Thanks Alioop for your report.
Perhaps Elaine is just not doing the public thing any more. Could she have become detached? She was in a rush to leave the courtroom before hearing the victims' impact statements at the conclusion of the original trial. You would have to know the woman to know whether indignity or fatigue is driving her actions. I do wonder whether the stark realisation that 'A Current Affair' wasn't going to deliver a big payday for their story was the last straw.EBC didn't seem to make an appearance?
An inmate at Brisbane's Wolston Correctional Centre, Baden-Clay wasn't in court for Friday's two-hour hearing in front of 200 onlookers. His father Nigel and sister Olivia Walton sat at one end of the room, separated from more than two dozen of Allison's family and supporters and many more law students who packed out the large Banco Court.

Actually I have another thing on my mind. I seem to remember that Olivia had applied to the Family Court to be custodian of the girls and the decision was to be made after the appeal.
As the girls are now 100% in the care of Allison's family, I trust that this won't continue. Do we still need to guard the door? Anyone know?
Oh Trooper, we have missed your writing skills. I wanna be a parole officer. Wonder who will be on-line for the parole.

Respectfully snipped.ahh well , he is not actually saying it.. his barrister is floating the concept, seeing if it will sail on , a testing of the waters... highly unlikely to float.. at this stage of Gerard's life, it is all about words, concepts, possibilities, perspectives.. from the side where law lives, its about fact and evidence.. .. . Gerard will let anything be said that has the merest chance of raising interest.

It's interesting that GBC's previous legal team had not tried that direction. Probably they thought that his emails and promises and also prompt calls to insurance company kind of speak of some plan in place. I can imagine that GBC indeed did not intend to kill his wife on that particular night -- only because he most definitely had some other murder scenario in mind, some time soon.
Did anyone choke on their cornflakes while reading the Sunday Mail today? GBC is front page as usual but has "found God". Can someone tell him all prisoners try this? Apparently he is sleeping with bible next to his bed and reads the scriptures to comfort himself through the ordeal until his innocence is proven !!!?? (Apologies to anyone who has a sincere religious belief).
Leaked letter from prison reveals Gerard Baden-Clay ‘looking forward to the opportunity to clear my name’
He had been exercising in jail, and on his fitness he wrote that he had “suffered a couple of minor injuries recently that have somewhat curtailed my physical training”. :lol:
At the end of the letter, which was signed “G, he quoted from the book The Chamber, by John Grisham, which he had been reading in his cell.
“Weird things happen within our absurd judicial system. Courts rule this way one day and the other way the next.
“The same judges reach different conclusions on *familiar issues.
A court will ignore a wild motion or *appeal for years, then one day embrace it and grant *relief. The Supreme Court drifts one way, then another.”
