Fuller says Gerard told the marriage counsellor, Carmel Ritchie, his wife didn't trust him. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard was only there because Allison wanted him to go, not because he wanted to save the marriage. #badenclay

Justice John Byrne will order the Sheriff of Queensland to investigate an approach to the #badenclay jury

WHAT!! Some people are stupid.....they cannot jeopardise this trial!

 

[missfisher]

Well damn that.....I am so offended she is all smiley and happy....the hide....not a nice thing for
Allisons family to see grrrrrrrrr :gaah:

I think when you've lived inside such a horrible scenario for so long, there gets to be a kind of "normal" that develops as a coping mechanism - otherwise you'd go crazy. I'm sure the Dickies have their happy moments as well. And of course all these people have young children to bring up at the same time - it's important to stay sane for them.

Fuller says the advice Gerard got from the marriage counsellor was to sit and listen to his wife. #badenclay

Allison found out about the Toni McHugh affair the previous year, until then thought it was all her fault - Fuller #badenclay

Fuller says Allison always blamed herself. But after the affair, she knew someone else was at fault. #badenclay

Fuller says Allison was "over the moon" Gerard had gone to see the counsellor. He says it's an insight into her mind. #badenclay

Fuller says the phrase did not mean they were back on an even keel as Gerard suggested. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard would have the jury believe it was just Toni McHugh making the contact. Not true. The emails show that. #badenclay

Oh Allison, you were far too good for this $%^$ & his family!!

“My life really changed when I got married and had kids …

“If my relationship ends it will be because G [Gerard] has had enough and doesn't love me anymore and of all the crap I have dished out to him over the past 13 years.”

In December that year she wrote: “I am happiest when I am loved …

“I wish my husband loved me like he did before we were married.

“I hate it when my husband treats me like **** …

“I would give anything if my partner would love me and make love to me …

“If only I had given more sex and put some more work into our marriage and not just been a mother …

“It hurts me when my partner won’t give me a proper hug.

“I feel most lonely when my partner won’t sleep in the same bed.”

“I am grateful for the lovely text I just received from my husband,” she wrote on April 16, 2010.

“I am grateful for my husband taking the time and effort to make my morning smoothie,” she wrote on April 19, 2010.

“I am afraid of losing my marriage, being a single mum, my husband leaving, my marriage failing,” she wrote.

“I love my husband ...

“Friends think we are ‘all together’.

“I feel like a phony when I am out with Gerard and his office staff …

“Together we can have a wonderful life ...

“I believe I can save this marriage.

“Men need sex and want to win and need to be the centre of attention.

“Women work the hardest in a relationship and after they’ve had kids get shoved aside.”

Wow this could have been my diary during my relationship with a controlling narcissistic modsnip! Darling Allison you were so beautiful and gifted. Your marriage was a tissue of lies and the only reason it lasted this long was because of you and your strength. You were not to blame. I can see his words in yours and how he belittled and blamed you for his shortcomings. I wish you had left him and were here today. Justice for Allison.

April 18. Toni says they were still having daily contact - Fuller #badenclay

 

[drsleuth]

Fuller says just like the explanation of the shaving cuts, just like the finances, he had to make up a story to explain actions. #badenclay


Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 16s

Fuller says he tells Toni McHugh he loves her, he tells her in the emails and on the phone. #badenclay

Fuller says how do you put all that together other than he loves Toni. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard's claim that he and Allison's question and answer session was on April 18 is not true. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard made it clear to the police early on that it was on April 19. #badenclay

Fuller is talking about the night of April 18 when Nigel and Elaine came to watch the children. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 26s

Fuller asks is that when Allison retired for the night and wrote out her list of questions? #badenclay

Fuller says Allison retired and left her husband watching TV with his parents. #badenclay

Fuller asks if Allison was so upset about the birth of her nephew, what happens the next day? #badenclay


Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 20s

Fuller says April 19 was a normal day. Allison took the children to school, told friends she was happy about the birth. #badenclay

Fuller: Nobody has noticed anything unusual. #badenclay

sorry got booted

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 2m

Prosecutor Todd Fuller says Gerard's statements to police show he and Allison talked April 19, not the 18th as Gerard claimed #badenclay

If Allison was so upset about failing to produce a male heir, it is business as usual for her April 19 - Fuller #badenclay

She expressed happy about her nephew, nobody noticed anything unusual April 19 - Fuller #badenclay

She spent the day planning for the future in the business, talked about her family, laughing and joking with staff - Fuller #badenclay

All the staff described her as being excited about the conference the next day - Fuller #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 41s

Fuller says and yet, Gerard would have you believe the question and answer session happened the night before. #badenclay

Fuller says on April 19, staff described Allison as upbeat, laughing and joking, introduced a trainer to her husband. #badenclay

Fuller says Allison was excited about the conference the next day, was excited about plans for the business. #badenclay

Fuller says even Gerard told the police everything was fine, no reason that his wife would disappear. #badenclay

Fuller says Allison had a hair appointment, children were at the school cross country. #badenclay

Fuller says the kids ate dinner at Nigel and Elaine's, then went home and were tucked into bed. #badenclay

Fuller says what we didn't hear about was the conversation with Toni McHugh, except from Toni McHugh. #badenclay
