Laura Babcock Murder Trial 11.23.17 - Day 21

[Velma]

A clipboard was also found - with it a four-page letter.

Another bundle: five letters.

There's more: another letter, a piece of paper with code, four-small pieces of paper with writing, and three additional pieces of paper attached to a pad.

All of these items were found in the bedside table, or on a desk, in Noudga's bedroom.

Hi Velma, I'm sorry I've been unable to help out with the tweets but I had a sudden death in the family and have been unavailable during the day. Thanks to you and everyone who has pitched in as I've been staying caught up but I've not had much time to comment.

I'm here today until at least the lunch break if you want me to take over.

I'm sorry to hear that, Kamille. My condolences.

If you could take over, that would be great. I can pop back this afternoon to help for an hour or so. I'll let you know when I'm back.

65 letters in total.

Retired officer Floriani also found Noudga's passport, in the master bedroom of the home.

Crown Cameron asks: Had Mr Millard and Mark Smich been arrested for the murder of Ms. Babcock?

He answers, "No."

Noudga's passport, Floriani says, located in the top drawer of a dresser in the master bedroom -- a different room. Crown Cameron says she counts 65 letters in total. He agrees.

Millard and Smich had not yet been arrested for the murder of #LauraBabcock when Floriani searched the Noudga home.

I know you don't know me, but I hope you are ok.

You always want to finish with a bang, so I hope so, too.

The last week or so has been rater anti-climatic and left everyone wanting more.

My sincere condolences, Kamille.

How are they going to get around the fact that the letters were illegally authored from jail when they "hadn't been arrested for [LB]" yet?

Is there separate letters from the TB letters? What was the total # there?

 

[Kamille]

I know you don't know me, but I hope you are ok.

Thank you mimimic. I'm doing okay, very sweet of you to ask. :tyou:

Crown is going to read the letters. Hard to see on court monitor, she notes. "Destroy these letters! but you can keep this card but don't let anyone see it... I love you, I miss you, PS . a gift for a girl drinking fine red alone." #LauraBabcock

Next letter "hello my darling. I'm studying hard here in Reno. Even though the course has just begun it feels like ages since we've been apart.... the next time you go to touch yourself, think of me (goes on romantically, then lengthy sexual fantasy)" #LauraBabcock


Crown Cameron has handed out a booklet of the letters to the jury.

We see an image on four large flat screens - very faint handwriting on lined paper.

"Destroy these letters but you can keep this card. But if anyone sees it, it's from 2012... I love you, I miss you. PS A gift for a girl drinking fine red alone."

Another letter, "The next time you go to touch yourself, think of my hands running over your curves... the tickle of my breath inhaling of your scent..."

It goes on to describe an explicit sex scene.

It ends, "I love you, I'm thinking of you,
Dellen Millard."

I can't stand the way DM writes....barf.

We didn't see a lot of letters and parts of letters in the TB trial as they were redacted. A lot due to the relation to this case. I think we are going to see a lot more.

"Remember the storm front we ended up on the north channel... remember how I was going to round the pass.... the current legal predicament i'm in seems ... I may be blown against the rocks of an unkind jury..."

Oh geez. Here's the bomb.

This right here! How is this not bringing his TB charges in?

It was said at some point in the last trial that the redacted parts of the letters were messages of love between them and explicit sex talk. It was irrelevant to that trial.

In this trial, the fact that DM is trying to pass CN off as just one of his many women makes them relevant now. Or at least that's what the judge determined during this morning's arguments.

MOO

Millard makes analogy between sailing and standing trial. Tells Noudga " this is what happened; the night Laura disappeared I came over to your house, I tapped on your window... Laura was in the basement doing coke with Mark... You and I don't like coke..."
