Fuller says the next day he tells Toni to tell the truth to police. What option did he have? #badenclay

Fuller says he knows the police are looking at him. They're taking photos of his injuries. #badenclay

Fuller says if he'd told her to lie, it would have all unravelled. #badenclay

10:52am: Mr Fuller has turned his attention to a list of questions in Mrs Baden-Clay's diary.

The questions relate to Mr Baden-Clay's affair with Ms McHugh.

"These were rudimentary questions. How many times did you go to the movies? What did you see? Did you kiss and hug?" Mr Fuller said.

Mr Baden-Clay has claimed he and his wife discussed those questions on the night of Wednesday April 18, 2012.

"These questions and the answers that he gave were asked on the 19th, you might think," Mr Fuller told the jury.

He said Mr Baden-Clay had made passing reference to having a 15 minute conversation on the night of the 19th with his wife in two interviews with police.

The couple had been advised by marriage counsellor Carmel Ritchie to sit for 15 minutes each night to allow Mrs Baden-Clay to air her feelings about the affair.

Fuller - #badenclay knew Toni McHugh was 'unconditionally' his. All he had to do was pick up the phone and tell her he was ready.

What's the first question Toni asked when she found out? 'Did you argue.' - Fuller #badenclay

He told Toni to lay low. The next day he told her to tell the truth. Because he had no other option - Fuller #badenclay

A brief adjournment #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

bingo, the timing of calls was always so screwed up, glad TF has made a point of this to the jury

Trooper, mesmerised is the right word (of course coming from you !!). What an agonising start to this last day, I nearly lost my cool here, trying to press refresh buttons in every which way possible. You must be able to hear a pin drop in the court room itself?
