Yes. Did she never learn to speak because nobody spoke much to her, only the ipad?

I don't think non-verbal means she couldn't scream. Did she die where she was found, and is it thought to have been the same night?

As he was leaving, along or across the river? Yes, perhaps.

Sharon's own father is in gaol now, according to Daily Mail. How little Sharon, 5, is linked to violent ex-con who 'abducted her' It's not unlikely others present that night also had criminal records. We haven't heard whether the found clothing forensically matched either of them, or whether...

Alice Springs population is 20% Aboriginal, compared to around 4% nationally. The police there are known to be extremely racist, dangerously so. It is hard for Aboriginal people to stay out of gaol, partly because they are targeted and sometimes pre-emptively attacked by police, and partly...

I think the behaviour you described in the second quote above is much more unusual than initially co-operating, then hiring a lawyer, then shutting up. Maybe we just know different cultures.

There is rarely ANY water in the Todd River. There are people resting/gathering/maybe camping or exercising there.

If we're guessing . . . I think it's about (1) whether the technology from Samantha's watch is capable of proving that the critical incident happened where and when police said it did, and (2) what can and can't be used to prove intention.

The link doesn't support that. It's not addressing the same subject as your claim. First, it's not about missing people, it's about homicides. Not all missing children die, and not all who died were killed. Not all killed children were first 'missing'. Then, the basis of the data is police...

I think they are very focussed on not wasting time. And it's not the days that elapse that matter, it's the work hours. An actual trial is work hours from a lot of people. Preliminary argument is less resource-intensive and shortens in-trial dispute.

If the case runs beyond its allotted time, then it does. The judge isn't going to hand it over to the jury only half heard. "Sorry, we don't have time to hear any defence witnesses"--? Future bookings will be moved, something like that. Then again, if a lot of evidence proves inadmissible...

Well done telling a murder story without mentioning the murders.

Police earlier confirmed they had "all but ruled out" the possibility that Gus had simply wandered off. https://www.9news.com.au/national/gus-lamont-update-detectives-will-return-to-oak-park-station-in-ongoing-search-for-missing-toddler/31243699-0186-47af-81ec-72d3669eac6e So they have not ruled...

What is your point? Do you think that Erin was lying when she said at trial that she foraged for mushrooms? At your trial, you maintained the story about having sourced some of the mushrooms from an Asian grocery but testified that, in May and June of 2023, you had foraged for edible mushrooms...

BBM, that's our understanding about September 2025. Commissioner Stevens is saying he won't comment on who is where in early March 2026. Agreed, the home where Josh was awakened was not part of (or near) the station.
