Gerard says in 1996 he and Allison were travelling in New Zealand in a campervan. #badenclay

Oh my gawd - he's crying in the witness box...! Is this regret at what he's done? Is it genuine feeling for Allison? Is it a cynical ploy order by the lawyers? Is he that good an actor? Is it the thought of jail? Is he innocent?



Pure theatre

Byrne knows very well the public's reaction to GBC's initial behaviours - he didn't attend the searches for example - his phony acting for tv, etc.

So now GBC sobs for all he's worth, to correct the impression made by his real self in 2012 -- imo

3pm: Barrister Michael Byrne QC, for Baden-Clay, told the jury his client would tell them about his relationship with mistress Toni McHugh in 2012.

He said they contacted each other again around Christmas time in 2011 and occasionally after that.

“He’ll tell you he did that and he discussed with her what her plans would be, what she loved to do, what motivated her, he kept talking about things… he’ll say what she appeared to be interested in was just to be with him and live happily ever after,” he said.

“He’ll say he accommodated that, he’d say: `yes, alright’. He had no intention of being with her and he would appease her. When she demanded to know when they would be together he gave her a date of 1 July… knowing it wouldn’t happen and it would inevitably be post-poned and be a trigger for her to move on and do other things such as travel overseas and study teaching.”

He said they met for sex twice and for the final time around January or February, 2012.

Mr Byrne said they stopped seeing each other when Baden-Clay resumed a physical relationship with his wife Allison.

He said the pair came to see counsellor Carmel Ritchie and the mindset of the accused was still “both negative and unhelpful”.

Mr Byrne said Baden-Clay listened and agreed to be involved in the 15-minute venting sessions after consultation with the counsellor.

He said they had a go on the Monday night, after the counselling session and re-visited it on April 18, 2012.

Mr Byrne said Baden-Clay asked his mother to come and babysit the children that night.

“When his parents arrived to look after the kids they travelled to Mt Coot-tha, she had the journal with her and she asked him a series of questions. They are noted down on the pages of the journal … ,” he said.

Mr Byrne said the accused answered his wife’s questions, adding he was scared of being seen and deliberately went to the cinemas at the Barracks because they were worried about being seen.

He said Baden-Clay had sex with Ms McHugh in his car, called “Snowy”.

“To put it bluntly the Prado was the car used by Gerard for trysts with Toni McHugh and that was one of the things disclosed,” he said.

He said Ms Baden-Clay refused to use the Prado after finding out about the affair in September the year before, “perhaps understandably”.

Mr Byrne said the accused would tell the journey he was remorseful and wished the affair had never started.

He said the couple discussed a couple of “follow-up questions” on the night of the 19th of April, 2012.

“He will say that, as he’s told the police, that he went to bed that night on the 19th of April before Allison did. He’ll tell you she was on the couch, she was wearing her pyjamas she would usually wear to sleep and thick socks instead of slippers to wear around the house,” he said.

Mr Byrne said Baden-Clay was working on the Cheesman house renovations at Pullenvale that day and then raced home to do parent-teacher interviews that night.

He said Baden-Clay’s mother picked up his daughter’s from school and he met them for a barbecue.

Mr Byrne said Baden-Clay and his wife phoned one another and by the time he arrived home, his wife was home, too.

He said they both said goodnight to their daughters in their rooms that night.
