Ahh, thank you. Wish there was a thread for that case!
Of course the grub is....
Speaking of wedding rings, was super Todd wearing one?
(Joking)
ETA just saw your post re TF squizzey, this is my last reference, promise
- Heated argument over TM.
- Argument becomes physical - slaps, scratches.
- GBC restrains ABC.
- In the course of restraining ABC, GBC smothers and kills her.
- GBC panics and hides the body, then concocts a story that ABC must have gone walking.
- GBC killed ABC
- The killing was unlawful
I wouldn't pay any heed to that. Yesterday they were saying the jury had retired to deliberate.

#BadenClay judge tells jury not to do their own research after jury member takes document to deliberation room @7NewsBrisbane
1:16pm: The material downloaded from the internet related to commentary from the United States about the role of a jury.
"You scarcely need to know what some overseas commentator speaking about a different system happens to the think," Justice Byrne said.
1:13pm: The jury has been called back into the courtroom for another direction from Justice Byrne.
"There's been an important matter drawn to my attention," he said.
Justice Byrne said a juror had downloaded material from the internet about how a jury might deliberate its verdict.
"I expected that my direction given twice orally and once in writing that you must not inquire outside the courtroom about anything that related to the trial was clear and emphatic," he said.
"What was done was wrong."

1:35pm: Justice Byrne discharged the jury once more but asked them to return minutes later for him to reiterate his instructions to them, at the request of the prosecution and defence counsels.
"I draw your attention once more to what I said on this topic. You must not inquire outside the courtroom about anything that relates to the trial. So you must not use any aid such as a text book to conduct research and, except in this courtroom, you must not in any seek or receive information about questions that arise in the trial, or about the accused, or about witnesses or the deceased," he said.
"For example, conducting research using the internet, or by communicating by someone by phone, email, or on Twitter, through any blog or website, including the social networking websites such as Facebook, Linked In or You Tube.
"Thank you for your attention."
The jury has resumed its deliberations.

1.22pm: The jury requested further information from Supreme Court Justice John Byrne.
The jury re-entered the court room at 12.38pm.
Justice Byrne told the jury they would not receive a copy of his summing up at the request of the prosecution and defence counsels.
It retired again to deliberate shortly after.
The jury returned to the court at 1.10pm, after they had been deliberating for two hours.
Justice Byrne said he had three times warned the jury not to enquire of anything to do with the trial outside the court room.
He said a juror had apparently downloaded from the internet material on how a jury might approach its great responsibility of deliberating on a verdict.
He thanked the jury for bringing the matter to his attention.
Now everyone appreciates a jurors job is rarely easy and we all understand a juror are often anxious about performing their role, he said.
They want to do it well and responsibly and will look for assistance. But I repeat, that assistance must come from the court and only from the court, and not some external source.
Justice Byrne told the jury they had a guide to deliberating in a form that was approved by the court available to them in the jury room.
You scarcely need to know what some overseas commentator speaking about a very different system of jury trials, happens to think. So the document will be retained by my associate and not returned to the jury room.
He reminded the jury not to enquire outside of the court room about anything that related to the trial.
You must not use any aide, such as a textbook to conduct research, and except in this court room, you must not in any way seek or receive information about questions that arise in the trial, or about the accused, or about any witnesses or the deceased, for example by conducting research using the internet, or by communicating with someone by phone, email or Twitter, through any blog or website, including social networking websites, such as Facebook, LinkedIn and You Tube, he said.
The jury has returned to its deliberations.

So these documents that were handed to OW - interesting! If there was a court proceeding to happen then would that be registered somewhere? Can we look into that and find out?
Otherwise I just tend to believe it would be the bill as someone most succinctly pointed out. Obviously legal aid covers most stuff for GBC but I can't see the BC's not wanting to add in a few bells and whistles from their barrister that they would have paid for to assist dear Gerard come out unscathed.

Hello.. I have followed this case since Allison went missing & quietly followed the threads on WS from the very beginning. I only recently joined this site as I wanted to say a big thankyou to all the people that have posted over the last 2 years. Like alot of you, I have felt a rollercoaster of emotions during this time & learnt a bit more about life & how very precious it can be..
I hope & pray that justice is done for Allison, her Parents & her Girls.. :angel:

About 180 items were submitted as evidence, including photographs of scratches on Baden-Clay's face and photographs of a trickle of Allison's blood found in the couple's car.

Someone posted a link to a song on here dedicated to Allison a few nights ago ~ after the defence put forward their closing argument and my mood was one of frustration and anger for a woman I never met. The song, Mazzy Star's "Into Dust" http://vimeo.com/30078922 is hauntingly sad and gave me goosebumps. I felt so so sad for a mum, daughter, sister, niece who was treated so poorly in life by her husband and even worse in death. Until hearing this song and imagining her last thoughts and her body just dumped in that dark, cold, damp, horrid place my focus had been praying a guilty verdict would keep those 3 young girls away from GBC & in the safe arms of the Dickies. Now, I'm praying for the woman left out in the dark and for a future for her girls away from these people.
Sorry for the ramble but I'm just so sad. And whoever posted the link to what will always be to me, Allison's song, the other night, thanks.

That's murder the way I see it. If he's smothering her then that's intent. Intent = murder. The intent does not have to be to kill her. Intent to cause grievous bodily harm which in turn causes a death is murder.
IMHO only.
If a guilty verdict is handed down,then a case for an accessory after the fact be sought?
No. The restraint might be intended but the consequence of that restraint (smothering leading to death) might not be intended. If intent is not established beyond reasonable doubt, the accused is not guilty of murder.
This is why so much hinges on the circumstantial evidence that GBC wanted his wife dead.

Not quite sure this is true. The judge indicated that intent to cause GBH which resulted in death = murder

So if he covers her mouth and nose "restraining" her till she dies, that's not intent? When she's clawing at him and clearly suffocating, how is that not intent? He'd stop the restraint. He has no right to restrain her anyway. What exactly constitutes GBH?
