I just said 1 July...don't know where that came from - Gerard on his promise to leave his wife #badenclay

AL'S birthday , mmmm that will do

It's like a circus act, seriously. The person who juggles lots of balls in the air and there is only one possible outcome when there are more balls than the juggler can juggle. That's GBC's life. Even if Allison had not ended up dead, the balls would still have fallen.

A caesarian? Well naturally she would be on the couch wanting a bit of help for awhile!

That makes no sense - it is well known, and widely reported in the medical as well as mainstream media, that the risk of post-natal depression is HIGHER after caesarean section than after normal vaginal birth.

I don't know of ANY obstetricians who would recommend an elective C-section on the grounds that the mother is prone to post natal depression. If you were aiming to reduce the "psychological pressure of birth" on the mother, you would recommend a vaginal birth - far easier to get over, both physically and psychologically.

The same email said he would be separated by July 1, 2012. #badenclay


Gerard tells Toni he loves her in email. "Leave things to me now." Gerard says he meant none of it, was "trying to calm her down".#badenclay

It might have been Mike Munro and his big red book looking for Gerred.

Gerard said their first 15 minutes session was on the Monday night, but it was mostly talking about the counsellor. #badenclay

Gerard says there first "proper" session was on Wednesday. They got takeaway coffees from McDonald's and went to Mt Coot-tha. #badenclay

I think though that him contacting Toni again after he fobbed her off after ending it that he had changed his mind and may have wanted to be with her. I don't understand otherwise that why after finally getting her to accept his decision to only be with Allison, did he contact her out of the blue and say he
loved her and would work it so they would be together. And the written commitment to be with her by 1 July I think that was his real plan. Now he is saying that was a lie he told Toni but why did he have to lie if he could have just kept ignoring her. She had backed off. It was him who re initiated contact.
Maybe this change of mind was linked to the new and determined Allison who he was finding did not suit his future plans.

Yes exactly! Makes no sense. His excuse is that he heard through the grapevine that she wasn't doing well. But months had passed, and this concern didn't show when she was sending him text messages.

The court has heard a Channel 9 reporter and cameraman approached members of the jury leaving the courthouse during the lunch break.

Justice John Byrne has ordered the court's Sheriff to investigate the matter and warned other journalists against doing the same.

Any contact with a juror may be considered to be illegal interference with a juror.

Do I understand his explanation of why he re initiated the relationship with Toni after breaking it off. Tell her he loves her and he will leave his wife and then wait for Toni to break it off for her well being. As if Toni would have ever broken it off!
