I just don't get this. Why is Goodman upset??

Not sure - because the Crown requested immediate sentencing, and Goodman expected a break in between?

spanishshara · Jun 17, 2016

Let's say they're found guilty in their other trials. I don't say this in a positive way whatsoever but Bosma did not die in vein and his horrific death might have stopped these 2 from more - and potentially being serial killers. That this had to happen to stop them is just devastating but I'm so relieved Tim gets justice.

God, Smich must regret taking the stand. Potentially marks him as a rat, etc. All for nothing in the end. It must feel like a very personal rejection/failure. For now I don't share the 100% certainly that most of you have that this was the right verdict, but I definitely respect it and will assume the jury had a better sense of the evidence than I had and had made the best decision.

It may have gone better for MS if he remembered where the gun was. I think that memory glitch was extremely d*mning for him and solidified opinion that he was a liar.

Smich lying his azz off on the witness stand, didn't do him one bit of good. Tim can now rest in peace and the Bosma family at least know that justice was finally served on these two lowlifes.

It's a difficult task to decide someone's fate, Goodman tells jurors. This is best criminal system in the world, he says. #Bosma

Shannon Martin ‏@ShannonMartinTV 13m13 minutes ago Toronto, Ontario
Smich sits in the prisoners box, with his head down. Millard turns to stare at him, as he has 100s of times before #TImBosma

Goodman tells them that everything said between them in the jury room must be kept secret. #Bosma

Goodman reminds the jury that their deliberations are to remain secret and no-one is to know how they arrived at the verdict. #TimBosma

Alex Pierson ‏@AlexpiersonAMP 13m13 minutes ago
Judge thanking the job they have done. Sacrifice they have made. They are not to talk about what they discussed in deliberations.

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 13m13 minutes ago
"You must keep to yourselves your discussions, your deliberations, your vote." #Bosma

Lisa Hepfner ‏@HefCHCHNews 14m14 minutes ago
Everything said in the jury room must be kept secret, judge says. Criminal offense to disclose anything jury discussed on case. #Bosma

Adam Carter ‏@AdamCarterCBC 14m14 minutes ago
Goodman says the jury must keep their deliberations and vote secret. Disclosing it would be a criminal offence. #TimBosma #Bosma

Crown requests DNA order and a no-contact order. Judge is surprised by lack of victim statements. He needs some time. Sentencing 4:15 #Bosma

Alex Pierson ‏@AlexpiersonAMP · 7m7 minutes ago
Crown asks DNA order and non communication order.Judge is surprised by sentencing immediately. Asking for a few minutes...

Think Adam could have worded it better......

That cleared it up - thank you. When the reporters have more time, I'm sure they'll clear it up. I don't understand the lack of victim impact statements.

SnooperDuper · Jun 17, 2016

Alex Pierson ‏@AlexpiersonAMP 14m14 minutes ago
Sentenced immediately. No victim impact statements.

Colin Butler ‏@ColinButlerCBC 14m14 minutes ago
The jury has left court. No victim impact statements, according to the Crown, requesting they be sentenced immediately. #TimBosma

Date for sentencing coming. Family doesn't want to enter victim impact statements, given the verdict, Crown Tony Leitch says. #Bosma

Adam Carter ‏@AdamCarterCBC 14m14 minutes ago
Crown Tony Leitch is asking the two accused be sentenced immediately. #TimBosma #Bosma #HamOnt

I think it may have gone better for MS if he didn't take the stand! That screwed him big time!

Dion · Jun 17, 2016

Adam Carter: Goodman says he's a "little surprised," and needs some time to get his comments together. We'll be back at 4:15 p.m. for sentencing.

I don't get this - why and what is he surprised at?

Edited: ok - it was not the verdict he was surprised at.

There's no victim impact statement coming from the family now. They'll be entered later for the parole board. #TimBosma #Bosma

Justice Andrew Goodman seems upset. He says he needs time to prepare his comments. #TimBosma

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 15m15 minutes ago
Judge says he is surprised re: victim impact statements. He expected them. Wants a few minutes so he can prepare his own comments. #Bosma

I agree with you. Bad choice for him. He tried to raise reasonable doubt but all he managed to accomplish was showing that he is a liar and . His 'boy next door' image didnt work. Hooray! MOO

spanishshara · Jun 17, 2016

IMO MS lost his credibility as soon as he didn't know where the gun was or where he buried it.
