    The aftermath of the verdict *MERGED*

    I've always suspected that the "hand/field signals" used by GBC on his daughters had been learned from his own upbringing.

    The aftermath of the verdict *MERGED*

    At times I was deeply uncomfortable with what I felt was a vigilante mentality in the threads and was unwilling to ascribe every single anecdote as an indicator of GBC being a foul and blackhearted murderer who had been roaming around with a figurative dagger up his sleeve for years prior to...

    What a great, succinct post. Thank you.

    The Verdict Waiting Room #2

    Yes of course, that is what I believe. :facepalm:

    The Verdict Waiting Room #2

    I don't know anything, of course. I only feel that if that if all 12 were as convinced of GBC's guilt as the majority of posters on this forum are, that we would have already heard a "guilty" verdict. I am assuming that there is either a very strong foreman who will not allow voting until all...

    The Verdict Waiting Room #2

    I, for one, am glad that the jury is taking such a long time. I believe it shows that the verdict will be a carefully considered decision. Based on the tweeting of testimony during the trial, I am conflicted about a guilty verdict. I am not sure that I am quite at "beyond reasonable doubt."...

    The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 9th July - Trial Day 17

    I know Mr Fuller is privy to information unavailable to us, but am I the only one surprised that he has chosen to emphasise the affair as motive, rather than the money? I've always thought it was desperation over his financial situation that pushed him over the edge. As a bankrupt he would have...

    I love Todd Fuller for giving Toni McHugh some dignity. What a gentleman.

    GBC Trial General Discussion Thread #4

    Would GBC have known that the body would need to be exposed to the elements for a while to destroy evidence? That's the sort of thing most people would have to google and the forensic computer team would have flagged any suspicious internet activity. I think he's been incredibly lucky for the...

    GBC Trial General Discussion Thread #4

    Can someone explain to me what could be on Allison's phone that would make it necessary for it to vanish? PS I loved that word "dastardly." If he had have come out with "poppycock" or "fiddlesticks" my day would have been made.

    GBC Trial General Discussion Thread #4

    I'm still unhappy about the lack of physical evidence linking GBC to Kholo Creek and the lack of a definitive cause of death. In the end it's all about the scratches. How many movies or TV shows have we seen where DNA clinching the case is found under a victim's fingernails? It is almost a...

    GBC Trial General Discussion Thread #4

    Back here after real life taking over for a few days. The only thing that pokes a hole in the conference being the catalyst theory for me is that Toni and Allison had run into each other at the gym and there was no confrontation then. Toni had been trying to keep her trainer talking so that...

    The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 30th June - Trial Day 12, Week 3

    I am waiting to see how he fares under cross examination.

    The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 30th June - Trial Day 12, Week 3

    It could be that he's one of those people who can't tell you something without giving you 5 minutes of backstory along with it. He strikes me as that type.
