12:09pm Recap: "The key to the trial is in fact what's building on this man here. What's changing in his life over the period of time that we've looked at? What pressure have been brought to bear by his wife, by Toni McHugh and by the drama he was having in his business," Mr Fuller said.

"The Crown says the killing was this man's reaction to a particular set of circumstances that accumulated over time, a set of circumstances which, with respect, were of his own making."

Are the BC's looking at all worried?

They should be.

Fuller says defence suggestion is she took antidepressant, became disorientated, somehow made it 13km then dived or fell. #badenclay

Fuller says Allison had been on sertraline for a long time. Nearly nine years. #badenclay

Fuller says her usage was closely monitored by her psychiatrist Dr Tom George #badenclay

Fuller says defence says she had upped her dose to 100mg and developed seratonin syndrome. #badenclay

Fuller says Allison's prescription had been increased seven months earlier with no trouble. #badenclay

Fuller says on March 19, 2012, Allison went to her GP. It wasn't about her mental health, it was for a Pap smear. #badenclay

Prosecution: we do know someone who's good at covering his tracks, avoiding suspicion, living a lie #badenclay @abcnews

Fuller says while she was there, she asked for a script for sertraline. She'd done that regularly. #badenclay

Fuller says once you have a diagnosis, people can use it against you, no matter how you have adjusted. #badenclay

12:23pm: Mr Fuller reminded the jury two forensic toxicologists said it was unlikely Mrs Baden-Clay was adversely affected by the antidepressant drug Sertraline, sold as Zoloft.

Even forensic toxicologist Dr Michael Robertson, who was called by the defence, said the level of the drug found in Mrs Baden-Clay's body was not consistent with Sertraline-related deaths.

Fuller says March 19 appointment was not about the return of a major depressive illness. It was about a Pap smear. #badenclay

Fuller is showing a picture of the box of Allison's sertraline, found in the console of the Captiva. #badenclay

Prosecutor Todd Fuller - it seems once you've had a diagnosis of depression, people are able to use it against you forever

 

[Amee]

12:26pm: Mr Fuller said Mrs Baden-Clay's diagnosis with "major depressive disorder" in 2003 should not be "used against her".

He said a diagnosis should not be relied upon to discredit a person in the face of the treatment a person has received or the medication they have been prescribed.

Fuller says Gerard told police he knew nothing about Allison's sertraline, had been searching the house for it. #badenclay

Fuller says police found it in the Captiva. A foil inside. Ten tablets, all empty. Does that scream of an overdose? #badenclay

Fuller: She doesn't take the tablets with her, no suggestion of that. #badenclay


Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 3s

Fuller says the box contained 30 tablets. She'd had the box for over 30 days. #badenclay

Fuller: You might think she has taken the last tablet close to the 19th of April. #badenclay

 

[PrimeSuspect]

The Baden-Clay clan have a lot to answer for, they persisted with the lie that Allison was depressed and on the verge of suicide for 15yrs. jmo

 

[MRSA]

I really hate to introduce stuff at this late stage that members have no doubt discussed previously, but were Allison’s house keys on the Captiva key fob?

If she went walking without house keys, how did she propose to get back into the house? Did she have to knock? Or was the door left unlocked when others were home?

Were the defendant or the daughters questioned about Allison’s usual practice in gaining entry to the house upon returning from walking?
