And in doing that, in police’s eyes, now I’m a problem to them. “I was trying to protect Mark, I was also trying to protect myself and I was trying to hide evidence. “If I’d gone to them and thrown myself upon their mercy and told them everything that had happened, then I would have faced one charge. “I didn’t go to them begging for mercy, which is what they wanted,” Millard said. This is where his confession turned to conspiracy theory.īecause of the intense public interest and fear ignited by Bosma’s killing, Hamilton police were under extraordinary pressure.
