The Court of Appeal for Ontario agreed the trial judge properly addressed the relevant issues

The Bosma trial saw the two men try to blame the other for the May 2013 murder, framing it as a truck theft mission that unexpectedly turned deadly when Bosma — a stranger to them both —was shot.

Millard, the heir to his father’s aviation business and who represented himself on appeal, claimed he was cast as the perfect villain in the trial. During the March appeal hearings, Millard suggested he was too meticulous to carry out a murder he described as careless and sloppy.

But in the 51-paragraph decision, Justice Gillese disagreed. She wrote that there was “no unfairness as a result of the closing arguments” when considered in the context of the judge’s “clear, specific, and repeated instructions to the jury,” as well as the trial as a whole. “He addressed the allegedly problematic aspects of the Crown’s closing firmly, clearly, and correctly.”
