The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 18th June - Trial Day 6, Week 2

[madamehdivision]

:floorlaugh: I think I must be also.. wearing white and grey here.

Well, then I must be TERRIBLY depressed today. Wearing grey maternity sweatpants (and i'm not even pregnant) and a cream top, with dark grey uggs :blushing:

No judgment - its my day off

Tells officers he doesn't think there was anything that could have set her off, but raises 15 minute counselling sessions #badenclay


Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 55s

Gerard answers "never" when police ask if she has ever gone missing before. #badenclay


Jamie McKinnell ‏@jamie86 1m

Gerard #badenclay told officers he'd cut himself shaving. Sounds calm in the recording. @NewsTalk4BC


Tessa Scott ‏@TessaScott9 1m

Audio with police and #badenclay has resumed. They ask if marks on face are scratches. He says he cut himself shaving. @9NewsBrisbane

 

[Thinking]

A thought.
Those scratches on GBCs face were not there the night before. Professionals have stated they are not shaving cuts. GBC says they are shaving cuts. Therefore he is lying. Why would you lie about something like that if there was no reason too. If those scratches weren't on his face would this court case be happening? So glad Allison scratched him. IMO

I think this is the most critical element of the case lp - excellent point. I really hope the jury sees the importance of the scratches and asks themselves the question you asked - why would GBC lie about them? If he has lied about them, there is a very significant reason for the lie - the truth would blow everything for him.

Such poetic justice that it could lease: be Allison herself who actually has him put away for this.

But that would be on anyone's razor, mine included. And if it was chunky bits of skin wouldn't it be easier to pick out:sick::sick:

The thing is that if you cut yourself shaving once, it would only leave one mark, not three as displayed by GBC. Is he that stupid that we all believe he's a glutton for punishment?

Police: When she vents, does she scream at you? Gerard: Oh, god no. #badenclay http://bit.ly/badenclayday6

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 55s

They did one of the counselling sessions. Officer asks if Allison screams when she vents, he says no #badenclay


Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 1m

Gerard says the counsellor had told them to set aside 15 minutes for Allison to vent every second night. #badenclay

Gerard: I needed to be available to do the school run this morning. #badenclay :facepalm:

Gerard tells the officers he did his usual 's**t shower shave' that morning, read emails on toilet #badenclay

TMI

Don't know if I should be "thanking" you for that post Mrs G! :banghead:

 

[FigTree]

But I believe the razor was handed to Police (wrapped in plastic) by GBC at some point. If it was the same razor and he had cut himself, trace amounts of blood and skin would be found by forensics I think. No matter whether you rinse or not. But yes as you say on a visual inspection it may not be seen.

... and chest hair....
:facepalm:

Police: When someone goes missing, we have to make sure everything is kosher. They say there "doesn't seem to be a reason". #badenclay

Gerard says Allison had been looking forward to going to the conference that day. "We discussed that last night." #badenclay

 

[Freya1977]

Dr Sleuth & Mrs G, I'm happy to do all tweets - we seem to be double posting tweets - should we take shifts?

Gerard replies "yes, I cut myself shaving". He tells them he was in a hurry getting the girls ready that morning. #badenclay

Huh. This reminds me of Phil Broom's statement. He said GBC was very good at deflecting questions and he saw GBC do that in his one TV interview. I went back and watched the interview and picked it up. GBC answered the scratch question in exactly the same way.
