The focus on Friday was a “catty text” the Crown suggested may be at the root of Babcock’s murder. It was Feb. 12, 2012 — Babcock’s birthday — when a text message was crafted to hurt Babcock on her special day. It was on Babcock’s birthday in 2011 that Millard and Noudga really hit it off. After dinner at Medieval Times, the party adjourned to Millard’s Toronto condo to continue celebrating. Millard, 32, of Toronto, and Mark Smich, 30, of Oakville, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Babcock’s death.
