No issue with continuity, #Smich lawyer Dungey says. This means he's not concerned about evidence exposed to tampering before reaching court

Seguin was called to a second search at Smich's mother's house in Oakville, in Dec. 2013, about 7 months after the original search.

Seguin arrived at #Smich home at 8:50am. Her job was to take photos as per search warrant. Maybe 10 officers were on scene, she thinks

Shannon Martin‏ @ShannonMartinTV now1 minute ago
She took photos before the search, of the bedrooms upstairs, and then took photos of the items of interest.

One bedroom appeared to just be used for storage, Seguin describes the photos she took of #Smich house.

She's taking us through another series of photos, which are very similar to the ones we saw from the previous officer.

There is a tight shot of that red Roots duffel bag. She says there is spraypaint cans inside.

Storage room is full of baskets, storage bins, a red roots duffel bag that Seguin is now describing. Spray paint cans falling out of bag.

Close up of spray paint cans. Yellow and red mostly, looks like to me. Red Roots bag seized by Seguin. "I took custody of the bag." #Smich

 

[Kamille]

Don't tell me he kept Laura's suitcase for personal use...thump!

You may be right on this one Dar. Kept it for his graffiti supplies? :doh:

 

[Kamille]

Laura Babcock's mom, Linda, takes some tissues and wipes her eyes, as we continue to see a number of photos of this red Roots duffel bag.

There is a tag on the bag. It has Laura Babcock's name and address on it.

The Roots bag has a luggage tag with Laura #Babcock's name, phone number and address on it. I heard a few gasps at that. #Smich

Good thing these guys are idiots.

I wonder if DM is giving MS dirty looks right about now?

Seguin to "unseal" a large property bag. I imagine we are going to see the red bag with Laura #Babcock's name on it, found in #Smich house.

Seguin stands as she holds up a large plastic bag, there's brown paper wrapped around a large object inside. It's an evidence bag.

She's now opening it on the witness stand.

It's the red Roots bag, with Laura Babcock's name and address handwritten on the ID tag.
by Shannon Martin 11:15 AM

The same one she seized from Smich's home.

I bet this is what DM has been blathering about and alluding to!! He is trying to blame it on MS because he knows MS kept that bag and through disclosure, knew it had been taken during the search warrant!

 

[dar107]

Of course her kept it, kept the laptop, kept everything but the phone?

It's taking Seguin awhile to unseal the bag. She has it now. Large piece of luggage seized from #Smich home. It has wheels.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews now54 seconds ago
She's now showing court the name tag that pulls out to show the owner's name and contact information. #Babcock #Smich

Crown Ken Lockhart is done. #Millard has questions. #Babcock

 

[Kamille]

Crown Ken Lockhart has finished with the officer.

Dellen Millard is now on the stand and asks the officer to clarify the date the bag was found. Dec. 16, 2013. He thought it was in 2014.
by Shannon Martin 11:18 AM

Pardon me, I mis-typed.

Dellen Millard is now at the podium. He thought the bag was seized in May 2013 - during the first search.

It was seized during the second search.

Ya...if it was my brother/son I would of looked through all his stuff after the 1st police search, but that maybe thats just me and my curious nature. I would of found that and i would of called the police back.... wow just wow

 

[andreww]

Police came across this on the first search and had no idea who Laura Babcock was? No wonder they couldn't find her.
