The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 24th June - Trial Day 9, Week 3

[Amee]

12:42pm: Professor Wallman said he examined samples of fly eggs, fly maggots, adult flies and two beetles found on Mrs Baden-Clay's remains.

He said he determined "the person had been dead for at least the same age as the samples".

He said his findings could be consistent with Mrs Baden-Clay having been dead for 11 days before her body was found.

Professor Wallman, however, said he could not determine whether Mrs Baden-Clay's body had been submerged in water at any time.

12:39pm: Forensic entomologist Professor James Wallman, who specialises in the examination of insect specimens found at alleged crime scens, has been called to testify by phone.

Professor Wallman was asked to determine a "minimum time of death" in relation to Mrs Baden-Clay. He was also asked to determine whether Mrs Baden-Clay's body had been submerged at any time in the creek adjacent to where it was found.

What? He couldn't google that himself... Surely that would be part and parcel of his job. Bodies decompose at different rates in the Arctic than they do in the tropics.

One would have to think that one's employer might be slightly concerned at evidence of a lack of strategic thinking and thorough investigation of investment opportunities coming out of this..

In a typical drowning scenario, when a person takes in water they also take in diatoms #badenclay

Dr John says in the typical drowning scenario, diatoms would enter the human body. #badenclay
