On Monday, Justice Andrew Goodman excused the jury until Wednesday morning as Smich's lawyers prepared their defence.Goodman remindedthe jurorsthey had yet to hearany defence or his final charge. "You are not to make any final determinations or conclusions until all that is complete," Goodman said.

When the jury returned Wednesday it heard Smichrecount how he and Millard came to view Bosma's truck and drove off with Bosma for a test drive. They were supposed to be scoping it out in anticipation of stealing it later.

Smich said that after they drove a short distance,Millard suggested he get out and follow them in Millard's Yukon SUV. Smichsaid hewas surprised, but got out and followedBosma's truck, as Millard had suggested.

Somewhere on a country road, he said, Bosma'struck swerved to the side of the road and stopped. Smich said he saw Millard get out and put what he thought was a gun into his satchel.

"He [MIllard]just said, 'I'm taking the truck' and goes and grabs some stuff from the back. When I got out, I walked around, and I seen a bullet hole in the window and Mr.Bosmalaying with his head against the dashboard."

Hearing these words, Bosma's mother ran from the courtroom. His widow, Sharlene, hung her head and cried.

Gun buried in a forest

On Thursday, Smichreturned with more dramatic testimony. Smichsaid Andrew Michalski,Millard's former roommate, handed him a toolbox after Millard was arrested. Smich said it contained drugs and a gun.

"Did you have any idea Michalski was bringing you a gun?" his lawyerThomas Dungeyasked. "No, no idea," Smich said Thursday. "I thought he was going to be bringing me a bag of weed."

Smich testified that he believes it was the gunused to shoot Bosmaand that Millard was trying to frame himby sending it to him.

"I was very scared at that time," Smich said. "I was confused. I ended up going out and burying the gun I jumped on my bike, rode out in the forest and buried it."

"Do you know where today that gun would be?" Dungey asked. "No, I don't," Smich said.
