Last warning on "that" address. Leave it out of the discussions thanks.

Unless you have a media link then it can't be posted or discussed.
 
What is live-stream. Is it a visual or written tweet?
Do we download a link thingy?
 
Hopefully this is relevant.

At 9.15 am on Tuesday 3rd August 1999, the Federal Court of Australia became the first Australian court to broadcast live streaming video and audio of a judgment summary over the Internet. The case was Australian Olympic Committee Inc v Big Fights Inc [1999] FCA 1042.

The Court is keen to continue to improve public access with the use of live streaming video/audio. Further live and archived broadcasts of judgment summaries are posted on this page as they become available.

How to use streaming video/audio

Viewing videos on your computer is only possible if you have video playing software installed. Windows Media Player is one such software program and is free to download. Use the link below to download Windows Media Player.

Do we want court TV?
Justice Martin signed off on an incredible first for WA in the lead-up to the high profile trial of Lloyd Rayney, a former barrister who in 2012 stood accused of the murder of his Supreme Court registrar wife Corryn.
A media room with live-streaming access to court proceedings was established in the Perth District Court, allowing journalists in the state for the first time to cover a trial live on social media and blogs.
The Supreme Court's Chief Justice and staff had pre-empted the public interest in proceedings. They took an expensive punt and most in media would argue it paid off.
On the day Mr Rayney was found not guilty the courtroom that had been home to his trial was filled beyond capacity with members of the public.
Attendees spilled into a second room and lined hallways.
Had there been live streaming on the internet these people could have watched from the comfort of their homes.

No live broadcast to general public. It will be the same as it was for Cowan's trial...

The trial will attract intense media scrutiny and will be live streamed to reporters who cannot all fit into the courtroom. The trial will not be broadcast

The massive public interest in the trial has necessitated the establishment of a second “overflow court’’ where the proceedings would be live-streamed, including a separate private room for the Morcombe family.

I live in Tassie, but will be in Brisbane next Thursday- what are my chances of getting in to the court room do you think?

(I have only been in a criminal court trial once- when we were in Sydney, just sticky beaking. The defendant, who was subsequently found guilty of some sort of white collar fraud, was a chap I'd been at school with in Melbourne, more than two decades before!)

At 02:19 in the video above the journalist states;

There will be a media room set up inside the court to accommodate the huge media contingent. And also another courtroom will live stream the trial for interested members of the public.

I take this to mean that the second courtroom being set up for live streaming will be for members of the public who may not be able to fit into the main courtroom.

Thanks sosocurious.
If TM did not see GMC physically (note the carefully chosen words 'saw' not 'spoke'), then my guess would be that she saw him after this time with video calls like skype or facetime.

Wasn't there another later statement made by TM that was not published as part of the bail hearing docs?
If so, I think the contents will reveal the true extent of her involvement (plus immunity deal if any) and what GBC told her about that night.

Also it is worth mentioning again (discussed in previous threads) that in the time leading up to the alleged murder, I recall GBC phone records did not show any contact with TM, but afterwards, while Allison was missing, there were plenty.

My Opinion Only...
Due to trust issues, Allison was checking his phone regularly, so he had to be careful about contacting TM. But he knew she would never be able check his phone logs again after she "went for a walk" so he was 'free' to call her and do what he wanted. Business as usual.

MOO IMO etc

If there is immunity does that need to be disclosed in court? Marly/Alioop?

A question for those in the know : If there were accomplices after the fact, is it unusual they have not been charged with anything? Or is it not unheard of for them to concentrate on the main perp and then turn their sights to them later? Obviously giving them immunity to testify is a recognised scenario. I just don't think TM was involved at all and it is way more likely his father and sister.

Snap! My thoughts too, but maybe a little info from TM?

Nor the shenanigans that OW got up to on previous court appearances by GBC, we trust. Can't see His Honour allowing OW to rush to the glass cage and carry on like a raw prawn as she did in the hearings.

Raw prawn for the non Aussies here equates to idiot! IMO of course!

No problems. Suggest you be outside the courtroom door at no later than 9.45am even a bit earlier if you can, then as soon as security opens the doors go straight in and find a seat in the public seating. Allow for time to get through security at the court entry, just like the airport hand luggage scanner. You can come and go as you please, just bow to the judge on the way in and out. There will also be a sign on the door with the room number of the media room for the live streaming that anyone can go to if the main courtroom is full.

I think it would be. I am sure the defence would be told this and it is relevant to the credibility of the witness. So the prosecution would raise it in cross examination I am sure as a means of damaging the witnesses credibility of damning testimony against the accused.
 
Removed a couple of posts.

Please keep derogatory comments/name calling out of the discussion thanks folks.
