Fuller says from about 5.03pm until about 5.40pm, Gerard was talking to Toni McHugh. #badenclay

Fuller says the conversation was inflamed when it was raised that Allison and Toni would be at the same conference the next day. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard uses the words "two of my staff are going". Doesn't have the courage to say straight up it was his wife. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard said both Allison and Toni contacted him when they bumped into each other at the gym. #badenclay

Fuller says Allison had flashbacks about it. Gerard insists he was not concerned about the two women running into each other. #badenclay

Fuller says Allison had flashbacks about it. Gerard insists he was not concerned about the two women running into each other. #badenclay

Fuller says Toni made the decision to leave the business herself after Allison found out about the affair. #badenclay

Fuller says Toni was angry at person who let the affair slip. No suggestion that she was angry at Gerard until he made the claim. #badenclay

Fuller asks the jury to believe Toni's version of events. Toni told Gerard it was unfair for both women to be at the conference. #badenclay

Fuller says Toni had no option. She's just started a new job. She had to go. #badenclay

Sorry bit of a lag with the forum today

She's been blindsided. She's just started a new job, has to go to the conference - Fuller #badenclay

You might think that's a significant pressure as of 5.40pm - Fuller #badenclay

Is he going to just ignore it - Fuller #badenclay

He told Toni he was thinking of selling his business - Fuller #badenclay

He'd tried to get $300,000 from MP Bruce Flegg, said he would go bankrupt, just weeks earlier - Fuller #badenclay

Roles had been reversed, Toni used to be in the business, now it was Allison - Fuller #badenclay

Toni was angry, expressed it - Fuller #badenclay

Any disclosure the next day by Toni to Allison would have catastrophic effects to him - Fuller #badenclay

Fuller says it was that afternoon, April 19, on the phone to Toni, that he said he was going to sell the business. #badenclay

Fuller says it had not been that long since Gerard had told Sue Heath on the phone that he was about to go broke. #badenclay

Fuller says Toni said she was angry on the phone, she was expressing her anger. #badenclay

Fuller says in September, 2011, Gerard had to make significant changes. He told his staff about affair, Allison came to work. #badenclay

Fuller asks what was going to happen in Allison Baden-Clay found out for a second time. #badenclay

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 37s

That's what happened in September 2011 when Allison found out about the affair. She thought it was over - Fuller #badenclay

His choices were to tell Allison about the impending meeting or do nothing - Fuller #badenclay

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 39s

He tried to live without Toni and couldn't do it, he had to have her back in his life - Fuller #badenclay

He was going to be shown to be disingenuous in counselling, his undertakings, promises - Fuller #badenclay

He was either going to be a coward or a fool - Fuller #badenclay

The risks to his marriage, children, friends, business were huge - Fuller #badenclay

Add that to the scratches on his face, the leaves in her hair, her blood in the car - Fuller #badenclay

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

Another one? Or the same incident that was reported previously?

Fuller: When the ultimatum was coming the second time, what decision would he make. #badenclay

Fuller says he was going to be shown to be disingenuous, a coward or a fool. #badenclay

Fuller says you would think the person risks to Gerard were huge. #badenclay

Yet he doesn't mention any of these events when he talks to the police that day - Fuller #badenclay

Add that to the scratches on his face, the leaves in her hair, her blood in the car - Fuller #badenclay

When he gets up, he has no explanation for his phone being put o charge at 1.48am - Fuller #badenclay

There's phone calls to Allison almost straight away. Why? - Fuller #badenclay

Why straight after 6.32am does he begin a series of calls - Fuller #badenclay

He says she normally goes for a walk. Would you be concerned by that time of the morning - Fuller #badenclay

Gerard hasn't moved in the dock since Crown prosecutor Todd Fuller QC resumed his closing statement this morning - Fuller #badenclay

Fuller says he was in jeopardy, in respect to his friends, family, business. #badenclay

Fuller says you add that to the scratches, the blood in the car, the leaves in her hair. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard has no explanation for his charger being connected at 1.48am other than it must have been Allison. #badenclay

Fuller says that morning, April 20, there are a series of phone calls to Allison almost straight away. #badenclay

Fuller says, why is that? He doesn't know what time Allison is supposed to be meeting Kate Rankine for the conference. #badenclay

Fuller is showing the text message Gerard sent to Allison at 6.41am asking where she is. #badenclay

Fuller says where are you? The cars are there, she could only have gone for a walk. #badenclay

Fuller says the message talks about girls being up, making lunches. It was always the plan for Gerard to get girls ready. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard didn't bundle the girls into the car and do a quick couple of laps. He called his parents and waited for them. #badenclay
