Revisiting the Tim Bosma murder trial, 10 years later

from Placeline Hamilton · host The Hamilton Spectator

A decade after the Tim Bosma trial, the story continues to horrify and fascinate those in Hamilton who lived through it and followed the case. The tragedy is self-explanatory. A young husband and father took his truck for a test drive with a couple of guys who said they were interested in buying it. But he never came home - they murdered him instead. When news of the other actions of the perpetrators came out, it  somehow made an already ghastly story even worse.  Ten years after the trial, Hamilton Spectator columnist Susan Clairmont – who wrote a piece in the paper looking back at the tale and the participants – joins Placeline Hamilton to talk about the whole thing. She also answers some questions about what's happened since that you probably haven't heard before.
