The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 11th -12th June - Trial Days 2 & 3 - Week 1

[PrimeSuspect]

WHY WOULD NBC HAVE SEEN ALLISON??? Did she normally take in Durness St on her morning walk? Pop in for a coffee? Hardly. Wouldn't he have more naturally said something like "Dad, I don't want to alarm you but I can't find Allison." Or "Allison hasn't come home."

Sheesh.

and GBC trying to be calm, where'd we hear that before?

That's right. It should be yes or no. jmo

Where's Gerrie Nel when we need him?

As if you'd call your parents that soon, honestly .. if that was me and I was Gerald having an affair and knowing my wife was going to a conference that day where my mistress was going to be, I'd assume she'd decided to leave me 'holding the baby' for the day and had left me in the lurch. There's no way I'd think my wife was genuinely missing so soon.

This is what I was thinking - she was a busy woman out and about a lot - it would not be unreasonable to forget she had something on or something she forgot to mention?

Oh come on!

 

[Mrs G Norris]

and GBC trying to be calm, where'd we hear that before?

To whom it may concern, I'm trying to be calm, but I am really concerned about your / mother / daughter in law / friend / work collegue / other .. we need to propagate this myth erm I mean establish this 'emotional condition' before the police enter the picture as I need to control the narrative before they find out about T etc, thank you in advance, Gerald.

Nigel says Gerard asked him to vacuum and water the garden of a house he was selling. #badenclay

Which real estate agent does that?

More likely remove the vacuum used to clean an 8 week old car and a hose used to wash off certain things.

What?? I thought GBC was assisted in contacting Toni McH by his parents, on the quiet?

The way he'd been treating her, I'd think it wouldn't be unreasonable if she'd hopped a plane to Jamaica

[DrWatson]

I'm just waiting for the prosecutor to spring the trap for Nigel.... Surely this is the only chance they'd get to do that, isn't it?

Where the son's mistress would come and paint their house after the floods. You can see where Gerry gets it from.

Nigel says Gerard and Allison were a private couple. He says early on, he and his wife were asked to phone first before visiting. #badenclay

Nigel says Allison phoned his wife one day and said she wanted to see her. Elaine went over. #badenclay

Nigel says Allison broke down in tears and said she was suffering from some illness and needed help. Elaine sent Allison to their GP.

Nigel says Allison was sent to a specialist psychiatrist. He doesn't remember who. #badenclay
