that was such a terrific moment, when , against all the odds and I will believe to my dying day, against all the legal advice available to him , he shrugged it all off and walked to the stand.
Well. I cried with joy when he did that. Because he was a man who lost all restraint when the opportunity to perform came his way. Gerard loves an audience, and his default position is that every one else is a fool, only he has the goods, but his ace card was his utter immovable faith that he , and only he , not his barrister, not his sister, not Bwana , only Gerard had the brains, the charm , the guts, the sheer irresistible capacity to weave a story and make it believable.
Of course, the reality was, , always was, he didn't have any of these attributes. None of them. He is a man completely fooled by his own public relations. There would be quite a few folk in Brisbane who would have recognised the scammer that they knew as Gerard in the dock those days.. all the women he played, all the men he snookered.
Those long hours when he was telling the jury, well. .. he was supposed to be telling the jury , but I suspect Gerard had an imaginary audience in view, about his 'hard , hard work ' in the early years of his marriage, he was only stopped from breastfeeding due to impracticality, but he did everything else, folks. Yes, Gerard, the Slave, and then there was Gerard the Genius, and Gerard the Mediator, and Gerard the Businessman Extraordinaire.... One never knew which Gerard it would be from sentence to sentence...
But the general overall impression, once it was all boiled down was, Gerard was a pig. a Pig of a man, a pig of a father, a pig of a extramarital squeeze, a pig of a businessman, a pig of a driver, even. There wasn't anything left after that inevitable conclusion was reached. Now he can be a pig of a prisoner, and I bet he is, too. Hard times for the rest of the blokes in that prison, because Gerard has 20 years or more to corner them and tell his tale again, and again, and again, and again, and.. but you get my drift.....

Hey all!
Good to see familiar faces today!:drumroll:
I feel a bit emotional. I think that nobody will ever make such an arse of themselves and testify the way GBC did, ever again. Through showing his true character, by testifying, he has made an example of what an Insurance Salesman's son with a pathology of greed might be capable of. Fathers of sociopaths will never let their sons make the same mistake. Nigel was asleep at the wheel, with his womenfolk swathed in purple oscillating around him. It has all been bizarre and may the lovely Allison know we are all embracing her.
Thank you JLZ.
But, I'm still left wondering: Does GBC have a non-parole period at the moment, or is that yet to be set - if at all? What are the parole conditions likely to be? There's been mention of factors such as remorse etc - which many feel are unlikely to happen. But, surely freedom would be a powerful motivation for an admission of guilt - or not????
Hey Poss, good to see you here. I remember all of your kind and thought provoking posts throughout this case. To me you are such a kind and gentle soul and it was a pleasure to be with you on this heartbreaking journey. You even named one of your possums after me and I feel very honoured. :hug:
What do you have in mind? A celebrity biography?
2027 is not that far away. I am dreading that he will be back in town and may even contact the girls...
Biggest mistake GBC made was testifying. So full of himself that he insisted being in the box. I will forever remember his demeanor and bs

It wouldn't surprise me if one of the conditions of his achieving bail would be no contact with the daughters.. they may make this stipulation themselves.. It must be a worry to Gerard that as they get older, they may remember that night waking up and finding themselves all alone in the house, mum and dad both gone. .
Because he did leave them there alone while he dumped Alison's body. It was Gerard's overacting being offended that it would be suggested that he would do such a thing that was the clue that he actually did that. He didn't like people knowing that he would do such a thing. Even he knew it was not the 'right thing'..
What a family they are. Olivia is just as likely to write a book about Christian problems , like having a brother imprisoned for murdering his wife , and how to overcome this inconvenience. . No doubt, Bwana will insert the lessons he 'learned' about the whole shindig into his 'Longer Better Marriage' counselling sessions. The Bro in Law will forbid the congregation from reading newspapers or listening to radio or TV again as he did before on pain of excommunication... life will jog along for them, they have the hide of rhino's. A pack of rhino's. Any family that could think up the crazed and crude idea of competing with a bereaved family by dressing in purple every day in court has not much going for it.
With the level of bankruptcy GBC was facing, I am sure he is happy to have a roof over his head. How much tax has it cost to us to put him there? *advertiser censored**hole.
