Troops - Todd was calm but has a quick questioning format down pat. He fires these questions off in rapid succession and they don't necessarily have to do with anything he has been previously talking about. So its like,
I put it to you at 4pm you purchased baked beans from Woolworths? And of course you were calling your best mate Bruce at 5am right?
And by the time he has gotten to the third question GBC is struggling to bring the lie around to match the truth and keep the questions going. Fuller is aggressive but not overtly - simply dominating from his voice. His body language was strong and mostly passive but not passive aggressive.
Fuller was incredibly powerful today. His persona took over when he was questioning the witnesses from the defence. Basically these guys needed to go home and lick their wounds after Fuller had dissected them. One would think Mr Fuller had a degree in toxicology the jargon and depth of conversation that he was able to engage with the expert. Stunning!
Fuller NEVER raised his voice, he was articulate, in that he never said ummm or hesitated when he asked a question. Sometimes he even took his own sweet time to ask. But usually it because he was about to lauhch into those rapid fire questions but just in a simple conversation voice that really - it really troubled GBC - and got him unstuck quite a bit.
When he was summing up GBC was very irritated by his questions, (Fuller-) I put it to you that you smothered your wife, she scratched you and you dragged her body to the car port where she picked up the plant material and you then took her to Kholo creek. Well GBC was drinking his water and denying the truths all over the place.
Danny was great too - but forgive me the Umm factor was annoying, but I think it is part of his 'way'. He looks slow and help me out here - I am not catching on to this and BANG he blows their witness. Well that is what happened to the last guy on the stand today.
Not sure this is what you were after troops, I was so impressed with Fuller and Boyle today, they were undeniably professional and so brilliantly damming with their cross examinations!
