Justice Mullins says murder/manslaughter, doesn't make that much difference to the bail application. #tostee

Justice Mullins says sentences for both are severe, so risk of flight is still there. #tostee

Sounding good for no bail ...... :skip:

Justice Mullins: It will be a difficult case for the prosecution in relation to murder if he wasn't on the balcony at the time. #tostee

Justice Mullins says reasonably strong case for manslaughter. Depends what was happening in the apartment beforehand. #tostee

I always thought he wasnt on the balcony but locked her out...hmmmm..

Justice Mullins says the real shape of the Crown case is still not clear. Obviously further investigation to come. #tostee

Justice Mullins: It's something that sort of jumped out at me ... that is wasn't addressed. #tostee

Justice Mullins says she won't grant bail at this stage but will adjourn for Mr Kimmins to get further material. #tostee

Justice Mullins inclined to refuse bail but will give defence more time to address autism issue #Tostee

Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 39s

Justice Mullins to Mr Kimmins: I don't think you can proceed on the basis that it's objectively a weak case. #tostee

Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 39s

Justice Mullins has adjourned to a date to be fixed. #tostee

sorry I missed this tweet

Justice Mullins says the autism should have been addressed by Tostee or his parents.

Justice Mullins says Tostee's diagnosis of autism could explain his lack of sociability.


Mr Kimmins says he is instructed that Tostee has seen specialists in the past and can't provide a date of his last assessment.

I like this judge.

Yes was thinking the same thing myself, seems very on to it, and liked what she/he said defending the media.

Woo hoo!!! Am pleased with that result!:happydance:

Hello Sleuthers! I'm back - missed you all - have been following the case in msm, but it's just not the same as being on WS!!:loveyou:

Will be interesting to see what the specialists in the past have diagnosed him with......

And thank you so much for the updates, Amee!! As ever, you rock!!:rockon:

 

[kiwi50]

I don't believe being on the autism spectrum is grounds for being allowed bail.
I don't even see any evidence of Aspergers.

Justice Debra Mullins has asked defence barrister Tony Kimmins why Tostee’s autism diagnosis was not addressed in evidence from defendant or his parents.

I'm actually surprised that the defence didn't come in with the whole autism issue straight away. I expected them to play that card for all it is worth..........:facepalm:
