Bosma Day 44

[projekktor id=’23914′]

Dellen Millard through letters to his girlfriend while in jail, tried to get witnesses to change their testimony in his case. That’s what the jury heard today, when Christina Noudga continued her testimony in the Tim Bosma murder trial.

We heard the beginning of those letters at the end of today, but first we heard more about May 9, 2013, three days after Tim Bosma went missing. That’s when Christina Noudga helped Millard move the Bosma truck to his mother’s house in Kleinburg, and then helped him move the incinerator from the barn to a hiding spot in the trees. That’s why she’s charged as accessory after the fact in this case.

Christina Noudga maintains she knew nothing of why she and her boyfriend dropped off a trailer, moved an incinerator and took a toolbox to a friends house all in the middle of the night. The next day, May 10, she was frustrated that she hadn’t heard from Millard. His mother called and Noudga went to Kleinburg to meet her. That’s when she heard he had been arrested. The women checked into a hotel to avoid media but first they went back to the trailer still in mom’s driveway and wiped off all their fingerprints.

Noudga and Millard both admit to writing each other in jail and she didn’t destroy most of the ones she got. Millard is very romantic in the letters which was a change in their relationship, Noudga testified. He told her about life in jail. At one point he says he cried in his cell until he saw his arm tattoo: “I am heaven sent. Don’t you dare forget.” He also worried about his friend Andrew Michalski, who he knew had told police Millard wanted to steal a truck from either a nice guy or an a-hole.

In one letter Millard says: “if he knew his words were going to get me a life sentence, he’d change them. Show him how he can and he will change them.”

Noudga says she did not contact Michalski as Millard asked. She was less and less in love with Millard the longer he stayed in jail. We’ll hear more from the letters Monday morning.
