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

[Foxone1]

I believe MWJ also had a tattoo of an elderly man with a gunshot to the eye. I really believe there's more to this, some kind of symbol or deeper meaning in the "organized crime world". MOO

Gun shot to the eye = money

The way I see it, the actual investigation of WM's murder started in May 2013. The current witnesses are providing video and photographic evidence of what the situation was back in Nov 2012, and providing evidence of why a homicide investigation was not opened at that time.

There should be a lot more to come from investigators who started looking into WM's death in May 2013. The difference being that they certainly would not have had the opportunity to interview MB and DM at that time. So it's important for them to get their interviews from 2012 into evidence which is what they are doing now. Same with the photographic evidence of the crime scene. They've only got what was taken back in 2012 and want it entered into evidence, as well as showing certain things were not done properly, as they should have been in a suspicious death investigation.

MOO

Agreed with all you said here.

Or, if LE were really going to investigate this as a possible murder, why not make it look like something the guy who sold you the gun would do?

Or did you mean there is something more to the meaning of shooting someone in the eye? Isn't that a reference in the movie The Godfather?

MOO

Johnston says when she began taking Millard's statement, she thought Wayne Millard's death was a suicide. "I had no information indicating anything otherwise." #Millard

Johnston says she didn't speak with Mark Smich -- the person Millard said he was with that day, before he found his father. #Millard

Johnston says she didn't contact the homicide office after interviewing Millard. "I didn't see any need to contact them," she says. #Millard

Adam Carter‏Verified account @AdamCarterCBC 2m2 minutes ago
"I had closed the occurrence as a suicide," Johnston says, so she didn't interview other people about the case at that time. #Millard

Adam Carter‏Verified account @AdamCarterCBC 32s32 seconds ago
She says she got a call on Dec 1 from Dr. Evans, the coroner. He said the autopsy had been done, that she could release the scene at the home. "He confirmed the death as a suicide," Johnston says. #Millard

Hutcheon says that she never suspected Millard had anything to do with the death of his father. "He was quiet, he seemed cooperative ... he was kind of reserved." #Millard

**Note: I believe AC meant Johnston in this tweet. Hutcheon was the male detective that was on the stand previously.

"It became clear to you that they were labouring under the trauma?" Pillay asks about Millard and Burns, on the night the body was found. Hutcheon says yes. Millard wasn't "physically crying," but seemed upset about what he had found. #Millard

 

[Kamille]

Interesting that the male and female officers, both of whom also interviewed MB and then DM for almost an hour, seemed to have different perspectives regarding the situation.

Pillay asks if there was ever a discussion about doing the interviews at a different time, as it's a "traumatic" night. Johnston says she doesn't know. #Millard

Johnston says Hutcheon was the lead during the interview process. #Millard

**Pillay trying very hard to get those interviews tossed as evidence it seems.

I think the "elderly man" is supposed to be Robert Borden from the Canadian $100 bill.

"He was compliant?" Pillay asks about his client. "Yes," Johnston says. #Millard

Adam Carter‏Verified account @AdamCarterCBC 3m3 minutes ago
Pillay is now done. Lockhart is doing a quick re-examination. #Millard

Adam Carter‏Verified account @AdamCarterCBC 2m2 minutes ago
He's asking if she ever said Millard and Burns had to come back to do video statements. She says no, it was a request. #Millard

That's it for Johnston. The next witness is Max Bevilacqua. #Millard

Adam Carter‏Verified account @AdamCarterCBC 34s35 seconds ago
He's a Toronto police officer who has been there for 17 years. #Millard

I'm sure DM was labouring under the trauma. I would imagine that as a psychopath, he was aiming to get into the character of a sophisticated, mature & understanding son. The poor son who's now been left holding the bag of a company that his father feared would bankrupt himself. They say the 80/20 rule runs thru everything. Out of all the LE there, Hutcheon was the only one that was suspicious of DM. MOO

I have witnessed many gun shot victims who were shot or shot themselves in the head that were left alive and brought to Emerg. Dept. I even remember one who shot himself through the mouth and is still alive today, many years later. This was the father of a friend of mine. He resembles a stroke patient in many way.

That's why I had the thought that LB might have been practice for staging a suicide if he was plotting this for some time. Would this gun, in this position etc. work. It's not something you can afford to fail at.

As far as I know in Canada there is no value saved by buying bigger bottles.

I'm not sure, but it'll save you driving to the liquor store!

"He went into the room to check on him, and saw the blood," Bevilacqua says. He says Millard also told him his father was a "longtime alcoholic." #Millard

I've been thinking about this point as well, my theory is that DM guided WM's hand, maybe with a glove on, so he would be essentially holding his own hand over WM's hand to hold the weapon & squeeze the trigger. I'm sure there's a more concise way to explain this, but it's the best I can come up with right now.. it would present some potential problems doing it this way (can the trigger area accommodate two "stacked" fingers?), but it could explain the GSR.

I like this theory but my thought on it would be he smothered him first (essentially either killing him that way or incapacitating him) otherwise I sure there would be a struggle and I doubt you would get a clean shot off. IMO only.

 

[deugirtni]

It was kind of weird - the officer offered a 40 in response to DM's "what's bigger than a 26?", but DM's gestures seemed to describe a bottle more the size of a Texas mickey. If you drank a lot and were frugal, you might go for an economy size.

DM specifically asked what was the next size up from a 26'er, and officer said 40 ozer. He made the hand measurement, obviously exaggerating, because his hand made it look like he was talking a 2 foot bottle. Even if you take it to the next size, which is a '60 oz'er', that's still only average 4.3oz per night. A far cry from the raging alcoholism that was apparently portrayed to the medics on scene. I have myself witnessed functioning alcoholics who put down a 40oz'er per day, and still, amazingly didn't end up exploding with blood. Again, not to diminish alcoholism's horrible effects on families and people, but just saying. moo.

 

[mimimic]

It's seems so strange DM and MB mention being an alcoholic at this point. Man sleeping with blood on his pillow doesn't say alcoholic like a slip on the stairs or floor even...Wonder why they seem to think it is pertinent.
