The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 30th June - Trial Day 12, Week 3

[Timmy]

Going on and on about wanting a boy is really strange. It just doesn't sound like a woman would stress so much about that unless the husband had make repeated comments about it. Just coming from a woman's perspective. Sounds hinky.

I agree! And odd to have a scan to determine sex of the child but only tell the father because the mother doesn't want to know! Very strange!

 

[DrWatson]

So let me get this straight... Allison became pregnant, but their sex-life was non-existent?

That's either "Hail Mary" or he's about to imply that Allison was playing away from home...

And Marly - with great respect (I mean that) - the blog post from GBC that you snipped because it was a quote from a blog, I would have thought it was important to be posted here? It wasn't a blog just quoting somebody's opinion on something - it was the words of the accused himself. Surely that would qualify for being allowed to remain here?

I think what GBC wrote in that blog was HIGHLY important, and completely contradictory to all this guff he's spouting at the moment.

You would think if it was such a big deal that it would have been a good idea to prepare Allison for the baby being a girl.

I agree, there is something not right about this episode. :twocents:

Gerard says Allison bonded with her too. #badenclay

Of course she did. Would have gotten over that she wasn't a boy fairly quickly.

 

[they'll get you]

The tears are for himself only. His spiel depends on where he spends the next twenty or so years.

No sex in gaol!

this whole yarn today.. this episode, is as off as a three dollar bill. Not a skerrick of truth or even logic in it..

 

[Amee]

Dr George said after the delivery of the baby she was disappointed but expressed to him that she was mostly concerned for her husband, who she thought had wanted a boy.

Gerard says he suggested in 2007 that Phil Broom buy into the business. Said he'd trained him in the way they were doing things. #badenclay

 

[Amee]

10:30am: Their third daughter was born in September 15, 2007.

"She's just such a beautiful little girl," Mr Baden-Clay said sobbing, again.

"I just can't imagine life without [our third daughter] so I'm really we did have her."

He said Allison was initially disappointed at not having a son, but eventually bonded with her third daughter.

I'm sticking my neck out here, but I wonder if he showed disappointment after viewing the scan, ABC knew and was hard on herself again. :dunno: jmo

Doc the same rules apply across the board. We don't allow copy/paste from blogs.

Read back a page or two & you will see it was all reported in media...after it had been posted on WS back in June 2012.

 

[Timmy]

Of course she did. Would have gotten over that she wasn't a boy fairly quickly.

I agree...even IF she desperately wanted a boy... That all changes once your baby is born!

 

[Amee]

10:32am: Mr Baden-Clay has started talking about his dreams for his business.

He wanted six to seven offices across Brisbane's western suburbs.

With this in mind he sought partners in the business.

Well.....

 

[alioop]

That blog was 2 yrs after the birth of the third baby so let's see if he ever gets to 2008, what he says about Allison's capacity to look after the house and girls.

Gerard is talking about bringing in Jocelyn Frost, Century 21 salesperson of the year for Queensland. #badenclay

Gerard says they decided the three of them would become equal partners in the business. #badenclay

I am staying as objective as possible. I see nothing pointing to guilt. People are allowed to have feelings that differ from he majority.
