The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 26th June - Trial Day 11, Week 3

[Smegal]

Why are they talking about what happened ten years ago when GBC said numerous times to the police she was fine?

And why the heck did it take his mother to refer Allison to a doctor? Even if you don't believe in depression if your wife fainted in get car wouldn't you take her to hospital? Such a loving and caring husband.

Also, I don't believe for one minute Allison never got angry and shouted at him re the affair. I am not one who gets angry often (obviously talking about GBC is a big exception) and certainly am not violent. But when I was in my early 20s and found out my long term boyfriend slept with someone else I was so angry I had to be restrained as I was kicking the living day lights out of his gammy knee.

 

[PrimeSuspect]

The way the defence is building this up to so much blame on everyone, everything but GBC.

Almost making it sound like a mercy killing. Like they are covering all bases. jmho

"Throughout this they maintained the outer image of a normal couple." This is before they had 3rd child. @9NewsBrisbane #badenclay

12:16pm: Mr Byrne said Mr and Mrs Baden-Clay then obtained positions as volunteers with an international scouts organisation in Switzerland.

"You would understand why Gerard would be excited about that prospect because of his family background," Mr Byrne said.

Mr Baden-Clay is the great-grandson of scouting movement founder Lord Robert Baden-Powell.

Despite relationship strain, Allison told Gerard she wanted another child, a son. @9NewsBrisbane #badenclay


Sarah Elks ‏@sarahelks 1m
#badenclay will tell jury his love life with Allison was "non-existent" by 2004, her antidepressant drugs caused her libido to dive.

Byrne says their real estate business won a local award in its first year. #badenclay



Byrne says the business was going forward but his relationship with Allison was deteriorating. #badenclay

Sounds like he wants a "husband & father of the year award" as well.

When Gerard worked in real estate would be home at 5pm for "happy hour" - feed, bathe kids. A would go to bed. @9NewsBrisbane #badenclay


Please everyone, a round of applause for the hero?

No, he was playing with his mistresses!

Byrne says Allison, in Gerard's words, "desperately" wanted another child. Gerard didn't think it was a good idea. #badenclay

Byrne says Allison desperately wanted a son because there were no male Baden-Clays.

Byrne says "in the context of that background" Gerard had an affair with Michelle Hammond. #badenclay

right there.. he has sunk himself.. double whammy.

Tessa Scott ‏@TessaScott9 1m
In the context of this, Gerard had an affair with a woman named Michelle Hammond. @9NewsBrisbane #badenclay


Elise Eyears ‏@eliseeyears 1m
Defence tells Allison wanted another child but Gerard didn't accept. Allison became more depressed. Gerard eventually agreed. #badenclay

BBM - I'm DISGUSTED that he uses this as "context"!

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 39s
Their love life was non existent - defence #badenclay

And yet Allison's diary records how she despaired that he would not cuddle her or sleep in the same bed.

 

[Inspector]

Where did G's blood on the towel come from then?

Fingernail scratches??

 

[Mrs G Norris]

HAHA!!! Yesterday I was worried that the case the prosecution put forward was it, but NOW we have Gerard taking the stand and that means the jury will see exactly what it was about him that made the police so suspicious .. I love when a defendant shoots themselves in the foot by taking the stand .. O happy day!
