Tim Bosma trial: Dellen Millard's lifelong friend returns to testify
Follow our live coverage of the trial starting at 10 a.m.
Thursday in a Hamilton courtroom jurors will hear more testimony from Matt Hagerman, a lifelong friend of Dellen Millard, one of two men accused of murder in the death of Hamilton's Tim Bosma.
Hagerman testified Wednesday that Millard enlisted several friends to act as lookouts and help him steal a Bobcat tractor in the fall of 2012. The jury heard earlier this week that police were investigating the tractor as stolen.

Millard, 30, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 28, of Oakville, Ont., are on trial in Ontario Superior Court, accused of killing Bosma. Both have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
The two men had been involved in criminal activity together before, court heard Wednesday — but in the face of the Tim Bosma murder investigation, Smich was terrified that Millard would frame him, his legal team suggested.
The day's explosive testimony in the trial of the two men accused of killing Bosma opened a door into their world and the sometimes shady dealings within it. The jury heard about a toolbox that contained a gun, and Smich's endeavours to get rid of it in the days after Bosma went missing, as well as Smich's fears that Millard would frame him after he was arrested.
