There is a legion of men in jail for murdering their wives. And it is interesting how many of them were rich, or at least well-off. They could have had a good life all their days, but lost it all because they are murdering . . . . . . s.

OMG here he admits the diamond from Lyn’s engagement and eternity rings were used in JC’s!

I imagine that these rings wouldn't have been worn by Lyn once she had her wedding ring.

I wonder where her wedding ring ended up
Him being so mean I can't imagine it was buried with Lyn, unless he bought her a cheap one.

Justice Ian Harrison SC sets Twitter ablaze as he hands down verdict in Chris Dawson trial

Justice Ian Harrison spent more than five hours handing down his guilty verdict in the Chris Dawson murder trial, and Aus
A Supreme Court Justice’s long and brutal guilty verdict sparked a social media frenzy as high-profile murderer Chris Dawson learned his fate.

Social media commentators took to their feeds in droves as Justice Ian Harrison SC handed down a blunt guilty verdict that Dawson killed his wife Lynette in the 1980s.

Justice Harrison’s five hour-long verdict methodically picked apart Mr Dawson’s defence.

He blasted numerous testimonies which claimed Lynette had been seen since her disappearance in 1982, believing none of the five alleged sightings.
Australia was captivated.

For hours Chris Dawson waited silently, then he was led away in handcuffs

When Chris Dawson heard the word "guilty" he closed his eyes inside the overflowing courtroom. Outside there was applause after a wait of more than 40 years for a result.

If he does, he might eventually tell where he put Lyn's body. With dementia, he might remember he did this crime years ago and talk about it without any inhibitions or need for lies.

I have little doubt Chris Dawson has run with his version of events for so long now (40 years) that they have become his truth, dementia or no dementia.

 

[Cliff Hardy]

"Dawson’s twin brother, Paul, left court without speaking to reporters."

This isn't strictly true. I heard in this video posted here earlier Paul saying to a journo "I'm Paul, you idiot", as he left.
It is at about the 10sec mark in the video.

Chris Dawson found guilty of murdering wife Lynette in Sydney 40 years ago

He may as well have said, I'm Paul and I'm an idiot. Him being the other half of the staged, tapped phone calls and the one who repeatedly told Chris what to say and what not to say - and look where it got Chris.

TWIN 1 isn't quite as smart as he thought he was. Nor is older brother Peter, who put in such an appallingly arrogant performance at the coroner's inquest.

I'm not able to read this article. What do they mean by "Lyn did not die for nothing"? Her death, surely, was absolutely senseless.

I'm not able to read this article. What do they mean by "Lyn did not die for nothing"? Her death, surely, was absolutely senseless.

I had a short read and I think that it means that Lyn has become an inspiration for women facing domestic violence.
Says that millions of women around the world see themselves in Lyn's situation and can see the signs and do something about it before it's too late. Something that Lyn wasn't able to do, but her case is saving others.

I'm not really awake enough here yet. I hope someone else can paraphrase better than me.

Includes video of Dawson being transported.

Oh good, I was trying to find one of that last night.
Just wanted to see the look on his face.
He's probably in shock. After all these years he most likely thought he'd got away with it.

Poor diddums... Oh I forgot about the mask, that's something he could hide behind.

Inside the courtroom as Chris Dawson's verdict was handed down

For hours, Chris Dawson hung off every word from the judge.

Wearing a face mask and sitting quietly with his arms folded, it was to be a long wait for the former Sydney high school teacher.

It took Justice Ian Harrison about five hours to arrive at his verdict.

"Christopher Michael Dawson," he began.

"On the charge of that on or about 8 January, 1982, at Bayview or elsewhere in the state of New South Wales, you did murder Lynette Dawson."

"I find you guilty," Justice Harrison said, directing his glance straight at Dawson.

The 74-year-old lowered his eyelids, but showed little emotion.

Across the hallway, loud applause echoed from an overflow courtroom, opened to accommodate the huge number of spectators and journalists.

"It will be necessary for you to be taken into custody," Justice Harrison told Dawson.

He may as well have said, I'm Paul and I'm an idiot. Him being the other half of the staged, tapped phone calls and the one who repeatedly told Chris what to say and what not to say - and look where it got Chris.

TWIN 1 isn't quite as smart as he thought he was. Nor is older brother Peter, who put in such an appallingly arrogant performance at the coroner's inquest.

I may be a bit in dreamland, but I truly expect Peter to be disbarred and some of his court workings put up again , in dispute, for a whole lot of reasons. Certainly, the coroners court experience of Peter should be re done, and also the sham , pretendy, false , faux, lying from go to whoa divorce in which Peter was Chris' legal representative.

I reckon, at some point. maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow , but someone, surely is going to ask 'exactly how did Dawson get away with this horrendous crime for so long??' There are so many points in this journey where he just slid under the radar, from family, employer, police, et al.

It still shocks me, that he left Cromer High school the both of them, Paul and Chris , where they had been the teachers of Sexual biology, or some such, BECAUSE they were knocking off the pupils, and then Chris gets a job up on the Gold Coast, at a Catholic ladies College, teaching the same thing!

So I'm adding in the church as being asked some hard questions, as well.

There is no doubt in my mind that the police , Northern Beaches, were laid back about this whole culture, most likely receiving benefits from it, of a purient nature, they could not have been this dismissive, this credulous without some payment in the back pocket. Looked at objectively, Chris Dawson was the perfect subject for a regulation, methodical investigation.

But no!..

Chris Dawson's lawyer has revealed the convicted murderer is "not doing well" after he was found guilty of murdering his wife Lynette Dawson four decades ago, informing the public of plans to appeal the NSW Supreme Court ruling.

Defence barrister Greg Walsh told reporters Dawson was “very upset” by yesterday’s verdict,

Walsh asserted that it wouldn’t be right to send Dawson to jail, considering the health issues the former school teacher is currently facing.

“He’s been diagnosed with dementia,” Walsh said.

“Jail will be much harder for him … he’s got problems with his hips and knees too.”
