Why do sociopaths marry?

It's convenient. It gives them cover. It gives them people to practice their wicked ways with.

Gerard Baden-Clay: lawyers lodge case for High Court appeal to be rejected
February 22, 2016 by Kim Stephens

"In documents filed with the High Court on Monday, Baden-Clay's lawyer, Michael Copley, QC, argued the DPP should not be granted special leave to appeal, as the decision did not meet the public importance criteria..."

 

[Pi Thoughts]

Lawyers representing Gerard Baden-Clay are wrong to claim prosecutors didn't rely on motive at the one-time real estate agent's trial, Queensland's Director of Public Prosecutions says.

It comes after Queensland's Court of Appeal downgraded Baden-Clay's murder conviction to manslaughter in a shock decision on December 8.

An application to appeal the downgraded conviction was lodged in the High Court in January by the state's DPP.

High Court must review Baden-Clay: DPP

Lawyers representing Gerard Baden-Clay are wrong to claim prosecutors didn't rely on motive at the one-time real estate agent's trial, Queensland's Director of Public Prosecutions says.

"It is respectfully submitted that the respondent misunderstands the prosecution case - and defence case also - at trial," the reply said.

The DPP says Baden-Clay's lawyers overlooked 14 pages of the trial transcript in which the defence barrister refers to evidence put by the prosecution about Baden-Clay's affair, fears about his wife meeting his mistress and money woes.

An appeal is also warranted so the High Court can examine the issues arising from a defendant later raising an alternative version of events not put to the jury at trial.

The DPP says it poses questions of how an appeal court should treat an alternative explanation when the accused deliberately and tactically excluded it from their defence at the time.

It says Baden-Clay's decision to not only remain silent about how he killed his wife, but to lie about what he did, was a factor the jury could take into account.

Seems to me that's hugely important. If the case has set a precedent in the matter of GBCs defence team raising an alternate version of events which the jury was not given the opportunity to consider, then surely to goodness the DPP's appeal must go ahead so the law can be clarified for any such future cases.

I don't care if this takes forever as long as there is justice at the end of it.

 

[Fuskier]

Agree Fluffykins. Very important legal issue to be determined here in terms of setting a precedent.

Yes! Forever is an appropriate gaol term for this murderer! That would be justice.
All my own opinion of course.
