I found this article interesting. An argument is put forward (by a Qld lawyer) that circumstantial evidence can make a case harder to defend than one with direct witnesses, and that the circumstantial nature of the evidence in this case has been to the advantage to the prosecution: "When asked...

Gerard Baden-Clay murder trial: What the jury wasn’t told Conducting more than 1500 separate lines of inquiry, police: * Found a car similar to the couple’s Captiva was recorded on grainy traffic camera footage at the Kenmore roundabout. * Discovered Gerard pursued numerous women in a...

She would have been seen by someone driving along Mt Crosby Road for sure. It's a dark stretch, and you would have to walk close to or on the road, especially at night. There is not much traffic at night, but it's a long road, and at some point, if Allison had walked along that road, someone...

I wonder if the reason why the roundabout, NBC at the roundabout or the two cars being sighted at Anstead were not mentioned at GBC's trial is that there is another arrest to come where this will become relevant. GBC's strong reaction to Fuller's suggestion that he left the children at home...

Agreed, Doc!

Du machst das super -you're doing great! :loveyou:

If I remember correctly, media reported in the very early days that police were searching supermarket dumps in Bellbowrie and Kenmore. They didn't say what they were searching for. This was when I first thought that police must suspect foul play. Why do that in a missing persons case, especially...

I wondered about that too, Freya. Does anyone know if the defence asking the questions means that the prosecution have finished questioning that witness, or if they can come back with more questions after the defence finish??

The Fig Tree Pocket Tower connection was recorded at 6.31am on 20 April. I am not sure of the exact time of the recognition on GBC's find my phone app, but I understand this occurred during a police interview with GBC at the BC home later that morning.

I seem to recall from the bail documents that the Figtree Pocket tower registered an internet connection to Allison's phone at 6.31am on 19 April. How does this gel with the find my phone app on GBC's phone locating it at 61 Boscombe Rd Brookfield later the same morning? Could this indicate that...

I think the issue is whether it can be established how long ago the hair was bleached if it was, i.e. very recently (same day) or some time before.

I hope so, Bobbie. Reading and hearing the witness statements in the last week have made me feel rather confused. None seemed to be very strong on their own. I hope that all circumstantial evidence taken together will in the end paint a convincing picture, without reasonable doubt, of what...

:goodpost:

Why only four days per week? And what's tomorrow about - anyone know?

New member but long time reader here. Have finally decided to join. I live about 2 minutes away from where Allison was found, and every time I drive over that bridge, I think of Allison. I didn't know her but I somehow feel I do now - so sad. I look forward to seeing justice done. It won't...
