn't illegal. Unfortunately graffiti where you're not supposed to is

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 1m1 minute ago
Raps are an artistic diary of your creativity, Sachak says. That's why you committed a mischief. Smich is still disagreeing.

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 49s50 seconds ago
There are rap artists who have engaged in the sort of criminality Smich wrote about, Sachak says.

Adam CarterVerified account ‏@AdamCarterCBC 2m2 minutes ago
Sachak now again saying that Smich's "menacing cruel," rap lyrics are an "artistic diary" of Smich's "criminality." #TimBosma #Bosma

Susan ClairmontVerified account ‏@susanclairmont 2m2 minutes ago
Sachak trying to tie rapping, graffiti and criminality together. #Bosma

Smich compares Stephen King to Dr. Seuss. Sachak replies that Stephen King is not facing a first degree murder charge. #Bosma

Adam CarterVerified account ‏@AdamCarterCBC 2m2 minutes ago
"Stephen King writes pretty graphic novels ... he's never done any of that stuff," Smich says. #TimBosma #Bosma

Adam CarterVerified account ‏@AdamCarterCBC 1m1 minute ago
"I don't think Stephen King is facing a first-degree murder charge," Sachak says. #TimBosma #Bosma

Peter Akman ‏@PeterAkmanCTV 1m1 minute ago
Smich says in defence of his rap music "@StephenKing write graffic disturbing novels, and he doesn't kill anyone." Sachak agrees #Bosma

Stephen King writes in the third person. MS raps in the first person.

FWIW ... An interesting Walrus magazine article about rap lyrics used as evidence in trials in Canada, with mention of this trial ...

Just reading and trying to catch up now. :tyou: to all those who provided the tweets today!

Does anyone wonder why, if MS's story is true, DM would have trusted MS to follow him while driving alone with DM's dog in the Yukon AFTER TB was killed by DM? Would it not occur to DM that MS may try to take a detour and escape or that he might call the police? Was that not extremely presumptuous of DM to expect that MS would follow him with no questions asked? Why would DM expect MS to protect him or assist him in the clean up afterwards if this wasn't part of a pre-arranged plan? If MS didn't know about a plan to murder the truck owner, or at the very least a plan to try and overpower TB so that DM and MS could take the truck, then I see no reason why MS would have followed DM to the farm and later the hangar and even less that DM would have simply expected MS to. That's expecting a lot IMO and I think it's highly unlikely. I'd think it very unusual for DM to place that much trust in MS without having had some sort of conversation with MS, if not prior to the murder immediately afterwards, at least about what had happened and why and perhaps then making an impassioned plea for help. MS says DM just said he's taking the truck and directed MS to change the plates of TB's truck and MS just goes along? Why?

I believe so strongly that both DM and MS both knew the plan whatever the plan was - and we'll likely never hear the the true details of it. That one or both accused were armed with a gun and whether or not they planned ahead to kill TB, they were prepared that at least one of them, if not both, would use a gun to at the very least threaten TB with, is more believable to me than any tall tale MS or DM puts forth. No matter which one shot TB, or if they both did, that they are both guilty as charged IMO.

All MOO.

I guess we'll find out this Friday.

Is he stoned in that video? His expressions seem so bizarre like when he says "dangle you off the roof too" and looks up and almost wolf-howls the "too".

rsbm bbm

That part was hilarious to me too.:)

All MOO.

You have to wonder then what the witness who described two vehicles pulling out his dad's field saw. The brain can fill in information and shape memories, but as Smich tells it he only could have seen the Yukon pulling out.
This honestly makes me think he's telling the truth. If he were listening to previous testimony, and adapting his version of events to what they say, he would have said they pulled in, dropped him off and both vehicles pulled back out - is it would have been collaborated with the story from the gentleman walking his dog. IIRC the gentleman said at the time, he thought the vehicles may have been dumping garbage, but didn't think much of it til police reports of Mr Bosma missing. He knows he saw both vehicles, maybe just mis-remembered where on the road they were/what they were doing
 
  • #334
Or maybe DM backed into the lane way to turn around before Smich left. That could be the reason the neighbor saw 2 vehicles leaving like was suggested. Then headed straight down Book towards Brantford

This would explain it too..it being a rural area, (that I'm not familiar with) perhaps the road was not wide enough for DM to make the U turn, so he did a 3/point turn, backing into the field then pulling out?

Perhaps DM pulled out a gun earlier before he dropped MS off, then returned to the field to retrieve the Yukon. MS duct tape TB and he followed in the Yukon. We know TB s blood and gun residue was not found in that truck. Then TB gets loose by the Bobcat place. DM. Shoots:jail:. Imo there's no way, you can just drop MS off and TB is just dazzled by DM. So parts of MS story holds truth, but other parts fall apart.
Other thoughts when LE combed the Yukon, they did find evidence of blood, but belonged to LB. ? Incinerator was used before ? LB ?
 
  • #336
Would still be interesting to see how they fared.
Re: lie detectors - Psychopaths would naturally do well wouldn't they (just a guess because maybe lies don't affect them physiologically?)
so I assume that DM could beat the polygraph.

Have you tried getting loose with duct tape wrapped around your wrists? I would think it would be next to impossible.

Just now catching up from this afternoon. Some random thoughts:

Sachack pretending to not understand the friend/Tim Horton's story is 100% BS in my opinion. He knew exactly what MS had said earlier as to why the Yukon was in the laneway to the field. According to MS, it was Sachak's own client who came up with the "oh golly gee, my fake invisible magical friend cannot seem to find the local Timmies, they're parked right down the road here!" Sachak knew all that and yet he's pulling this crap about the friend looking for a Tim Hortons in a field. The fact that he's doing that tells me he has absolutely nothing else, and yet he's actually attempting to convince the jury MS is lying about a strawman argument he himself (Sachak) is presenting. In a sense, he's deliberating misrepresenting what MS has already said. MS never said this fake friend was looking for a Timmies in a field, he said DM told them his "friend" couldn't find it, and was parked nearby (not an actual quote, but this is what he testified to on the stand). This tells me, Sachak has absolutely nothing else to use.

While I find MS's version of what went down that night believable, I'm still on the fence as to whether he knew DM had a gun on him, or how much he actually knew in advance. DM strikes me as the type to only disclose details to his "friends" as he sees fit.

Sachak bringing up MS criminal history has one seriously HUGE THING missing: MS does not have a violent criminal history. DM on the other hand, while never convicted (yet), has been charged in THREE murders. One of which, his own father, for crying out loud. All of MS criminal history is petty crap in comparison to shooting a man in cold blood. Failure to comply, tagging, possession, and then the DUI. Even though MS is also charged in LB's case, his prior criminal history, prior to meeting DM is 100% absent of any violence. I know the jury can't use DM's pending charges/murder cases in their deliberations on this case but it sure stands out to me.

all the above is moo, imo & various/sundry disclaimers, fwiw

All MOO.

In the absence of the LB case, and under MS's story where he had no foreknowledge of murder, you would think DM would wonder if MS would continue to follow.
So I agree with you that the fact that DM trusted MS to follow at the minimum seems to suggest that the murder plan was known by MS.
However one scenario for DM to trust an 'unaware' MS would be if DM's huge ego allowed him to believe that the bond between them was rock solid and/or a belief that MS would never risk prison time for theft/drug offences he was already guilty of.

If if we add in LB (assuming MS is complicit as charged) then DM would be absolutely confident that MS would follow (I.e. He seems not to have anticipated MS's testimony in the Bosma trial)
