Brendan Daly, friend of Mark Smich, one of two men accused of murder in the death of Hamilton's Tim Bosma, returns to face cross-examination Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Daly told the jury that Smich kept a gun in a toolbox at his mother's home and got a friend to move it after the arrest of Dellen Millard, the other man accused of Bosma's murder.

Daly testified to a packed courtroom that his friend Smich became anxious and jumpy in May 2013 around the time Millard was arrested in connection with the death of Bosma, who vanished on May 6, 2013, after taking two men on a test drive in a truck he was trying to sell.

​Smich, 28, of Oakville, Ont., and Dellen Millard, 30, of Toronto, are on trial in Ontario Superior Court in Hamilton. Both have pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.

CBC reporter Adam Carter is in the courtroom each day reporting live on the trial. Live coverage begins at 10 a.m.
