Bosma Murder Trial 02.11.16 - Day 8

[ArianeEmory]

I'm curious to know when and why the windshield got smashed.

I don't think the windshield was smashed, I think that was an imprecise tweet. (I saw the same one and initially thought the same thing, a reporter tweeted 'front window', but I think she meant front passenger window. Else she would have said windshield.)

I'm curious to know when and why the windshield got smashed.

Was there testimony that the windshield was smashed? I thought it was just the passenger window and that it was half way down?

Makes me think of DM's words:


http://news.nationalpost.com/news/c...rn-to-world-of-fast-cars-and-exotic-adventure

Funny, the US media never did show up to cover this case. Perhaps DM imagined he was more of a star than he is?

Still waiting on him (or his lawyers) to pick this case all apart...

Yeah, speaking as an east-coaster, everyone is obsessed with Steven Avery and Adnan Syed right now.

I have quite a few coworkers who relocated from Montreal a few years ago; I keep meaning to ask them if they were aware of this case and to let them know the trial is happening, but it's a weird topic to try to introduce in casual conversation.

EDIT: Kamille, see my post right above yours.

They have lots of family/friends here. (Bosmas)

I hope these guys are re-living every single minute of this senseless crime with the thoughts of spending the rest of their life behind bars. MOO

Unfortunately, in Canada that will amount to 25 years max. Take of mandatory parole, and that will be 15, take of pre-trial custody, and these guys could be out in 12 years

Heartbreaking testimony today. Wrapping Sharlene and Tim's loved ones in prayer for strength.

Seeing as DM is a little down this afternoon, I wonder this:

When the Crown provides disclosure to the defence in the case of the cell phone information, does the Crown have to provide as disclosure the lovely graphical presentation that took LE 60 hours to create, or just the raw data?

Because if the Crown only needs to provide the raw data like the sort of stuff we saw posted earlier in the affidavit that was on scrbd and the Spec...wow, that's mean, the defence would not be able to make head nor tail of that without hiring a consultant to interpret it for them.

So I wonder if it was a big surprise to DM that they had all that information from the cell phone records, and if this was the first that he clearly understood this disclosure?

Court now back in session.

No it is life max, and a minimum 25 years to parole...though if DM is found guilty in the WM and LC cases, he could be looking at minimum 50 or 75 years to parole.

We're looking at photos of the interior of the cab at the rear seat area. A shell casing can be seen in one photo.

<modsnip> I'm certain that since this is expert forensic testimony that we must make the assumption that everything was highly documented. If it wasn't, I'm sure the Defence will bring it up in cross. MOO

Yes I am sure it will be raised at cross as with anything else that is not making sense, I guess. thank you

Crown has argued Millard was in driver's seat, Smich in back, Bosma in passenger - and that he was shot at close range in his truck #Bosma

The shell casing markings say "WIN 380 AUTO." There's a dot where the primer would have been hit. It's a spent shell casing.

There's no early parole for first degree murder anymore. And if he's found guilty in a second murder he could be in prison for longer than 25 yrs.

Officer says it fell to that spot while they were examining truck. It was not on floor when they first began search of truck.

"Just a simple piece of Brad's. That's what's left. Just a shell." We can see the mark of the firing pin.

Sent to CFS to be compared to other unsolved cases and examined for DNA.

That casing was also sent to the Centre for Forensic Science. Would be checked against unsolved cases and checked for blood and fingeprints.

Now we're looking at the inside passenger door -- there are two red dots they believed were blood.

Mclellan: Shell casing had a small dent in the back. "Likely from a firing pin" that would ignite the round. @CHCHNews #Bosma #MillardSmich

Susan Clairmont &#8207;@susanclairmont 42s43 seconds ago
Blood spots on inside of passenger door.

 

[Tamarind]

Well there's a switch.....

Maybe Millard doesn't need to take notes about the blood as much as Smich does !!!
