If by some miracle he does manage to hoodwink the jury and get off, there's going to be a long line of websleuthers with pitchforks at the ready... What an utter slimey **** this man is. I hope the prosecution use this behaviour of his as evidence to the jury on how he tries hard to manipulate people.

“I thought I had a year, maybe three months to live"
Stewart said he didn’t initially tell Helen about his cancer scare.
“I thought I had a year, maybe three months to live, I made the decision not to tell anyone.”
Defence barrister Simon Russell Flint asks: “Why didn’t you want to tell Helen the person you loved?”
Stewart answers: “I wanted the rest of our time together just to be normal, and for everyone else to just treat me normally.
“Helen worked out it was more than that. She found out within weeks of my MRI scan. We agreed not to tell anyone it was cancer.”
“I do remember Helen said she took them for three or four days then stopped.
“When I was in hospital she told me she had taken some of the zopiclone pills then.”
wow he is so sneaky
BIB, we'd been discussing this aspect for days here, Eileen's evidence of HB's tiredness whilst he was away in hosp .
so now he uses weaves this into his story to attempt to score corroboration for his lies.
Bring on Mr Trimmer!

"Wedding plans at this point were sort of fixed"
Wedding plans at this point were sort of fixed. In Helens mind wed moved in, shed write her book one year, then we could get married the next.
We wanted to announce the engagement in January (2016), but I was told I had cancer.
It slowly leaked out in interviews. We were still going to go ahead and do it.
What a stupid way to phrase the Q - of course anyone would notice that !

Russell Flint QC: 'If you had stuck a tablet in the middle of her poached egg would she have noticed?' Stewart: 'I would think so yes.'

"Sometimes Helen was worried our relationship was going too fast"
Sometimes Helen was worried our relationship was going too fast. In the summer of 2012 we were seeing each other almost constantly. In April she saw Dianes jewellery box and asked if she could look at it. She picked up an eternity ring I got Diane in Greece. That was a special ring for Diane. Helen said would I mind if she put it on? So she did, she really liked it. I said would you like it? Maybe some people wouldnt understand that. She said yes. A few weeks later I decided I wanted Helen to marry me. We took her to a place with seven springs in Ashwell for a walk with the dog, on bended knee I asked if she would marry me, she said instantly yes, but she said she couldnt get married yet and everything needed to feel right. I gave her Dianes eternity ring, which I had cleaned and engraved. It was two rings, and the diamond was between the two bands. Id had engraved on one band BB and on another band LB - as in Broad Bean and Live Bean. Stewart breaks down in the witness stand as he said: It was a way of continuing the love from Diane on to Helen. Helen never told anyone that I dont think, because most people wouldnt understand that. There were no dates considered yet, the wedding was something that would happen in the future when she was ready.

"How physically fit were you?"
Defence barrister Simon Russell Flint asks: How physically fit were you following your discharge from hospital, March 25 to beginning of April?
