Gerard has said that he does not know what happened to his wife #badenclay

 

[ollijack]

Why does he keep telling the jury not to take any notice of the media, aren't they forbidden
to look at the media.....

Byrne says Dr Hoskins said the marks were consistent with fingernails and that's as far as he would go. #badenclay

Thought he was not going to go through this evidence because the jurors had the transcripts??

Lol someone call the rspca. Talk about flogging a dead horse.
I hesitate to suggest that it seems like you're implying that he told a lie

Ooh look the smilies came in above the post

 

[Pastafarian]

If he was so forthcoming with his alleged shaving injury, why wasn't he immediately forthcoming with his other injuries to his chest ??

Defence asks: "Is there evidence of Allison's worsening mental health leading up to 19/20 April 2012?" #badenclay

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 49s
Defence barrister Michael Byrne raises Allison's guilt, anxiety, low mood, teariness in 2003 #badenclay

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 44s
Allison had same symptoms in 2011. Not here to criticise her - defence #badenclay

Sarah Elks ‏@sarahelks 27s

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 37s
Prosecution wants to use marks for basis to show he has lied - defence #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 12s
Byrne says they jury must bear in mind that the scratches themselves do not convict Gerard. #badenclay

A friend who is an Aussie lawyer messaged me the other day and said this is what will collapse the prosecution case - because they can not conclusively prove that the razor didn't cause the scrapes.

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 28s

The defence suggests that it is possible that Allison was suffering a lapse back into depression #badenclay

 

[JK673]

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 33s
Dr George says she had a reduced sense of worth, negative view of the future, prone to transient suicidal thoughts at that time. #badenclay

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 1m
At the time Allison had a negative outlook, low self-worth, panic attacks, transient suicidal thoughts - defence #badenclay

 

[Amee]

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 42s

It may well be that she also had suicidal thoughts, the defence suggests #badenclay

 

[JK673]

Sarah Elks ‏@sarahelks 25s
Hours into defence closing argument, barrister Michael Byrne raises suicide as possibility. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 8s
Byrne says when put in context, sure, she did have strong maternal attachments, but that doesn't mean she could control illness. #badenclay

 

[enthralled]

Im sick, Im disgusted, had no idea the Law was about lying

I suppose Byrne is just doing the job he is paid for and doesn't have much to work with, but in many ways I wonder if he gets embarrassed at all when he thinks about what he is going to have to say to defend his client. Deep down he must know how ridiculous it sounds. Bottom line is he does it for money and gbc did all his for money too.

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 39s

She had these thoughts back when she had a two-year old, and was 26-weeks pregnant #badenclay

 

[JK673]

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 6s
Byrne says the anxiety returned with Allison's third pregnancy. #badenclay

Sarah Elks ‏@sarahelks 50s
She had strong maternal instincts, but that doesn't mean she can control illness that is depression, defence's Byrne on Allison #badenclay

So many potentially incriminating co-incidences right at or around the time his wife ended up dead under a bridge. The jury's job is to consider are they evidence against him or just co -incidences.
