If you want to take that angle, then his comments about being a bad girl, he'll be her slave, and other references should be put into the same context, no?
Which I do.

Thanks, I was thinking Broar was him as well. My only doubt about Aware is there is a horrible post by him in Feb 22 2015 saying 'he'd massacre everyone if he's put away'.
In feb 2015 the Toaster was supposed to be in jail though? What are your thoughts?
That is still your reasonable doubt. It is common ground that Tostee was assaulted with a metal clamp. So, was the force Tostee used to place her on the balcony proportionate to a potentially lethal stirke?

I will happily be proven wrong when you skillfully skewer me with the law that covers all of this. However, you won't present one.No, yes, no, yes, straw man.
I agree with much of this, TBH. The only thing I think is missing from this equation is what drove her to make that foolhardy choice, and it is that missing piece that leads to Tostee's guilt.
What I'm trying to understand is this: the crown argument requires that Rrie's actions could be foreseen by a reasonable person, while the defense states they could not. My question is for those who feel her actions could not be foreseen. What actions would a reasonable person foresee?
Not being Australian I don't know the perks allowed in prisons there but as he was on remand it may be that his privileges and access to computers/other gadgets might be better than for convicted prisoners. It's definitely him so he found a way!
@TheOtherChristina I was leaning towards her inebriation as the driving force to make that foolhardy choice.
But at the same time, how can 12 people in a room far away, long after the fact, accurately read what was in her mind with such certainty, that a person's very freedom or life should be taken away?When the law ties the jury's hands behind their back, pokes a stick in one eye, and tells them to go and find that needle in the haystack ... something is not right with the system or the law. imo
.
It's entirely possible he was about to phone the police to have her escorted out safely.I have a question for anyone who defends Tostee's choices. How do you envision the de-escalation playing out in a scenario in which Rrie does not fall from the balcony?
Let's posit for a moment that Tostee's intentions are good, no choking has taken place, his intent is to defuse the situation, and he has no reason to believe that she fears for her life.
He's inside. He's locked the balcony door. She's on the balcony. She is wearing pants, at a minimum. Her shoes are inside the apartment, as is her purse containing her ID, passport, keys and money. Her phone is unaccounted for. What happens next?
Oh ffs lolIt's entirely possible he was about to phone the police to have her escorted out safely.
so the jury are expected to disregard what he told her, which includes threatening to throw her over the balcony, in a murder trial where someone "went over the balcony and died???" make perfect sense to me! not!!!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead:
So she had no hand in the events that led to her being on that balcony?BBM: When she has been released from her cage (his balcony) and is allowed to leave his apartment with her belongings.
