11.30am: Gerard Baden-Clay stood in the dock as he was asked if he would adduce evidence in his defence.
Barrister Michael Byrne QC, for the accused, said his client would give evidence.
“Members of the jury, Gerard Baden-Clay will get into the witness box,” he said.
“As you’ve heard members of the jury, the defence is going to give evidence. Critically and importantly Gerard Baden-Clay is going to give evidence. He will give that evidence to you under oath and he will say a number of things.
Perhaps at the forefront of what he will tell you is that he did not kill his wife. He will tell you that he did not leave his young girls alone in the house at Brookfield whilst he drove out to Kholo Creek on any occasion on the 19th or 20th of April, 2012.
“He will tell you that he certainly did not transport or carry his wife’s body down the muddy slope next to the Kholo Creek Bridge and he did not place it in the water at the bottom of that slope.
“He did not drive back from Kholo Creek having walked through the mud and he did not because there was nothing in fact, to clean up at the house in the surrounds of the house or in the car.
“Gerard Baden-Clay will tell you all of those things and will give you details of what did occur on those days, the 18th, 19th and 20th of April, 2012.

Oh no! That's not how it's done in the USA.
Domestic violence doesn't need to be physical violence. We can see the covert abuse, the emotional and mental abuse. It's not a far step to the next level.

He will swear to those issues and he will then give you a background as to his relationship with Allison, how they met, how they married, how their relationship went through difficulties, how they were throughout the years.
“He will tell you openly and frankly about his infidelity. He will tell you about his relationship with Toni McHugh and indeed with other infidelities during his marriage.
“But what he will tell you is that he intended to continue his life with Allison and the three girls. He will tell you he loved those girls and would do nothing to jeopardise his relationship with them, and that was the case in April, 2012.”
Mr Byrne said he and his wife drove to Mount Coo-tha together on the night of April 18 and they talked about the questions that were crossed out in his wife’s diary.
“He will tell you that the relationship between he and Allison was never on involving histrionics, never a relationship involving raised voices and arguments, let alone one involving domestic violence, it was not that kind of relationship,” he said.
Mr Byrne told the jury that when Ms Baden-Clay found about the relationship through her friend Wendy Mollah she merely asked her husband to meet her for a talk.
He said they drove to MacDonalds at Indooroopilly and sat in a car together.
“She asked him, are you having an affair? He said: `yes, I am’,” he said.
Mr Byrne said Baden-Clay would tell the jury his wife’s response was one of shock and disbelief and she got out of the car and sat on the curb.
“That’s how their relationship worked. That’s how it had worked throughout their 14 years of marriage, if there was an issue, be it affair, be it depression, be it lack of physical contact between them, they worked through it,” he said.
“They weren’t a couple who expressed their dissatisfaction in any way through raised voices, shouting, pushing.”
Mr Byrne said Baden-Clay would tell the jury his wife asked him to make a decision: her or me.
He said the accused would tell them that his wife relayed to him if he chose her, it would be subject to conditions and Ms McHugh would no longer be able to work at the business.

What about the advising about the Conference the next day - wasn't that something difficult?
I also believe now after reading some of this - ie people they are calling etc, that a big part of this is OBW - the sister supporting her brother, doing research, helping the Defence lawyers. They did not give up hope, they have had 2 years to prepare for this, and they have done so!
I have to say I am concerned, but I am also intrigued as to where he will lead this all to - in terms of how it occurred. TM - or suicide, or are they just going to leave it open and leave that doubt in the minds of the jury?

11:52am: Mr Byrne said the phone records tendered to the court yesterday would chronicle what was the normal life of Gerard and Allison Baden-Clay.
"That night she's [Mrs Baden-Clay] got a hairdressing appointment. She goes off and does that. He has to go to a parent teacher night ...," Mr Byrne said.
"There were phone calls between them ...
"They get home, nothing untoward.
"They sit down and they talk about it, what's happened that day. They talk about cross country because Allison hadn't been able to attend [their youngest daughter's] first cross country. They talked about the parent teacher [meeting] and they talked about the sleep over.
"She had a few follow up questions from the night before.
"He answered accordingly ... and as you've heard him tell various people at various times he went to bed.
"Allison was in her pyjamas. She was wearing a check pyjama top and bottoms and thick socks."

It would appear that way. One thing is now certain, GBC has made no admissions to his legal team as to his involvement in Allison's death (for reasons that will be obvious to some but as this matter is ongoing, I will refrain from further comment at this stage).
I personally have a charger (for a wireless modem) that charges only intermittently. It could be plugged in and not charging for hours and all of a sudden it will seemingly burst to life and start charging. I don't know if this is a problem with the charger or the modem but it's possible there is an innocent explanation why GBC's phone started charging at that particular time.
As expected, a mental health professional will be called. Despite the excitement of GBC electing to give evidence, in my opinion this morning has brought the worst possible news for Allison's family and supporters
