70 witnesses! Lawyer for JC sounds like he is barely on board with his client. My only question is how many people were involved in Novy's disappearance. Happy this has finally come to trial.

Friends painted such a sad picture of the chardon marriage: but one image will stay with me. A ‘devoted’ mother who ‘hates’ her husband so much she eats dinner alone - without her kids - in her bedroom. @7NewsBrisbane 3.5 weeks to go #chardontrial

When friends confronted chardon ‘where is novy what have you done?’ He replied ‘you’re exaggerating. She’s cooling off. She is evil. Greedy’. Police say she was dead @7NewsBrisbane #chardontrial

CHARDON TRIAL: Crown says police were able to prove John Chardon hired a carpet cleaning machine the day after his wife went missing on 6 February 2013. Her body has never been found. @sunriseon7 @7NewsBrisbane

An article in today's Courier Mail says that Novy's friend, Deborah Manduapessy, was told by Novy that Chardon was having sex with other women when he went to Indonesia .. and also with children there aged 16 and 17.

Many times she asked Novy what she saw in Chardon, because Novy was an intelligent woman and was beautiful. She said Novy genuinely loved Chardon. Novy said he seemed a different man when she met him, but it had all changed.

The court also heard that Chardon took off for Indonesia two days after Novy's disappearance.

The trial continues on Monday.

In the years she had seen eyelash technician Jane Elizabeth Padden, Ms Chardon spoke of being unhappy in her marriage and her want for a divorce.

Ms Chardon fell in love with a younger man when the couple separated in 2012, but was later devastated when he left her.
The court heard she bought a secret house in her home country and told relatives she was afraid.

Affairs laid out at Qld man's murder trial - 9News
 
A Gold Coast woman allegedly murdered by her husband told a neighbour that if she did not return from an overseas trip then he had "probably killed her", a court has heard.

She feared for her life, she told me that," Mr Liscombe said.

"She said that if she didn't come back from an overseas trip that John had probably killed her or organised for her to be killed."

The court heard Ms Chardon asked him to go to the police if she failed to return home.

Wife feared own murder, court told
 
I first saw Chardon in the box in Southport, ugh... Am planning on attending court today or tomorrow - anyone else in the gallery from WS?

I don't think so MM.
Many of us here are really wrapped up in the William Tyrrell inquest at the moment.
It is a shame that these two things are happening at the same time, because Novy is not getting her usual attention from us.

Thanks SA - I'll go for short sessions when I can, and report back.
 
Tuesday 20August 2019 - court attendance by me - 10-11:45am (the morning session).
Location: Court #7 on 4th floor, Supreme Court of Australia, George Street, Brisbane.

IMO: Some years back, I attended court in Southport where I observed the accused JC to be dressed in stubbie shorts, and of a very scruffy appearance - he appeared to be nervous; continually looking for attention. Today in court was a totally different individual. Dressed in a black suit, his appearance was that of what I would consider to be 'business-like'. He was attentive of the court process and remained silent.

The jury is made up of 7 women and 5 men (all of Caucasian appearance) - approx 30-60 years of age.

First witness on the stand was someone new to the witness list - a rel estate agent from Upper Coomera and his interaction with JC on 5February 2013. (Note Novy disappeared on the night of 6February). The witness is Mr GWB. ... JC attended the realtor's office to enquire of properties for sale and agreed to attend an open house at 5pm the same day 5February. JC was accompanied by his two small children at the open house inspection - explaining that his wife had told him to move out and so he was looking for an alternative property for himself. Witness used the following words... "the f... b... kicked me out are the crass words that JC used with me."

JC did not follow up with the realtor after this inspection, and did not attend the auction of the property. Mr GWB has had no contact with JC since 5February 2013.

Witness Mr H is the owner of a company that supplies security alarms, cctv etc with JC being a client for both the private residence at 93 Bridie Drive, Upper Coomera as well as the business of Candan Industries in Chetwyn Street, Loganholme (owned by JC).

Of note 6 February 2013:
Activity report 5:15:46pm alarm armed
Activity report 6:58:39pm alarm disarmed
Activity report 6:59:59pm alarm armed

[I understand this relates to a proposed argument by the prosecution that this was the potential of JC attending his place of business to collect a firearm]

There is cctv footage to support that it was JC who attended to create this activity report.

Further witnesses in this morning session fit into 2 categories:
A - claimed sightings of Novy's vehicle parked in Kopps Road, Oxenford on the afternoon of 6February 2013.
Three female witnesses - LdeM, CM, AE - see attached maps generated by me for detail of the evidence as given (with added comment by me from my personal experience). Similar maps were used in the courtroom.
B - claimed sightings of Novy's vehicle parked in Bowden Court, Nerang where it was recovered by police on 11February 2013.
2 female witnesses HJ and MDS. Identified the location of the Blue-Black Volvo (Novy's vehicle) - 1st witness Sunday 10Feb 8:30pm; 2nd witness 9Feb 11pm - this witness was also of the opinion that the vehicle was present as early as on the evening of the 8thFeb.


..................

I plan to attend court again next week.

I see that he has a female Supreme Court judge for his trial. Why do I get the feeling that this will irk him?

She is wonderful !
And the jury seems very attentive.

I gave my testimony this week. Cannot give any details until the trial is over, apart to say how wonderful it is that so many locals have come forward. Its a scary thing to testify in the Supreme Court but scores of people are doing just that because its the right thing to do and all want Justice for Novy.
