Hi, posting on this thread for first time. This is a horrifying case. Can I give my fresh HOO, on what I hear? I haven't been bogged down with all of the back and forth. And adding a disclaimer I know naught about Australian court law.
It sounds as though he is clearly choking, smothering, or otherwise restraining her in those approx 2 minutes before she begins to scream. I don't care what he is SAYING, his tone of voice suggests great control, no struggling with a psycho female. He is speaking for the benefit of his tape. When he complains about being hurt she meanwhile sounds as though she's struggling for breath. Many years ago I had a sick boyfriend that tried to choke me , all the while he was doing it he was softly speaking things like, "your crazy, why did you do that, what? Are you trying to say something" etc etc.
Also, at the end we cannot see what he is threatening her with to scare her so badly that all she can do is repeat "no" over and over. I close my eyes and see he scaring get with an object, fake gun, pipe, knife? To get her back up against balcony. All jmo.
Why are some taking his "words" on recording as Bible? He KNOWS he's being recorded. He reminds me of when my kids would fight. I'd hear my girl shouting "owe" from the other room, just to arrive and see SHE was bashing Him.!!!
Sorry to go on. Jmo, moo, ::cow::
