And, I am sure prerecorded evidence by the girls.

And maybe in a closed court. Or a video where only the jury can see them being interviewed and everyone else can just listen. Alioop, wasn't this done that day when you went in and it wasn't listed so you went to Daniel's case?

In their statement addressed to "Australian media" this morning, the parents of Allison Baden-Clay said the past two years had been "the most devastating period of our lives".

Here is the statement in full:

I don't know when it was done but I am sure it has been done already.

The potential jurors have handed in their questionnaires. They have left the court so their answers can be discussed. #badenclay

Hopefully the jury will be empanelled in the next hour, then the court breaks for lunch and will restart in a new courtroom at 2 pm for the balance of last weeks application. That may take up to an hour, then there will be time for the prosecutions opening statement or part of it anyway.

12:06pm: Earlier, a list of 77 potential witnesses was read out to prospective jurors in the Supreme Court.

Among the potential witnesses was MP Bruce Flegg, the Member for Moggill and a neighbour of the Baden-Clays in the west Brisbane suburb of Brookfield.

The accused's father Nigel Baden-Clay and sister Olivia Walton are also among the potential witnesses, as well as Allison's parents Priscilla and Geoff Dickie.

Recorded interviews with the Baden-Clays' three daughters could also be played to the court.

A number of police officers, forensic and scientific experts, and neighbours of the Baden-Clays are expected to give evidence during the four-week trial.
