He's breaking. Casselden, holding a piece of paper, asked RB if he placed any ads seeking companionship, other than Le Courrier. He's close to tears and says he has no idea. He's barely whispering. Suddenly he has nothing to say. No extraordinary, detailed and long winded stories.

Casselden is going through each word of Le Courrier ad and asking if he was pretending to be the real FR from Lux. RB says no way.

Just LOVED how Casselden said....'genuine' during the recall of the advertisement!

I think at this point he's given up in the sense that he may have realised that quite a bit of what he's already said is likely to bury him on multiple potential pension fraud/perjury charges. I imagine the inside of his brain right now looks like the Waltzers.

OMG pension that he GETS FROM OVERSEAS! As well as an Aussie pension. Uh oh! I don't think that's allowed?

My father in law receives a pension from both his home country and here. The one from o/S is taken into account by Centrelink. It can be done legitimately- whether RB did it legitimately is another question.

Wow this is juicy - maybe they've found other ads?

 

[Passingthru]

OMG HE IS REALLY CRACKING “it was a lie”

 

[brjakj]

I bet he never thought he would see those ads again!

Could be that Casselden found other ads, or maybe he's just using a prop piece of paper which is AAA+++ lawyer skilz. Either way, it worked!

 

[gingertn]

Deliberate decision.

 

[Passingthru]

The splitting of hairs between deliberate and calculating… (over the lies in the advert)

 

[vivienbee]

Is it just me or is his fluency in English seeming to wane?

It was definitely deliberate, but in no way calculated.

His brain is spinning so fast in trying to lie his way out that it doesn’t have enough RAM for the English piece.

PO Box. He said, for that purpose, for replies to the ad

 

[TootsieFootsie]

My wife didn't understand me

My wife didn't understand me

Well she is 1) a woman and 2) brain damaged. She was basically a potato.

IMO they must have evidence of more ads because of how Casselden said to the judge to note "the significant pauses" he'd left between each of his questions, i.e. he's given RB enough time to tell the truth.

 

[mishy66]

OMG They have someone else answering the ad!
Come on Casselden!

Wait did I miss this?!
