11.30am: Gerard Baden-Clay stood in the dock as he was asked if he would adduce evidence in his defence.
Barrister Michael Byrne QC, for the accused, said his client would give evidence.
Members of the jury, Gerard Baden-Clay will get into the witness box, he said.
As youve heard members of the jury, the defence is going to give evidence. Critically and importantly Gerard Baden-Clay is going to give evidence. He will give that evidence to you under oath and he will say a number of things.
Perhaps at the forefront of what he will tell you is that he did not kill his wife. He will tell you that he did not leave his young girls alone in the house at Brookfield whilst he drove out to Kholo Creek on any occasion on the 19th or 20th of April, 2012.
He will tell you that he certainly did not transport or carry his wifes body down the muddy slope next to the Kholo Creek Bridge and he did not place it in the water at the bottom of that slope.
He did not drive back from Kholo Creek having walked through the mud and he did not because there was nothing in fact, to clean up at the house in the surrounds of the house or in the car.
Gerard Baden-Clay will tell you all of those things and will give you details of what did occur on those days, the 18th, 19th and 20th of April, 2012.
