I wonder if these interruptions by the judge - and in this case I believe the judge is completely mistaken - could be grounds for an appeal should DM be found not guilty?
FYI
Not really sure I'd call this a burner phone. I'd assume Millard got his new Samsung on the first. The iPhone was likely what he was using previously. Both are expensive smartphones, where burners are generally the cheapest phone you can buy. Also, both phones are indeed registered to Millard, not a fake identity.
But in reality, how many of us have come in to find a dead body, and when we do, being laymen, how do we know for SURE that body is dead, gone, too late for any type of resuscitation? And we don't even touch that body to feel that it is cold and feels different? Didn't he say to his mom, 'I think he's dead', (according to his statement)? So instead of not trying to help at ALL, and instead of even making a call to someone who could potentially get there quickly TO help, he calls his mother who lived.... how far away?? And what does the mother do?? Instead of calling 911 herself, or telling her son to call 911, she says she'll drive over?? None of this is normal.
Sure, but my point is that the man didn't even touch him to KNOW if he was cold or stiff, and he didn't make that call at all. DM is not a trained pro (or perhaps he is) in dead bodies and death.
Didn't Smith say later on that he didn't touch the body, or am I remembering incorrectly?
Which residue would never be found, since nobody bothered to check *anything*!
Why go through the cat door when the sliding door was unlocked and possibly open? Maybe it was one of the cats, the one on the arm of the chair. Whodunit!?Pedo carried it home, entered through the cat door, AND shot WM.Speculation of course.
yes! Wow yes.
I think one way to look at it for those who think she's been unreliable and dishonest is that if she has ever been dishonest in her trial testimony it is partly specifically because she's changed her life. If she's fudged her knowledge or her involvement in any way it's because her new life and efforts towards it could feel at risk. If she still had the priorities and loyalties of her old life - not ratting, not helping the cops, being "solid" etc. etc. she'd have nothing at risk and could just stonewall. Instead she's taken the path that any of us would have, and testified on behalf of the Crown and society, however imperfectly. Even with her flawed evidence, I think she compares favourably to witnesses like SS, the Lisas and CN, who were making every effort to effectively not contribute on the stand. MM has always wanted to contribute, and I think that's very much to her credit.
