Bourne, I have not seen any evidence yet of "DT or TT dropping their backpacks" although it is purported by authorities to exist. I have seen photographs that show that DT (and TT) each carried a backpack before the explosion and, after the explosion, DT was not carrying a backpack...

Louisepiglet, in relation to your question, I thought I would offer my opinion in relation to the law in Queensland. The Prosecution is required, in a criminal trial, to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the Defendant is guilty of committing the offence. This means that the Prosecution has...

:websleuther: I think the Committal Mention of 9 July 2012 revealed an important bit of information http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/police-wanted-five-month-delay-to-court-proceedings-to-unravel-gerard-baden-clays-finances/story-e6frf7jo-1226420987727. The Prosecutor's submission to the...

There is evidence that suggests that allegedly GBC may have planned to kill ABC eg. telephone call from GBC to ABC's insurance company on 12 April 2012 (7 days before ABC went missing), internet searches carried out from GBC's computer of "taking the fifth" and "self incrimination". There is...

Thanks Hawkins. While there is no specific statutory defence of somnambulism, the general principle applies under section 23 of the Queensland Criminal Code that a person is not responsible for actions "independent of the exercise of the person's will". That is, a person is not criminally...

Thanks for raising this. I am of the view that the Prosecution is probably being strategic in their approach by not committing to the place that Allison was killed (at least until they can prove it for sure). In order for GBC to be found guilty of Murder (assuming that he does not plead...

:websleuther: It seems unlikely from what we know that Allison had dressed to go running or walking before she died. Yet, GBC apparently reported what clothes she would be found in. He hadn't seen her going walking according to his account. One might then wonder what clothes, if any...

Thank you for your Post, Fuskier and for giving me an opportunity to clarify my previous Post 458 of this thread re. possible role of GBC's family members. I am not saying that I assume any particular fact, I am just saying what I consider likely based on what we know. I am just saying...

That's a good point, CaseClosed. I don't think we know where the body was exactly located when it was found by QPS as QPS may have taken the body out of the water. Also, in the alternative, I recall that it had rained shortly before the body was found and accordingly, the tide may have moved...

Mani, I suspect, for the following reasons, that Allison was dropped from the bridge: (a) the creek from the scout camp seems to be very minor and untraffickable; it seems incongruous that the body would stop travelling down the creek under the bridge at the very point where the water becomes...

Thank you for your thoughtful responses to the above question that was posed in the above quoted Post. Your responses suggest to me that it is unlikely that NBC and EBC would have been involved in any premeditated killing. However, I think it is more likely than not that if GBC had killed ABC...

Many of the posts on Websleuths have speculated on what involvement, if any, GBC’s family members have had in these events before, during and after the death of Allison. IMO, this alleged set of circumstances is any family’s worst nightmare. Imagine if your beloved adult child telephoned...

Kimster, in Australia, IMO, the right against self incrimination is not specified in the Australian Constitution. Australia has a common law (judge made law) right against self incrimination. IMO, this right against self-incrimination provides an immunity from an individual's obligation to...

I have added to the Chronology that Marlywings has helpfully posted (at Post 682 of this thread) based on other media reports of the bail hearing. In two items in the Chronology, I have provided the source as Nads' Post on the Bail Hearing. POLICE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST GERARD BADEN-CLAY MADE...

Starting from the point of view that the best incriminating evidence may be a confession from GBC or a person involved in the killing and or disposing of ABC, IMO, the QPS and Prosecution might strive to obtain a confession from the weakest link. For instance, making another arrest may lead to...

Thank you, Nads for sharing this most interesting information. My apologies in advance if this issue has already been explored. IMO, it is curious that ABC called the life insurance company in relation to her policies on 17 April two days before she was killed (19 April). The Courier...

I agree that social media has great benefits. Social media has helped people become informed and have opinions. A problem is that a jury is supposed to determine guilt based on evidence heard in court and not on what they have read or heard about the particular case. A legal issue may be...

This is my first post. I have read your posts with great interest from the very start and have enjoyed them immensely. Yes, I agree with itsthevibe (and CaseClosed at post 662 of this thread). According to section 16 of the Bail Act 1980 (Qld) and IMO, the Court can refuse to grant bail...
