I don't think he will !!No mention of Abbott today, wonder why. Do we think he will testify tomorrow?
If tomorrow is the last day, I would have thought he would take more than a day to give evidence.
I don't think he will !!
Abbott is not listed on the witness list and is not expected to give evidence to the inquest.

He wasn't listed for this week, as I understand, but I was hoping for next friday - maybe that won't happen either.
If not - why tf was he allowed to listen in - or do they plan to arrest him?
For Pete's sake. So, he got to listen to the whole inquest .. video linked in on our tax dollars .. got to ask questions of witnesses ... on our tax dollars ... and he is not expected to give evidence? At all? Or did he already give it behind closed doors?

Seems Laidlaw didn't have to do much at all in WT's case , just turn up to the inquest & sip on his coffees etc. From my observations the other team members did most of the day to day stuff at the inquest. Like wrangling TJ in & out of court, talking to witnesses & preparing them etc
GJ did the brief of evidence for the coroner ( Laidlaw just handed it up ) & got his 2IC Dukes to do a lot of the leg work on the strike force, not a bad gig really, leading into retirement?
I remember one day when court finished early ( may have been last day of the last tranche in Taree ) when FA complained about having to wait for someone to come and get him &he asked the Coroner could she let them know they were finished. She replied " Try knocking on the door Mr Abbott" & she just walked outDon't forget that the court took a break while he went to the loo.

"drsleuth I am hoping there is more going on behind the scenes TGY & that there is a method to this madness!!
yip its a sad bloody world when a 3 yr old vanishes ,in house fighting..bad memories a lawyer thing im sure...etc etc the list goes on and it all gets put away into a cardboard box without tapes being looked at..and what is with the probing of ground,dosnt anyone use a spade grrrrr and also if the women heard a scream on the 13th didnt ray say he drove Abbot on the 12th ?Jubes can likely say what he wants to say in I Catch Killers Volume II ... once William's case boxes are filed away on that cold case shelf.
Sorry JLZ, that is a flippant reply. I am truly just frustrated that William's case seems to have landed in no-mans land.
I hope like all heck that Craddock pulls a rabbit out of a hat, but I am thinking that is unlikely. Is this headed for an open verdict?
Yes, perhaps Jubes can submit a written submission to the Coroner that she may read and digest.
And yes, it could be that Abbott will exempt himself. Or just 'not remember' anything much from that time period.
I sure as Hell hope she goes for it. I can't begin to imagine how she's feeling through all of this.I do hope the FM ( & I think she will ) have her say tomorrow & I don't think she will hold back at all ..........
yes and now a professional is saying could be true may not be true ..whats the point of any witness thenYou would hope that there is, otherwise it's just a joke.
It's more or less disqualifying any witness testimony in any trial or even Inquest.yes and now a professional is saying could be true may not be true ..whats the point of any witness then
he wont rememberNo mention of Abbott today, wonder why. Do we think he will testify tomorrow?
