[hoodunnit]

Hawaiian shirt ? and shorts.

Defnitely.

 

[Flippitypip]

Wondering how AKA will arrive tomorrow. Odds on Wheely walker v wheelchair?

If I were a betting woman, I would put money on a wheelchair.

 

[mishy66]

Wow! The image we saw or another one?

another one that looked to be early 90's

It was up for ages then was removed yesterday

 

[KinseyFan]

If I were a betting woman, I would put money on a wheelchair.

And perhaps an oxygen tank

 

[Estelle]

And perhaps an oxygen tank

Please don't give him any more ideas! IMO if this case goes to court, RB needs to be physically examined by an independent doctor.

Maybe an examination by a Psychiatrist would be a good idea too!

oooh, good call on that bet. $50 on the wheelchair please.

 

[Estelle]

I thought that perhaps RB and DdeH had an agreement. Sure you can romance and scam them but no physical intimacy.

The way I view DdeH and RB's relationship is that after she had the two children, they both lost interest in sex with anyone and turned their attention, as partners in crime, to accumulating money to satisfy their greed.

It was possible to get a drivers license with a wrong photo back in the 90s. I may have had friends that did it to get fake IDs when they were underage. You would go to the desk with your information and they’d give you a ticket to get your photo taken at a different desk. The desk that took the photo never checked your documents again and you weren’t escorted. It is possible for Marion to go there saying she lost her license ( prob stolen by RB) then she’d collect the ticket for the photo desk. RB then says he has an emergency and they have to come back. He gives the ticket to DdH and she gets the new photo.
Far fetched but completely possible.
I remember by 2002 that process had changed. This is Vic tho not sure about NSW.

It's not too far fetched for this sack of crap! That would be a total possibility for him to do something like that, since he is an expert in fraud

 

[Mjjj14]

Agree! I’m watching a room full of people half her age sure even the time could have been better suited for Agnes rather than a time in Australia that is clearly late for witnesses in europe.

I may be off base here but I thought Her Honour said that this witness requested 3pm. Hopefully that was the case.

Only thing is…if you are an expert fraud, it would be far simpler and less convoluted to just make an entire fake DL from scratch without going through this process which is fraught with opportunities to be tripped up. Queensland DLs (where MB got hers) were still laminated photo cards in 1997, so still able to be fraudulently made by someone with Cojones (albeit les bleues!) and knowhow.

RB’s performance giving evidence at the inquest reminds me of the Little Britain character, Anne, played by David Walliams. Especially when contrasted with RB’s phone conversation with The Australian journalist David Murray played on The Front podcast

Iron cage if I had my way

 

[Lord Peter Flimsy]

I wonder if it will still be the walking frame.
Or maybe a wheelchair. For added sympathy.

Or maybe he really does need aids for getting around these days.

Or he could turn up on his overexcited stallion?!! Was that even mentioned today at the inquest?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

In a wheelchair, both legs and one arm in a cast. Al least a mask if not oxygen.
Personal support person next to him.

Worse case scenario , brought in on a hospital bed. Connected to a drip.

GDD seemed to think that the pre-travel medical appointments were a way to get her out of the house, so he could case the joint. I always thought the same with JO's hair appointment.

 

[Observe_dont_Absorb]

It’s because it’s her legal name.

She kept the 'Marion' though and they missed it out.

Or he's been a lifelong habitual cocaine user? Read up what it does to the penis in long term regular use. JMO MOO just speculating. But where's all that money gone and what drove him to be so criminal?

He has been a criminal since his teens, we found lots of articles on this way back.
Personally I dont think its anything to do with cocaine. He had prostate surgery so blue willy IMO
They have money
