The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 17th June - Trial Day 5 - Week 2

[louisepiglet]

11:10am: Dr Burke said he assessed Mrs Baden-Clay in October 2011 soon after she discovered her husband's affair.

He said presented with low mood and anxiety, but he found her to be quite resilient.

"My opinion was that she wasn't at a high risk of suicide," Dr Burke said.

"I thought that ... she had a high degree of resilience."

Dr Burke said Mrs Baden-Clay displayed a high degree of insight into her mental illness and was very organised through their consultations.

I totally understand where Allison was coming from. I know when I start to feel worse with my anxiety and depression I go to the doctors quick smart to head it off. She didn't let it get worse.

10.50am: The jury will this morning hear continued evidence from the 33rd witness in the trial, Toni Cheri McHugh.

We had a long relationship that was based on love and respect for each other, it was fraught with some differences, our children were our priority so Gerard was a part of ending that relationship from my point of view, I had very strong feelings of attachment to Gerard and I wasn’t going to remain in that marriage with Rob, I couldn’t,” she said.

It won't take much longer and defence will suggest that it was Toni that had reason to kill Allison!

Scorned women?

 

[Kimster]

Good Lord....they really really are trying to say she committed suicide....I cannot believe it

They also tried to make TM suss. I think they are trying to create doubt wherever the idea might take root.
