Ontario's highest court has started hearing the appeals of two men convicted of the high-profile murders of Tim Bosma and Laura Babcock.
Both Dellen Millard and Mark Smich are appealing their murder convictions before the Ontario Court of Appeal this week. In this photo from left to right are Linda and Clayton Babcock, the parents of murder victim Laura Babcock, as well as defence lawyer Ravin Pillay and Millard, who watched via video link.
Babcock's parents sat in the downtown Toronto courtroom as the Ontario Court of Appeal began to hear arguments from the two men convicted of her July 2012 murder. There was evidence he helped Millard get an incinerator and later helped use it to dispose of Babcock's body, lawyer Richard Litkowski said. But there was insufficient evidence, he argued, to find he helped Millard carry out the murder itself.
Clayton and Linda Babcock, Laura Babcock's parents, speak to reporters outside the Ontario Court of Appeal in Toronto on Monday. Phone records placed Babcock, Millard and Smich in the area of Millard's house on July 3, the night she made her last outgoing call, to her own voicemail, before her disappearance.Babcock's parents, Linda and Clayton, told reporters they attended the appeal hearing Monday to represent their daughter.
