Wayne Millard Murder Trial - Dellen Millard Charged With Murder - #1

[swedie]

If anyone can recall, was Michalski living there at the time? I don't remember previously hearing about him being there with DM and MB (and maybe JS).

AM moved in about a month before TB's murder.
I wonder if AM will be called to the stand.

Hutcheon asks Millard if he had guns in the house. Millard says yes, in the past he definitely did. #Millard

Millard says there's a safe in the house that used to have handguns in it -- but about two years ago, Wayne said he gave all his guns away, he says. #Millard

Millard again says he didn't think his dad had any guns left. #Millard

Millard is very calm in this video. Speaking very measuredly. Millard is watching the video of himself in the courtroom, taking notes. #Millard

 

[Errrr]

If it was just the money that he wanted, then he killed the goose that laid the golden egg. I would think that if he waited a few years, he'd be more likely to inherit a profitable, smooth running operation that had its loans paid off. But I agree that he just took what he wanted, whatever he happened to think he would get from this ... perhaps just a big hanger where he could play with his cars. His logic defies all reason.

Business profits in the future were going to be dependent on DM doing work and he wasn't prepared to do that. His dad already told him his plans to attend BAHA were off because he would be running his new business. Imagine a drug dealer living in his parents basement being offered a million dollar business to run for legitimate money and turning it down.

Millard says the basement of the house is set up for parties. "We tried to make it look like a club." #Millard

One of the officers says there were drugs down there. "We smoke pot," Millard says in the video. "Do you grow it?" she asks. "No," Millard says. #Millard

#Millard says the front door is always deadbolted from the inside. He says his dad is good about going around the house at night and locking the doors. Hutcheon says his dad's sliding door wasn't locked. Millard says that's not unusual, as he's been smoking in the house more

"Was your dad depressed at all?" Hutcheon asks. "He had depression in him ... he carries some great sadness with him throughout life, but I never really knew what it was. He never wanted to share it with me," Millard says. #Millard

So he didn’t say anything about the gun being a gift from him? Just that there were no guns. Can DM saying in the Laura murder trial that he bought the gun for a present be brought up in this trial ?

Hutcheon asks him if he took or moved anything from his dad's room. Millard says no. Also asks if he saw a note anywhere, Millard says no. "I wasn't looking for one." #Millard

Wow, sure laying it on thick to make it look like Wayne was awful stressed about finances.

Perhaps this is what made him act. Funds were already depleting and if Daddy had a new love interest he might decide to make her a beneficiary?

 

[Ontario Mom]

This is is very strange response IMO

The idea that he even asked him seems rather strange to me. It's not as if DM was 8 years old or anything.

 

[JoS13]

This is is very strange response IMO

Yeah... he wasn't asked to elaborate on what he meant by that? My first thought is that he means "as long as is doesn't change anything with regards to my role in the company or my inheritance"... So his father's happiness is only secondary to his own wealth. This is also telling in terms of a possible motive.
Than again, he could also just be referring to illegal activities that go on around the house (drugs, etc.) or any other illegal "missions" that WM may have known about.

 

[andreww]

This is is very strange response IMO

Even stranger that he wasn't asked a follow up question? What possible legal issues could his dad having a girlfriend cause him?

My bulls**t meter is flying off the dial with that last comment!

I don't believe any statements made in the past trials can be used against him in this trial. (Unfortunately.. IMO)

No questions about him ever seeing that particular handgun before during the interview. That answer may have blown up on him in this trial.
