Millard’s appeal is dated and signed June 22 and was received by the Court of Appeal for Ontario on June 24. “The learned trial judge erred in failing to grant the appellant’s application to sever his trial from that of his co-accused,” is his first ground. He declined to say whether he is handling Millard’s appeal and whether he expects to be representing Millard at the Babcock trial. Millard and Smich were each found guilty of first-degree murder by a jury on June 17 after a 16-week trial. It is likely the Babcock trial will be completed before the court of appeal deals with the Bosma trial appeals.
