This is the Bosma murder trial daily discussion thread. The trial daily discussion thread is for discussion of trial evidence/testimony only, not for general discussion, posts about past threads, other members, etc. Off-topic posts will be removed.

Note: Only testimony that is published through MSM reporting (articles and tweets) is allowed. Keep discussion focused on testimony as it becomes public knowledge and remember to link up to MSM reporting of same.

Any testimony that might remain under Publication Ban, and any courtroom discussion that takes place when the jury is not present, is strictly off-limits. Posts that violate a Publication Ban, or discussion when the jury is absent, will be removed.


At all times, keep in mind Websleuths TOS, so affectionately referred to as The Rules.

There will be ZERO TOLERANCE for snarky or disrespectful posts and/or subtle digs at other members. Mods will not be PMing you with explanations, you will find your post has disappeared, or that you can no longer post.

There is to be NO name calling or name variations, not even of the accused.

There is to be no BICKERING between members. A difference of opinion is NOT a TOS violation. Some will think one or both of the accused are guilty, some will think one or both are not guilty, and some will be on the fence. All of that is okay and should NOT BE ATTACKED. If you disagree, that's fine, move past the post. If a post is offensive, alert it and let the Mods review it. If you respond to the post, both the offensive post AND yours will be removed and may result in other consequences.

Other reminders for reference as we have respectful discussion in each of the daily trial discussion threads:

Abuse of the WS Alert feature can have consequences including timeout or worse. Such abuse includes, but is not limited to:

• Overuse of the alert system

• Repeatedly alerting on the same poster

• Demanding a specific outcome

• Alerting on the same post more than once

Once you have alerted on a post, please move on without discussing it, and don't question the decisions of our Administrators, Moderators or Owners, and don't expect personalized responses with explanations about a particular decision.


The principle of “innocent until proven guilty” is for the court room … it is not required that Websleuths members adhere to that principle. Members are allowed to discuss, speculate, theorize, and judge according to opinions they develop from following the specifics of the case.

If you have any questions, PM a Mod and we will be happy to assist you. The main Mods/Admin for this trial will be Bessie, Coldpizza, and sillybilly.

Brendan Daly, friend of Mark Smich, one of two men accused of murder in the death of Hamilton's Tim Bosma, returns to face cross-examination Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Daly told the jury that Smich kept a gun in a toolbox at his mother's home and got a friend to move it after the arrest of Dellen Millard, the other man accused of murder in Bosma's death.

Live coverage begins at 10 a.m.

Justice Goodman hasn't arrived yet, so we're running a few minutes late.

The punctual judge is apparently late??!! :shame:

Where I am, the roads are horrible this morning. Even the main roads are ice. Hopefully roads are not that bad in Hamilton, but who knows where Judge is coming from.

Pillay says I take it this is very difficult for you. You don't want to be here. You don't want to betray your friend.
Daly agrees. #Bosma

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 15s16 seconds ago
Testifying against him feels like snitching, Pillay suggests.
Daly agrees. #Bosma

Daly tells court he doesn't want to be here. Feels like he's snitching. Under cross by Ravin Pillay, lawyer for Millard. #Bosma

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 45s45 seconds ago
Smich intimidated him and sometimes made him feel uncomfortable.
 
I still can't figure out what MS ever thought was "in it for him". I know motive doesn't have to be proven but it seems odd. We know DM wanted the truck, so what was in it for MS? The thrill of committing a crime?

IMO yes, it was for thrills. He was living a bored, dead-end lifestyle and he found an opportunity for some excitement with DM, the guy with the money and a similar taste for adventure. Edit: adventure to them = theft and murder. JMO
 
molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 44s44 seconds ago
Pillay: You were best friends. You testified that he intimidated you. Times he made you uncomfortable.
Daly: yeah, not often but yeah #Bosma

Colin Butler ‏@ColinButlerCBC 3s4 seconds ago
Brendan Daly agrees that his relationship with Smich was complicated and while they were friends, Smich made him uncomfortable at times

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 3s4 seconds ago
Pillay referring to his May 22 police statement. Daly says in it he doesn't hang out for long when he goes to Smich's to smoke weed #Bosma
 
"Testifying against [Smich] feels like you're snitching on him, right?" Pillay asks. "Sure," Daly says.
by Adam Carter 10:24 AM

Daly says there were times Smich made him uncomfortable. He told police in a statement there were times that he tried to stay away from him, though Daly says he doesn't remember saying that.
by Adam Carter 10:25 AM

Pillay reads from Daly's statement: "I don't hang out there for long though ... I go there, I smoke my weed and I kind of keep my distance and go home. Like, I don't want to be around, it puts me on edge, it really does. Like, once I kind of get high and he starts talking about all that violent stuff, and like, he makes jokes about stuff, but you look, and he's kind of got a serious face, you know what I mean."
