Not that anyone is counting

I am also in the minority. I believe GBC probably is guilty but I still don't believe it has been proved beyond reasonable doubt. There may be many reasons a small amount of Alison's blood is in the car. Over my life I have probably had small bleeds hundrens of times--anything from a ripped...

Husband, real estate agent, adulterer and efficient killer - those were some of the roles played by Gerard Baden-Clay, jurors in his murder trial have been told. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/2014/07/08/07/36/baden-clay-jury-to-hear-final-defence-case

I agree that Fuller put on a consumate performance today and was very logical with his arguments. And thanks for the constact updates during the day. I am interested in the Judges summing up for the jury. My niggling doubt about reasonable doubt is subsiding but is still there. The main concern...

Thanks for this summary. I believe you have clearly detailed some of my misgivings regards the evidence presented by the prosecution. Do you or any Websleuths you any knowledge, opinion regards the onboard computers built into Captivas? Do they give detailed information regards mileage and...

When I get home from work tomorrow evening we may have a verdict. If the jury go with the general feel of this forum and with the opportunity of seeing GBC first hand, the Kholo bridge, the house, the agreed facts and having a birds eye view of all the witnesses they come to and "undeniable...

I reconnise GBC and his family have harped on about depression but the fact remains she was prescribed Zoloft for depression and she had Zoloft in her pathology. She was being actively treated for depression.

But he can only sum up on the evidence presented. He cannot allude to other evidence in his summing up. The onus was on the prosecution to present the evidence and prove the point.

Over the course of this trial I have only posted occasionally until yesterday. Some of the questions I have been posting are "devils advocate" questions that I would be asking if I was a juror. I attended one day at committal when "those" damning photos were shown and the court room was silent...

It could be argued 1. he lived close to his parents and initially asked them for help. He was not close to Alison's parents and may not have wanted to alarm them unnecessarily and this early stage. 2. Why would he be worried about ringing TM when his wife was missing 3. Was he ever asked to...

One of the problems I have with this case is that I have read all the statements from committal. However, they were not witnesses at trial and not subjected to a trail defence lawyers cross examination. Some of the committal statements painted a dire financial situation. It may well have been...

But there was no additional incrimination information

With regard to the pyjamas my point there are a lot of maybes. It would have been simple to determine if they were in the house and if they were where they were located. The police who searched the house would know. You can't suddenly bring it up as evidence in the summary if you have not...

I wonder if the defence will use this in summing up. If the prosecution case is that Alison was murdered and back home by 1.48 then if Alison had gone for a late night walk to clear her head (there is ample evidence she had plenty on her mind-marital stress, weverevfinancial stress, coping with...

I would also hope they were reinterviewed but if they were nothing significant resulted or it would have been played in court

And if they did why were these tapes not played in court if they differed from the original

I can't understand why the Prosecution did not ask the police who searched the house once it became a crime scene whether or not pyjamas were found anywhere in the house. If they were not in the bedroom they could have been in the bathroom etc. The prosecution have not proved they were missing...

I believe in their summing up the defence will hone in on the no cause of death. The onus is on the prosecution to prove murder not for the defence to disprove it. An one of the key issues is to actually prove that a murder occurred in the first place.

Why would they say that Alison took her mobile phone when she went for a walk if she was only walking on the treadmill at home.

This interview was the afternoon of Alison's disappearance. It seems to confirm Alison went for walks and took her phone with her
