He said it would be unwise for the public to drawn any conclusions from the examination of a limited number of witnesses who appeared during the committal proceedings.

That above comment from the judge speaks absolute "volumes"

In what way do you think?

11.08am: Gerard Baden-Clay has been committed to stand trial for the murder of his wife.

''I'm of the opinion the evidence is sufficient to put the defendant on trial,'' Chief Magistrate Brendan Butler said.

He said it would be unwise for the public to drawn any conclusions from the examination of a limited number of witnesses who appeared during the committal proceedings.

BBM. I just think this is meant to be a general comment that the magistrate said because of the public interest in this case. I think it isn't specific about the evidence in this case, just that the process of a trial is very different from what we have seen at the committal.

For everyone at WS - mods, members, guests. Thank you for everyone who keeps us in the loop, posts updates, sleuths the important stuff, celebrates the wins, and shakes our collective heads at the stupidity and selfishness of crimes (particularly against women).

Big hugs and celebrations!!!
