The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay - Trial Day 1 - 10th June, 2014-Week 1

[MsAnais]

Good point. I guess you don't have to make a lot of noise to kill someone, especially if he immediately smothered her mouth, in which case a victim's most instinctive response would be to scratch/hit out. Sorry for the graphic image. Just trying to imagine how the girls didn't wake up (and also how he didn't worry about them waking up during that (14km!) drive out to Kholo Creek and back). My kids wake up at the drop of a hat and often for no reason at all right throughout the night.

Whereas my kids don't get woken by ANYTHING - it's totally wild to us that they can sleep through huge noises.....depends on the children I think. :seeya:

Oh my...

A few thoughts...

HOW DARE HE wear his wedding ring today when there is an email - PROOF - that he didn't want to be married to Allison!!!

I'm assuming that this is the first time that he's seen the photos - unless his team have shown him to prepare him? But that must be quite confronting for him! I'd love to know what he's thinking / feeling.

How horrendous for Allison's family and friends to have to not only see this, but for them to know that others are seeing them no one should have to remember her that way

Her dinner with Kerry Anne could have been a quick take away, is there one near the hairdresser? I'm so glad that they got that one last catch up!

GBC probably got the girls ready and then Allison turned up in time to say goodnight. I'm glad too that she got to hug them and tell them she lived them one last time!

So the daughters were home!! Finally confirmation! Fair chance that they heard something odd...

Big hugs Amee and everyone xo

Thanks for the tweets guys, you're all so brilliant xo

The kids might have been used to late night arguments too, which would make them more likely to sleep through commotion in the house.

The next witness is Sergeant Murray Watson. He had met Gerard in 2010 re eviction of tenants from a property. #badenclay

Excellent post! Sadly that's quite possibly true...

The neighbours heard arguing, screams and dogs barking.

Maybe the girls did too. Their taped interviews are yet to be heard.

Good point, Mrs G.

Watson met Gerard at one property three times. April and August 2010 and six months later for the auction of the house. #badenclay

Defence barrister Michael Byrne said Sgt Watson had known Gerard for years. Regarded him as "being one of the nicest guys in the world".

Sgt Watson agreed. He knew Gerard through the local chamber of commerce. #badenclay

Watson: There were concerns the people being evicted from the house were stockpiling weapons. #badenclay

bbm. I personally hope that those images are seared into his brain. You can never un-see something like that.

And even though it is SO awful and undignified for Allison to be 'seen' publicly like that - at least there is light being shone onto the truth. And the truth is, unfortunately, really gruesome.

Enough with the lies in this case!!

I think a lot would disagree :banghead:

I remember that Allison would meet her best friend the next day after this agents event (how was the right naming?) to bring something to Kerry?

 

[DrWatson]

I find it a bit surprising that the prosecution described Flegg as "a neighbour" - he lives a couple of Km away at least. And even as the crow flies it would be well over a kilometre with a hill in between. That's an "interesting" way to describe him - I really hope they're not going to rely too much on his evidence.
