The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 26th June - Trial Day 11, Week 3

[Mrs G Norris]

The jury will be thinking the same things we are, no doubt in my mind.

OMG am just at page 9.....I am in shock....

Don't bother going any further............it doesn't get any better :banghead:

 

[PrimeSuspect]

I know no one likes GBC and I think he is guilty.

But depression is not a character flaw.

When he says she had depression he is not attacking her character.

If there were things she couldn't do due to depression it is no more a character flaw than if she couldn't do things due to a broken leg.

I am not taking anything he says as being against Allison or an insult to her.

Imo, GBC is making Allison's depression the reason for his unfaithfulness. He took this family under with his money schemes, who knows where that money went?
He is the last one who should call Allison incapable. jmo

Baden Clay describes financial situation and entry into real estate industry. #badenclay

 

[Amee]

4:26pm: But financially, Mr Baden-Clay, said he and his wife were struggling.

"We weren't taking business trips class trips around the world every couple of months and we weren't moving forward," he said.

It was in that context Mr Baden-Clay decided to become a real estate agent.

4:24pm: Mr Baden-Clay said his wife's mood improved after Dr George prescribed the anti-depressant Zoloft.

"Look we both, Allison and I, strongly believed in the power of positive thinking. So, and I didn't care so long as she was getting better, but I felt definitely she got a triple benefit from the consultations with Tom, Dr George. She got the benefit of the therapy with him, the medication, but additionally ... feeling like we were doing something and making headway against this mental illness," he said.

This doesn't count for much if what you're DOING is spending all the time you should be working on the books and marketing your business fooling around with the staff ..

This is what two long years sitting in Arthur Gorrie and feeling unappreciated leads to ....

I'm sure he started up his own real estate as no one would employ him :scared:

It may not be correct to say character flaw but he is trying to paint her in a bad light which is a similar thing....

You read my thoughts !

 

[Forensics]

i know it's annoying but the more he raves on the more opportunity for slip ups....especially when we get to the "sharp end" of his testimony.....and more so when he gets to be interrogated by the prosecution.

I love how it is HE interviewed them......rather than them interviewing him......TYPICAL

:floorlaugh:

Has he started on about real estate yet??

"I'm in real estate, we have these lovely houses for sale just up the road. Here's my card"

:floorlaugh:
Not quite that will be by Wednesday next week!

Gerard says he worked locally to be available for Allison. He often had to drop everything to go home and help her. #badenclay

Gerard says he and his mother and father sold homes in the area "and we were very good". #badenclay
