To those who are planning on going on Monday and maybe even keeping us updated... any chance you can put up your twitter handle so that we can follow you? (Is that allowed Marly?)
TIA
I have been here since day one. I have wanted justice for Allison as much as anyone of you but I'm going through weird feelings on this courtcase. Is anybody else feeling what I'm going through? I don't know how to explain it but I'm actually feeling scared and anxious about this. The excitement has ebbed and now I'm kinda feeling fear or dread. I guess I'm fearful of justice not being served and I actually am readying myself because IF/MAYBE he eventually walks free I know I will be a basketcase & will therapy (or something). It's crunch time...it's like I've been training for the last year and now the big race is on.
Anyone else feeling similar? Hopefull tomorrow I'l feel differently.
Please don't put me down with my feelings here as I'm wanting to share my thoughts?
Wasn't there talk from Hawkins early on that the girls said something "odd" to the police.

My thoughts are that:
Forensic evidence may exist which can provide the cause of Allison's death and any interference with her body and may be enough hard evidence against GBC.
BUT ...... just say that all of the circumstantial evidence that the Prosecution has isn't seen by the Magistrate to be sufficient to commit GBC to trial, then:
. surely the suicide theory would have to be either 'torn to shreds' or be substantiated with sufficient evidence which is not just circumstantial;
If that suicide theory cannot be supported by sufficient credible evidence, then:
. the questions remain:
- who delivered Allison's body to the Kholo Creek bridge? - SOMEBODY KNOWS!!!
. why was her body there? (GBC may have the answer)
. was it because she suicided at home? (GBC would have the answer - Yes/No)
. was it because she was accidently killed? (GBC would have the answer- Yes/No )
. was she murdered by GBC? (GBC would have the answer - Yes/No)
. was she murdered by someone other than GBC? (GBC may have the answer) ...back to square-one for Detectives.
In the absence of another person (accomplice) being found/named, and with all of this reasoning, then surely there is very good justification for taking the most likely person, GBC, to trial ........ he would still be 'innocent' until found GUILTY.
JMO ...... in trying to pre-empt what might have to be considered by the Magistrate.
I have been following here for many moon, like many of you but haven't posted much. It's my understanding at the committal hearing that the Magistrate has to determine whether a jury COULD find GBC guilty of the charges, not necessarily that they WOULD. Personally, I would be extremely surprised if the case doesn't go to trial.
Anemone, do you think that will happen just with the evidence as we know it, or are you banking on the Prosecution producing more evidence that you have a hunch that they have?
I have a hunch that they have more evidence, despite the Defence claim that it is not sufficient, but I feel that the trick for them would be to reveal enough, but not too much until the trial.
Wish I could go to the Court but I start work at 7.30am in Brookfield.
kiwijayne, I always remember that you were the first poster on this thread ..... "This lady is missing less than 1km from my house" ..... "I would go and search myself but I only moved here 5 months ago so unfamiliar with the area and I had a fall last week and have 2 broken toes. So you can imagine it is hard for me to walk long distances. We have been around and searched our property though."
We've come a long way since then ..... shed tears ...... lost sleep ...... become angry ...... experienced some relief ..... and now the build-up to seeing the perpetrator brought to trial.
The defence team would have all 433 statements. One cannot in a demoncratic society withhold statements from the accused. He has a right to defend himself and receive a fair trial. This is not achieved by "blindsiding" him with new information at trial. I believe both the prosecution and defence agreed on the witnesses that would be examined at committal. Just because the majority may believe GBC is guilty, this does not negate the principles of due process and receiving a fair trial.Anemone, do you think that will happen just with the evidence as we know it, or are you banking on the Prosecution producing more evidence that you have a hunch that they have?
