It is a second violation of poor Rrie's family. They have all been dehumanised.

So Tostee never gave a statement to police if msn is correct. Just left it all up to his lawyer to put a story to the sound effects.
But he or someone just happened to have had a copy to post on social media.
No it seems totally reasonable that his post behaviour not be considered........Not !!!!!
imo

Yesss!! About b****y time that tripod got a mention.

Oops, disregard.

It will be interesting to hear what re-diection they sought, but in any event, I reckon the Judge will send them home to resume in the morning. It's 4.35 pm here in Queensland.

The thing is though Fluffykins, the judge instructed the jury not to take into consideration what Tostee did after Warriena fell to her death!

"The jury has four questions they want answered."

-- age

-- what was he holding

and what are the other two?!

 

[Elde Fruit]

My point was that he did not call 000 immediately.

All he knew at that time was that she was no longer visible on his balcony.

 

[emirates1957]

But we only think that way because we have read his forum posts and we have seen his character evolve to this sadistic level. Unfortunately the Jury haven't studied him as we have. I think many of us have come to the conclusion that he shouldn't walk the streets. I just don't know how the Jury will see it.

On that note possum.......just putting it out there, for those who were on the jury would you be tempted to delve a little further into a defendants past ????

So why'd he call his lawyer? Sneak out the back door? What bs

Oh yeah, that's very willful of them, isn't it? Lol. But I'm with Oz Jen, I can't understand how his behaviour after the event is not relevant when GBC's behaviour was. I thought the law was supposed to be consistent in its application.

I would want to know what he was holding if I was on the jury, too. Not to mention why he thought it important to remove it from the premises.

Absolutely not. Not while sitting on a jury (which I have done). People tend to take their instructions extremely seriously.

True, and if they are asking what he was then carrying, the Judge will tell them they there is no evidence of what it was, other than what is visible on the CCTV. He will also likely tell them that they cannot speculate about what it was and that it is irrelevant to their considerations given the Crown did not seek to explain it. In other words.....'If the Crown does not know, you, Members of the Jury, are none the wiser than is the Crown.'

For all he knew, she might have flown off. Or made herself invisible. Or be climbing up or down ....

Unfortunately from a Crown point of view that's not good news, it shows a complete disregard for Justice Byrne's instructions. Obviously the Court cannot speculate on what the object is/was as it was not relied upon at all during the case and it may give rise to the possibility that the jury is considering scenarios that are inconsistent with the evidence led. Will be watching on with interest tomorrow, at best it's ammunition for a subsequent defence appeal (if it should require one) and at worst it may be grounds for an application to declare a mistrial (unlikely, but possible).

I do not know the time line, and I wonder if the Jury has been presented with relevant evidence to clarify that?

I'm with both you and Oz Jen. I think Tostee's behaviour after leaving his apartment is very relevant.

 

[emirates1957]

Why ask his age ?
