Dellen Millard

There will be no preliminary hearing in the Tim Bosma murder case

HAMILTON - There will be no preliminary hearing in the Tim Bosma murder case. 

The Attorney General has approved an application made by the Crown Attorney last month for a direct indictment
 
28 year old Dellen Millard and 26 year old Mark Smich are both charged with the first degree murder of Bosma, who went missing in May of 2013 after taking someone on a test drive of his pickup truck.
 
Co-Counsel for Millard, Ravin Pillay called the ruling 'most unfortunate' saying the preliminary inquiry is critical for the defence to discover the Crown's case and there is no opportunity for the defence to appeal the direct indictment. 
 
The preliminary hearing was scheduled for September but those dates will now be filled with judicial pretrial dates.
