It's convenient. It gives them cover. It gives them people to practice their wicked ways with.Why do sociopaths marry?

An appeal is also warranted so the High Court can examine the issues arising from a defendant later raising an alternative version of events not put to the jury at trial.
The DPP says it poses questions of how an appeal court should treat an alternative explanation when the accused deliberately and tactically excluded it from their defence at the time.
It says Baden-Clay's decision to not only remain silent about how he killed his wife, but to lie about what he did, was a factor the jury could take into account.
Seems to me that's hugely important. If the case has set a precedent in the matter of GBCs defence team raising an alternate version of events which the jury was not given the opportunity to consider, then surely to goodness the DPP's appeal must go ahead so the law can be clarified for any such future cases.
I don't care if this takes forever as long as there is justice at the end of it.
we would all be better off with sociopaths contained. some of them hold high positions of power. my opinion onlyYes! Forever is an appropriate gaol term for this murderer! That would be justice.
All my own opinion of course.
