The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 18th June - Trial Day 6, Week 2

[UnfoldingTruth]

10:28am:

Senior Sergeant Curtis asked: "Is there anything that would have happened last night that could have set her off?"

Mr Baden-Clay replied: "I don't think so."

Senior Sergeant Curtis later asked: "You didn't get into a fight last night?"

Mr Baden-Clay replied: "We've had some challenges, but this counsellor recommended ... that we have a 15 minute session each day, each evening ... we had one last night and ummm, there were some difficult things that we talked about, but we then finished and we then talked about what were the plans for the today like the kid's sleepover and the seminar."

10:25am:

Mr Baden-Clay told the officers he had a shower and a shave and then checked his emails while sitting on the toilet that morning.
"I check all my emails while I'm sitting on the toilet, did that," he said.

"And then I was rushing because I needed to get all the girls up."

By all accounts, the counsellor recommended they have a 15 minute session every 2nd night- not every night as he has said. I still believe they had that discussion on the 18th (when NBC babysat) and that something else occured on the 19th- not their scheduled 15 minute discussions. (If they saw the counsellor on the 16th as it has been said, then the 18th-2 days later would fit with time for a session. JMO)

11:10am: "What conversation did you have last night with Allison?" one detective asked.

"We went to a counsellor on Monday, umm, and she as part of her strategy suggested that we spend 15 minutes a night, or every second night ... discussing issues, trying to rebuild that trust and for Allison to have an opportunity to vent her issues, or just ask questions or whatever ... " Mr Baden-Clay said.

"So we had a session last night.

"We'd been to a few [counsellors], but neither of us had really agreed on anything, but this one seemed reasonable."

Detective asks if Gerard meant "why aren't the girls up" in his text message to Allison if he claimed he was getting them ready. #badenclay

Gerard #badenclay spent 15 mins talking to his wife about his affair the night before which "wasn't much fun for me, to be honest".



Jamie McKinnell ‏@jamie86 22s

Later that morning #badenclay told police the night before Allison disappeared they had a 15m session discussing his affair ... @NewsTalk4BC

I wonder if this recorded conversation was fun...

 

[Groundedgirl]

I hope I'm not taking this out of context, but what does he mean by that?

Because he is being held accountable for his actions and how they affected others. Something a sociopath finds difficult to impossible to comprehend.

Edit: oh, the 15 min session. Well, he should take his medicine. jmo

He's having a pity party, and everyone's invited.

Officer says he doesn't want to alarm him but has to call in detectives from the CIB #badenclay

:floorlaugh:

Not trying to alarm you, but we think you're FOS and are calling in CIB

Thats about right..they smelled something off right from the start to ramp it up so quick.

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Why did GBC really go to the counsellor with Allison on the Monday?

The counsellor wanted to talk to Gered.

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 58s
He repeats he does not want to keep dredging up the past #badenclay

Because he wants to be able to keep doing it in the NOW .. IMO.

Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 56s

Gerard: It's not much fun for me to be honest. #badenclay



David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 58s

They had one of the sessions last night - 'it's never been much fun for me' #badenclay

Oh PLEEEASE!!!! I am sure he is crying because they are not buying his ******** shaving story...no other reason.

Does he mean Allison's father in law (his father) or her father?
