Byrne says Gerard had no intention of leaving his wife and children for Toni McHugh. There was no reason to. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 26s
Byrne: Does he kill his wife to be with Toni McHugh? Not likely. #badenclay

Hopefully the prosecution explain that TONI was not the motive - money was

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · now

No of course not. But killing her for the money .....different kettle of fish....too many universes colliding on that day even for Gerred..

No. It was the MONEY.

History of asthma? Subliminally suggesting she may have had an asthma attack while walking? Has the reverse effect on me - dangerously easier to asphyxiate an asthmatic.

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · now
Byrne says that if there was going to be a trigger, an explosion, it would have been when Allison found out. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 9s
Byrne says there were tears but no raised voices. It was done calmly. #badenclay

What was done calmly - the murder???

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 31s

Gerard admitted the affair to Allison months earlier, yet there was no explosion, no tempers frayed #badenclay

 

[Freya1977]

Sarah Elks ‏@sarahelks 47s
Defence says it's cruel, but Toni McHugh is 'wallpaper', an 'artefact', he was dangling on a string. Not a motive for murder. #badenclay

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 50s
Allison found out about the affair, he confessed - defence #badenclay
If there was an explosion that would be a good occasion - defence #badenclay

Katrina Blowers ‏@katrinablowers 1m
Defence: "Toni McHugh is not the motive. She is, like the blood, an artefact something..in the background." @7NewsBrisbane #badenclay

If she didn't believe it, why should you - defence #badenclay
Another email Gerard said 'leave things to me now' - defence #badenclay

If TM didn't believe a word he said, why should you????? Good point Mr Byrne....good point. I thank-you for highlighting the fact of copious previous untruths being spoken to all and sundry....to the jury. Two thumbs up!!!
:great:
