[Tishy]

Sarah Elks ‏@sarahelks 49s
Defence barrister Michael Byrne has now been delivering his closing argument to the jury for about 3.5 hours. End not in sight. #badenclay

IMOO
The Jury will be just about Over this...

Byrne says the best evidence is what the jury can see for themselves. #badenclay

Is it illegal or just immoral to mislead a jury with the tide 'evidence'?

 

[Freya1977]

That could be the case (I'm unsure), but remember that he was commissioned by the Crown, not GBC.

They're talking about the DEFENCE's botanist.

The time lapse video paints "a very different picture" to Crown's evidence about the leaves in Allison's hair, Byrne says. #badenclay

Byrne is now discussing "the marks on the face of Gerard Baden-Clay".

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 4s
Byrne says Gerard has never, from April 20, 2012, to last week when he gave evidence, made any attempt to conceal the marks. #badenclay

 

[JCB]

that is incorrect.. Ashton Ward.. the botanist is the defence botanist.

I thought we were referring to Gordon Guymer? Ashton Ward was not a botanist to my knowledge.

Byrne says he also never gave any other explanation than they were shaving cuts. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 13s
Byrne says Gerard called the police to his home that day and the marks where there for all to see. #badenclay

Yes because he thought they would buy his story

I thought AShton Ward was the video guy and church guy

the prosecutor had to get a court ordered warrant and have him shaved involuntarily once he was arrested.. as soon as Alison died he began to grow a beard..

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 1m
First officer went t check for blood and domestic violence and found nothing - defence #badenclay
Gerard has told everyone what caused those marks. Open and candid - defence #badenclay

 

[JCB]

They're talking about the DEFENCE's botanist.

The defence did not call a botanist.

Thanks JCB. With all due respect that is a post by yourself, and I assume all your own opinion. You are entitled to that.

However, I have my own views, based on the real experts that were asked to be on the witness stand. The beauty of a forum like WS.

 

[tarjessi]

The defence is painting a very weak picture in my opinion...looking forward to the prosecution shooting this all down with their closing statements...

 

[Freya1977]

Sarah Elks ‏@sarahelks 54s
He's always been "open and candid" about the fact they're shaving scrapes, even to police, defence says. #badenclay

Francene Norton ‏@francenenorton 1m
Byrne says #badenclay made no attempt to conceal marks on his face "or to give any explanation other than they were shaving scrapes."

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 1m
Gerard told the police they were shaving cuts, doesn't change story - defence #badenclay
Gerard was not concerned about those marks - defence #badenclay

Byrne says Gerard has told everyone what happened to his face in an open and candid fashion. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 34s
Byrne says even when police said they didn't look like shaving cuts, he didn't change his story. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 21s
Byrne: Clearly Gerard Baden-Clay was not concerned about those marks.

This is all contradictory - he WAS clearly concerned BECAUSE he kept talking about them -0 LYING 101

I think thou doest protest too much

Bullmanure. What was the beard then?

the police took his only razor. and nobody would lend him $300,000 to buy a new one.
