What woman who just had their hair done and a conference the next day would go for a walk out in the elements, let alone a 14km walk.
I agree Radster, Ok so the prosecution are just presenting one witness after another and it doesn't seem like there are any gotcha moments but they are slowly building their case. The jury will have plenty of time to think about the evidence and look through the transcripts of each witness. Closing arguments will also pull the prosecutions case together and direct their focus on how they should view the evidence.
So far it appears from the girls evidence that Allison was at home when they went to bed, watching TV and GBC was there too. Allison ended up dead under a bridge 14kms away and that the cause of death was determined not to be from natural causes. Female screams were heard that night and her blood and hair were found in the boot area of the new captiva. GBC rang his family and the police way too early for a missing person presumed to be slightly late from a walk, then as soon as his father arrives he goes off somewhere in the captiva for 30 mins. Then when the police look in it later there are toys in the back that the girls say had not been in there and were going to be collected. He has fresh scratch like marks on his face that are very suspicious and I doubt if the defence will find anyone to say they are made by that razor. Allison has foliage from the carport area in her hair and clothes, having had her hair freshly done that evening. GBC had the means, opportunity and motive to kill his wife. That the girls may not have heard anything that night is not going to get him off. Kids can sleep very soundly. I am not buying into speculation that he drugged them.
Still lots of evidence to come. Nigel should not be discussing his evidence with anyone as he is in the middle of it, but thats impossible to monitor. I think the jury would be wary of his evidence given that he is the accused's father.
So suggest everyone sit back and stay calm. As to what is on tomorrow, it is legal argument so it could be anything about the conduct of the case. Could be to do with the media or evidence.
I think we have all been relatively well-behaved under the circumstances and deserve lollipops from Marly

Sorry if it's been mentioned , but are there witnesses today?
I feel that TM would have felt "sick at the thought of encountering Allison at the conference", because deep down she would have truly felt shame in knowing that her relationship with GBC wasn't right as he was still married to Allison. Seeing Allison would have reminded her of the wrong. By not encountering Allison she could in some ways avoid the feelings of shame. She could just play the game of justifying that the relationship was right. This is all my humble opinion. No matter how much people try and justify their actions it is impossible for people to not feel shame when they are doing something they know isn't right.
Truth, truth what truth?
:gasp:

Anyone else feeling a little underwhelmed at the first week?? I guess coz we've been on here discussing for so long, we haven't found out much that we didn't already know... Geez I hope they've got some good stuff up their sleeves!!!!!!Biggest thanks to everyone who's been retweeting and live reporting!!! Still hoping to get in there one day next week, or maybe the week after, towards the end... Drove twice over the bridge yesterday (my mum lives 5 minutes away) Was beautiful to see all the sunflowers
May justice prevail......
I'm sure there'll be "some good stuff" to come.
In just about every case spanning last few years CCTVs have proven their worth to Law Enforcement.
If I was a betting person I'd be putting all my $$s on CCTV footage from the roundabout.

Thanks Alioop. Is it correct that any witnesses can be recalled at anytime?? Or once they have given evidence is that it??
And yes it is to my BBM, unfortunately!
I'm more confused than underwhelmed. I too hope they've got some 'good stuff' up their sleeves, because so far there has been nothing, in my opinion, that justifies an arrest, let alone a conviction. But then, it is only the beginning.
I have been confused about this whole thing from the start - but have assumed that police have some damning evidence that has not yet been made publicly available or they wouldn't have arrested him in the first place - so there must be a lot more to come that we don't yet know about.
I sure hope so, because the thought that a father has been removed from his kids at a time when they would have most needed him, just because of some suspiciously shaped scratches on his face and some not so perfect marital behaviour, makes me feel almost as sick as the thought that he may have killed his wife.
Perhaps the truth is in "the bag"....the vac bag...which I'm sure would have been tested.
Forensic witnesses are going to be mighty interesting!!
