March 14, 2012. "I love you mi Knee-grow. I love you like, large. You're the brother I never had." #Smich & #Millard

How touching. If, ya know, there was no murder involved.

He got the dog as a stray in Mexico - means "fart" in Spanish there.

I also heard it can be used as a term to describe being wasted/sloshed/trashed on drugs or booze but I'm not Spanish so that is only second hand info.

 

[Velma]

More messages sent to Mi Negro. It's about help before a GST cheque comes in. Again says at the end "u r like a brother to me. One I never had and vice versa."

You are my best friend and my manager, so your opinion matters most. They say don't mix business and friends, but whoever that was is stupid... You can only trust so many people. I love you mi amiga. You're the brother I never had. (As I heard it in court) #LauraBabcock

What do we think... DM preying on MS' lack of male influence/involved father figure... or these 2 being truly cut from the same (vile) cloth?

 

[Kamille]

Always cutting corners, not following rules, doing his own thing and getting away with it.

Story of his life....until he got caught.

BBM

Cutting corners except where it came to buying mattresses. For that, he was going all out. New one every six months or so and even paying extra for quick delivery when necessary.

MOO

Both! IMO

So we're clear, all these texts include the backup from "Dell's iPhone."

Now some texts about phone bill charges.

Now a text from Millard's phone to Mi Negro. "how ruthless are you willing to be to make $$? I have some ideas, but it's next level stuff. we'll talk about this weekend. I know you need income."

A response from Mi Negro: "I gotta do something. Or else I'm screwed."

Wait - what? MS was DM’s “manager”? Managing what?! Or am I reading this wrong?

I think this is a text from MS to DM? Wasn't DM his "rap" manager? Going to build him a studio and promote his "career"? :waitasec:

Well it is looking like Smich was literally a hired gun.... MOO

 

[Oreck]

I agree. The media is not a friend to people in her circumstance, and that would have been a particularly stressful day in the very stressful extended experience she is living. I’m inclined to cut her some slack. At least she has been there, which has to difficult.

In other countries they are called paparazzi.

A message from Say10 to Millard's phone "I'm tryna not juice so much anymore. I feel more alive when I'm not juiced."
by Adam Carter 12:24 PM

"i'll keep writing more rhymes." #Smich appears to be looking for more money because he spent all his "on juice and smokes." He didn't mean to, it just happened. He's trying not to "juice" so much because his head doesn't feel clear. #LauraBabcock

Apr 15, 2012, conversation. "Is your bank acct at TD? no. OK MDM. (would have sent you $100 if it was). "Has your sister got a TD acct?" Yes.

Lisa Hepfner‏ @HefCHCHNews 16s16 seconds ago
"My sister is still sleeping though I don't know when she'll wake up." #Smich doesn't think his sister will wake up soon. She (Andrea) had a late night. Trusts her to collect money through her bank account though.

 

[Errrr]

I might be mistaken, but I believe they both had access to laptops at last trial..

Wouldn't it be funny if they were typing morse code to each other!

 

[Velma]

Now seeing a screen cap of a $100 e-transfer being sent from Dell Millard to Andrea Smich.
by Adam Carter 12:30 PM

So we're clear here, the Crown alleges that "Say10" is Smich.
by Adam Carter 12:31 PM

Now seeing texts between Millard's phone and Say10 talking about equipment and music production. Also talking about giving Millard the nickname Dman, "like demon."
by Adam Carter 12:33 PM

"I thought of the best nickname for use. Use your initials, DM. Like D-mon..... Music takes a long time to produce though. Just so you know." #Millard #Smich

"D-man and SAY10. Kowalski got F**ed. He's stuck with that nickname forever.... love you my amica." #Smich #Millard

"Don't lose faith in what we can make happen... I need you in one piece... good times aren't here yet... you've got to be able to lift run and jump... you could lose everything I have planned for you." #Millard #Smich

Now from Millard to Say10: "I know you are itching to get working. It's just busiest year of my life and I haven't been able to put much time into it. But you've been building up that itch for years, we've only started down this path for a couple of months. With the little time I've put in, look how much we've gotten ready. Soon as I finish these projects (one more month) think of how far we can go."

Also talks about Smich being "banged up" and how he can't "unload trailers at the airport" that way. Says he needs to be able to "run and jump."

[Inspector_North]

Are time and dates for these texts identified? Just trying to get an idea of how these texts we are hearing fit in the time frame..

 

[Nosey Parker]

Their nicknames make me sick to my stomach!

 

[mimimic]

They went to so much trouble having so many secret phones/nicknames. so glad
