I think if he came sneaking back home in the middle of the night naked that would definitely count as 'strange behaviour' ... and I'd easily believe that that's what she saw on the CCTV.
Would she have to legally? I dont know enoughYup, will she take the stand?
The supposed comment "its for the best". What could that even relate to, hypothetically? For the best why? It makes no sense. I maybe understand someone saying it if they thought the person had gone thro sheer hell and may never recover. Altho I wouldnt think like that personally. Obv she denies saying it anyway but its an odd phrase to put forward
It will be hearsay that the accused has made up in his head. I can bet you ‘mr nobody’ will take the stand on that comment.
I was under the impression it was a friend that said she heard the phrase?

Quite unusualI’m thinking the CCTV his mum called in might have something incriminating on it rather than just entering and leaving again.
Even just entering in one set of clothes and leaving in another. It must take a lot for a Mum to consider their child is involved in the disappearance of a young child.
Surely DNA from the clothes and knife/ implement/ condom/ Aleshas injuries would prove whether TM was involved ( or not, am pretty sure not!). I’m not sure when this would be brought up...but I guess this will be covered in the prosecution cross exam if the accused gives evidence.I literally lol'd at this. Thinking it might be the most desperate defense I've ever heard.

I do think there’s something quite fishy about TM and the accuseds relationship, and I find it extremely strange that he entered the house without anyone knowing, possibly TM and RM were pretty out of it though.
One reason she might deny it would be if he was underage at the time. Or if it just never happened at all ofc!They seem to be implying that the accused and TM had been together previously and that they had sex on the night.

This one is just confusing so far, with how on earth he could get in and get her out, given there were four adults in the house. I wonder how much context we're missing due to keeping him anonymous? I remember the Elizabeth and Katie Edwards case where it made little sense how the killers got access to the house (or why they stuck around afterwards) unless you knew one of them was the other daughter and lived there. If it wasn't for the fact that RM testified that the defendant here has never been in the house, I'd have guessed at a similar situation!
As to the defence, nope, I just cannot believe it, it's too farfetched. Kind of idea I could see a 16-year-old coming up with tbh, but no, I can't see it. If nothing else, using the contents of a condom to plant evidence would be likely to end up contaminating the scene with DNA from the outside of the condom, in which case there'd be two people in the dock right now...
Yes ... most condoms are pre-lubricated/contain spermicide so IF his 'I was framed' theory were true then forensics could surely tell ...
Not that I believe his ball sheet anyway!
