Ontario's highest court will hear appeals this week for the men who murdered Laura Babcock and Tim Bosma.
Dellen Millard and Mark Smich to have cases heard at Ontario Court of Appeal this weekIn this courtroom sketch from left to right, Ravin Pillay , Thomas Dungey , Dellen Millard, Mark Smich, Justice Michael Code, and Laura Babcock's parents Clayton and Linda attend the 2018 sentencing hearing for Millard and Smich in Toronto. Both men are appealing their convictions before the Ontario Court of Appeal this week.
The Crown says the evidence against the two men is overwhelming, arguing Millard enlisted Smich's help to carry out the July 2012 murder of his ex-lover to settle a love triangle with his girlfriend.Smich's lawyer told the court this morning a crucial issue in his appeal will be the argument that the trial judge failed to properly instruct the jury on determining Smich's liability for the murder, arguing the case relied heavily on his conduct after the offence.
While Millard is represented by a lawyer in his appeal of the Babcock conviction, he will represent himself in the other two appeals scheduled to be heard by the three-judge panel later this week.
