Now to hear from those celebrating a woman's death...really hating our justice system right now. Things need to change.

I am Australian.. when I talk of 'chucking ' people, I mean pushing, shoving, hurling.... so Australians do mean exactly that when they say 'chucking'..

Just yesterday I physically picked up my child, restrained him, put him in his bedroom and closed the door. I told my husband that I chucked him in his room. I use the word "chuck" a lot. I chuck my bag in the car, I chuck my shopping on the table. I chuck something in the fridge. Doesn't mean I throw it. It means I put something somewhere.

Seems people are taking a word said in the heat of the moment, giving it a literal interpretation and insisting that GT must have meant the literal interpretation.

Not the ones I know, otherwise chucking back a beer would be awfully dangerous.

The majority of posters here are Australian, and have an understanding of how the word "chuck" is used by their compatriots. It's generally used when one is talking about throwing and using force.

Yep I thought so

I feel sick.

My only comment is that I feel very sorry for his next victim, and I am sure there will be one.

What a roller coaster ride.

What about when he said "I forced her?"

Of of course he wasn't. The prosecutor should be fired for wasting tax payers money

Justice Byrne it telling jury that a juror had been posting on Instagram. Not serious enough to cause mistrial but disappointing. #tostee

Thoughts and prayers for Warriena's family :cry:

Karma, Tostee, karma will come

No earthly justice for Warriena in Queensland.

Please Warriena's loved ones, take him to civil court. And hit the Australian public hard with a request to change the law - this can't happen again.

And please let me bump into Tostee when I'm down the coast next.....
