SS and LH seemed pretty intent on getting the toolbox and backpack to Smich didn't they? Why not just bury that stuff?
pretty sure it was AM and MH who had the toolbox and backpack.....MOO

One thing that has reoccurred over and over is the reluctance to let go of material things. Why didn't they just destroy the truck when they knew AJ called CS, instead of parking it at his mom's?
It seems to me that DM was distributing evidence to friends and family where he thought it safe from LE. Why MS wanted to sell the gun instead of burying it at first is still a bit of a mystery. But MS isn't the brightest bulb in the room.

DVR given to NG
Toolbox and Weed to MH and AM. They chose to give it to MS, but may have been instructions from DM after being arrested.
Bosma truck to his mom's
DM was the master planner. The Eliminator was a little harder to store with someone, hence the storing in a stand of trees.

I think the fact that TB initially went willingly with the accused is why it doesn't constitute abduction. Remember Sgt. Kavanagh's words that Tim "entered that vehicle of his own free will, but he was not allowed to leave"
I'm thinking of the jury this morning. It's such a huge commitment they make to serve while their own lives are disrupted for an extended period of time. This is a long trial. Not to mention how much difficult evidence they have to consider and discuss before arriving at a verdict for two accused. It must be a daunting task! They have my gratitude and respect.:rose:
All MOO.
Was the skid steer used to load the eliminator possibly? Is that how they managed to keep their clothes relatively clean?
Funny you mention that because I had the same thought. It does look like he's saying something to her but I think it's more his body language that gave me the impression he was saying something he didn't want DM to hear. I don't think anyone else mentioned it so I just let it go.
where to find this video again? i don't see it in billandrew's exhibits pages
I should look over ss testimony again for-myself - but maybe someone remembers easily... i wonder why SS texted DM the night of (around 8:00) after leaving AM car keys in car for him and leaving the hanger....He wondered and asked if DM was on his way there. seems strange to ask ...no? almost like he was expecting him to be at some point(not to see him, just for ?)

Good observation and I agree, it's a curious question and it does seem to imply SS expected DM to be going to the hangar that evening of May 6th, IMO.
All MOO.
Sorry you are right, Im getting lost with all this initial business lol.
But the other thing I found disturbing in MH's testimony is this. He says he didn't know what was in the toolbox or the backpack. He says Millard didn't tell him anything. He says he and AM did not discuss the contents of either item in their possession. So tell me this, what possible information did he have that led him to call CrimeStoppers and finger Smich?
Something is just not right. In my opinion both MH and AM had a pretty good idea what was in those items. For some reason simply disposing of them wasn't going to be of help to Millard. He needed these items to be in Smich's hands and then he needed a call to CrimeStoppers. MH & AM knew that Smich was possibly being watched so the left the items in the stairwell, later alerting Smich to there whereabouts. Once they knew he'd retrieved them, the call was made to CrimeStoppers. Unfortunately for them Smich had already disposed of the contents of the toolbox. I'm positive that Millard was doing his best to set Smich up, likely as a means to shift blame away from himself, but fortunately for Smich it opens the door to a "I was framed" defence.
