Brizzi tells court of moment PC Semple wasn't breathing 'I started to panic ... I tried to do mouth to mouth ... I wanted him to breath'

I'm wondering if he's still giving evidence in chief or if he's being cross-examined.

Sounds like the former with no questions from prosecution QC being tweeted.

‘He was calling me “daddy”, “boss” and “sir”.’
‘He actually looked at me and asked me “can I please be collared sir?”‘
When asked if there was anything non-consensual about their sexual activity, he replied: ‘Not at all, he was keen, he was enthusiastic.’

From what I have learned about statement analysis, the word actually indicates this is probably a lie.

"He insisted I should pull more and for longer, I knew it was dangerous", he said.

Interesting, he has a defence witness

Trial (Part Heard) - Witness Number 19 Sworn - 12:33

I wonder why it hasn't gone to cross-examination first. That's puzzling.

Unless they have bent the rules to accommodate a witness who is only available today.

I will hold my hands up and say - whatever works for you is your business but I do not personally 'get' this kind of thing ... I just don't understand it and find it worrying that people will go to extremes where injury or death 'could' occur all in the name of sexual thrill ... will we hear whether Gordon was known to be into the seriously submissive stuff? As in Ched Evans case, it would be relevant wouldn't it?

 

[Tealgrove]

I'm always afraid to open this thread. A witness? Groan........

I agree mrazda71. I have a gay male friend who is somewhat "into" this type of thing. He has told me things that I wish he never had. I don't get it. His thing is that it's "the thrill" of it all. The danger excites him. I'll never get it.

Oh Tealgrove! Haven't seen you in a while and you still have Becky's beautiful face as your picture ❤😞 her brother is breaking my heart right now!

Hmmmm maybe I've always been a bit too sensible but ... nearly dying is just a bit too dangerous for me!

All I keep thinking with this case is 'please let his partner already know these things about Gordon' ... I dont know you'd begin to cope hearing these things

I agree. If this wasn't known to Gordon's partner it is so extreme that I don't know how you could come terms with what we are hearing. It does appear that Gordon was seeking out "adventure" in his sex life. I have a terrible feeling that the Partner was unaware.

OT, I've been around. I have been deeply involved in the Tim Bosma (Dellen Millard/Mark Smich) trial (trials) for the last little while. It's been quite consuming.

OK I can kind of see it being a sex game gone wrong but there is no defence for anything that happened after her died....

'So the bruising to the lip, that could be consistent with a punch rather than somebody spreading their buttocks over someone's face?'

Stefano Brizzi said after PC Semple's death, he thought police were controlling Grindr and his alleged victim had been sent to check on him
