Ontario's top court dismisses Millard, Smich conviction appeals in murder of Hamilton's Tim Bosma | CBC News

The Canadian PressDellen Millard and Mark Smich were found guilty in 2016 of the first-degree murder of Hamilton's Tim Bosma.It's the second of three murder convictions to be upheld against Millard, after the court also dismissed the appeal of his conviction for killing his father.

Today's decision from the Court of Appeal for Ontario says the 2016 Bosma trial was hard-fought, lengthy and contentious, with both Millard and Smich raising cutthroat defences.But the three-justice panel agreed the trial judge properly addressed the relevant issues, and dismissed the appeals from both co-accused.

The trial saw prosecutors argue Millard and Smich jointly set out to murder Bosma — a 32-year-old Hamilton father who was a stranger to them — and steal his truck on May 6, 2013, bringing evidence to suggest the men then stripped the truck, hid the murder weapon and burned Bosma's body. The court is set to release its decision tomorrow on Smich's and Millard's appeals for the murder of Laura Babcock, the 23-year-old who prosecutors theorized was killed by the two men to settle a love triangle between her, Millard and his then-girlfriend.

The trial of the two men charged with killing Hamilton's Tim Bosma dominated headlines for months during 2016. Dellen Millard and Mark Smich were both found guilty by a jury.
