Omg! That is bad news! But how and why? I was of the understanding that his defence team were the best of the best and I didn't think that's what you got through legal aid? Unless they are in need of publicity and I didn't think that would be the case with the lawyers he had. Although I have no...

So I'm sure he's going to appeal because of his huge ego/narcissism/denial/entitlement... "The third avenue is miscarriage of justice, which can cover a variety of scenarios including whether jurors have been found to undertake their own research outside the courtroom... Professor Douglas...

Oh, and Schema therapy is an option for treatment but prognosis is poor due to the lack of insight.

Absolutely, I agree! Yes often the two go hand in hand. I think the narcissistic beliefs and behaviours are like a "protective hard shell" - a kind of defense mechanism, beneath which is a gooey insecure fragmented self esteem/self image. Jeffrey Young suggests that people who have...

Agreed definite narcissistic personality traits if not full blown personality disorder. Theodore Millon describes personality disorders in more comprehensive detail. I thought this was especially relevant to the case.... "(F) Rationalization Regulatory Mechanism (e.g., is...

In answer to Kimster's question, I thought he was going to get a not guilty verdict but am very relieved I was wrong! I thought he was guilty as sin, but was worried the jury was going to get to caught up on the terms "circumstantial evidence" and "reasonable doubt." Especially when they kept...

heloise, I'm sure you're right... but he is pretty attractive, and smart, and educated... and maybe he's a bit of a knight in shining armour because he is seen as "defending" Allison... Also nerds really get me going... Haha

I don't know if it's just my hormones but I'm TOTALLY crushing on Todd at the moment (don't tell my husband!) :loveyou::heartluv::heartbeat:

Hi all, While impatiently awaiting the verdict I was thinking back to a quote from the Woody Allen movie "Match Point".... "The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think...

Gotta love the shameless name dropping.... "Mr Baden-Clay is the great-grandson of scout movement founder Lord Robert Baden-Powell." http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/gerard-badenclay-trial-accused-killer-gives-evidence-20140626-zsnaf.html Every time that is mentioned I just keep...

Yes! I'm seeing similarities with Jodi Arias. We need Juan Martinez, can you just imagine him cross examining GBC!?! (No disrespect to Todd Fuller and Danny Boyle, they are doing a great job).

Hi DrWatson, Wow that is awesome to hear. Very impressive that the information that was put together here was actually given to the prosecution and used! Thanks for this revision and please excuse my ignorance of this information, I'm a newby to posting and have only recently been reading...
