Allison Baden-Clay - GENERAL DISCUSSION THREAD #37

Alioop- so we basically get the thumbs up that things are proceeding on this September date and nothing else? Is this date just a precaution for GBC to show to him and others before a judge that the police were not playing silly buggers and were serious about the arrest? Will any more information regarding the case be available on this basis? (that is;- will the police and investigators need to show the solicitors how serious they were about the arrest and give them facts and figures?)

I am guessing we will spend another 3 months in pergatory deliberating on the shaky info we have to date......

It is unlikely to be very exciting and probably boring though who knows we may get a snippet of something. The magistrate will want to know if the handover of evidence by august 20 occurred and an update on the progress of the forensic accounting. One or both sides may raise something that the magistrate will have to make an order about. Then the magistrate will set another mention date I expect shortly after the forensic accounting info handover is due. No need for GBC to be there.

Yes totally agree with you Rational. He could plead guilty once his lawyer has given him advice having seen all the evidence or perhaps after the committal. Also the processes leading up to a trial may run smoother than the Sica trial. He caused delays by firing lawyers. Also if we get the new judge then the court can get through more pending trials. So indeed lots of variables. But it is not beyond the realms of possibilities that it could take 3 years.

Alioop what happens if he pleads Not Guilty ?

Alioop what happens if he pleads Not Guilty ?

Then it goes to trial, though he can change his plea at any time throughout the process.
