The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 19th June - Trial Day 7, Week 2

[Mrs G Norris]

Interesting timing on this visit to Dr George ..

Prof Wells deserves a high:great: five!!

I already had a big sleuth-crush on Dr Hoskins, but Dr Wells might be edging ahead

Noting the way the prosecution is presenting the medical witnesses in order of increasing specialist expertise and strength of argument makes me a bit more secure that they're really building up the case carefully and leaving the most damning evidence to last.

Agree...they're saving the big clangers till last. Very similar to how it went in Cowans trial.

Tessa Scott ‏@TessaScott9 1m

Dr George asked if Allison ever showed suicidal tendancies. "Not to my memory... that was never an issue." @9NewsBrisbane #badenclay

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 3m

Allison was on a standard dose of Zoloft, possible to go much higher - Dr George #badenclay

David Murray ‏@TheMurrayD 1m

Dr George says 'none whatsoever' when asked if he had any concerns of suicide #badenclay

 

[marlywings]

I don't think defence has much of a leg to stand on at all now.

Non suicidal...no shaver scratches.

Dr George says beyond the first one or two consultations, Allison was fine. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 20s

Dr George is now being questioned by the defence. #badenclay

Defence is going through Allison's more extreme symptoms in 2003. #badenclay

Allison was 26 weeks pregnant with a two year old daughter when she first saw Dr George in 2003. #badenclay

Interesting timing on this visit to Dr George ..

Agree Mrs G...

Affair with TM in full swing now, GBC starting to withdraw emotionally and physically, and poor Allison not knowing what she's done wrong! Heartbreaking

Kate Kyriacou @KateKyriacou · 13s

Defence says Allison's first panic attack was while driving. #badenclay

Dr George says Allison was more suffering from depression than anxiety at that time. The anxiety was secondary. #badenclay

Dr George: She was an anxious sort of person at the best of times. He says it affected her depression. #badenclay

 

[they'll get you]

I don't think defence has much of a leg to stand on at all now.

Non suicidal...no shaver scratches.

Today I'm feeling more confident than before.

Yep exactly .. and Gerard admits to the doctor in front of her that he wants out too!

Prof Wells was asked about injuries from a damaged razor. He says the pictured razor he saw did not seem to be damaged. #badenclay

Prof Wells has been excused. #badenclay

Kate Kyriacou ‏@KateKyriacou 1m
Gerard told the psych Allison was capable and made decisions while he was away but was "so dependant" on him when he was home. #badenclay

Be honest Gerard .. isn't that why you chose her?

It's easier when you don't have someone looking over your shoulder criticising?

[Mrs G Norris]

Allison didn't need Zoloft .. she needed to get out of her marriage .. a shot of confidence with a job (independent of GBC) may have been the best thing that could have happened to her. Such a shame it didn't go that way!

Dr George says it is not unusual for any medical condition to return as a pregnancy advances. #badenclay

Dr George agrees Gerard called him when Allison was pregnant for the third time concerned she would be disappointed she was having a girl.

Gerard told the doctor they had both wanted a boy. #badenclay

Dr George says Allison was disappointed initially but recovered very quickly. #badenclay
