I know I'm risking stones being thrown my way here (ducks) :thinking:... However, since much of the media attention (and attention here) is on TM driving GBC to murder and having to admit she played a role in it... I don't agree. I don't say she's smart, gifted, talented, funny, "Better than...

Good theory and nicely worded. I smirked at the end - a few times I've walked past the television over the last week when GBC media was on and said snidely, "Sucks to be you."

This is very insightful. I also think he unconsciously revealed a few truths during the trial that support the theory that he killed Allison but that someone else moved the body. He responded to accusations of murdering Allison in a flurry of questions with the generic "No, I did not" but seemed...

Yeah, at first I thought that he probably smothered her with a pillow while she was sleeping as it would be the easiest thing for him to do (if she was asleep, no initial resistance). However after a while I also felt this theory is right. I think it explains the chipped tooth and hand injury...

When news first broke of Allison's disappearance, quickly turning to media speculation about GBC committing the murder, I remember thinking two things as I looked over the articles and photos: 1.) He did this. 2) His appearance spoke volumes even in the photos about his mentality over the course...

re: t777 Though there are certainly some very solid legal minds here, I'm pretty sure GBC and his team will no stone unturned re: an appeal. I think anything we could speculate about has already been considered by his team already. I also doubt they'd be reading this forum - the GBC team and...

I think your opinion is sound and I can't really logically argue against it. For some reason though, in spite of all this I have a gut feeling his appeal won't be successful. Though the general expert opinion in the media is that the appeal won't be successful, this could be just a reflection of...

Someone did point out about the jury though that any man who shaves will probably call B.S. on GBC's "razor cut" theory. Then I thought: Won't many women think the same way? I shave my legs. I know what happens when the blade is too blunt and I cut into the skin. Blood comes out of the cut. Pus...

Yeah, Ferguson moved around a bit because of all the threats. Ironically Ferguson had a better chance of being murdered behind bars.

Prime, I don't think anyone will achieve it because there will be a police presence around GBC. However, the police may not be so eager to "protect" GBC. With Ferguson, they have to do it, and the way cops think is they distance themselves from the act of the person unless they are not directly...

QLD and I believe general Australian courts don't do the jury duty thing where people are holed up in hotels. No one I have ever known who has been a juror has done this here, and several people I know have been jurors on murder trials. The system follows more of a "we trust you'll keep this...

Yeah, I think the general feeling in Brisbane is that most of the jurors must think he's guilty (if not all) but a few are worried about the term "reasonable doubt". Anticipating a hung jury, I think the Judge (and prosecution probably at this point) are happy enough to have him charged for...

Doc, darling, are you okay? Come lieth upon my breast! Yes, my dear, use my bosoms as pillows with which to dry your tears! These breasts know nothing of past misdeeds, and offer solace to your cheeks with their caressing white fullness. Let us meet at the place where all romance springs -...

It might be true that he assisted Allison a lot like he says and that he looked after the children, too. This is only evidence of fatherhood, not being a miracle-worker. However if he wants to be found not guilty he and his lawyer have to establish with as much force as possible that Allison...

I'm not sure about how it would fit in with the timeline, but in terms of location - yes, you could absolutely kill someone up at Mt Cootha and no one would see. It's an awful thing to think about and say, I know. But Mt Cootha has its primary area (restaurant and cafe on the summit, the...

At first I thought, "yeah, it's possible his "half an hour" quote is an easy mistake anyone makes" because I know a lot of people who will say, "So i went to the shops/was asleep/dropped into work for maybe half an hour" and they don't realize it was more like 2 hours than half an hour. People...

Totally agree...except if he keeps on talking like he's reading his resume, showing holiday slides, and outlining the major global events occurring over the last twenty years, then maybe the jury will think "He's not even bothering to justify his relevant behaviour?" and he will be found guilty...

Yes, I absolutely agree. I know it's been brought up here before many times but I don't see how the jury could overlook his flat response to Allison's disappearance. If someone in my family went missing, I would be be crying, trying not to be hysterical. I would be obsessed with finding them...

Why was he photographed doing this, though? I haven't seen the photo so I don't know if it was in the media or a personal photo. But 99% of people who helped in the clean-up did not get photographed, nor did they ask someone to take a photo of themselves cleaning up... sorry, just sounds to me...

Sorry Freya – I should have clarified this… I’ve been reading the forums since the start of the trial, and while it seems like it’s 90% Aussies (and mostly Brisbanites) I was surprised at the number of Americans, Germans and other people posting from overseas. I thought, “How do I describe the...
