The Crown v Gerard Baden-Clay, 7th July - Trial Day 15

[samanthaj]

10:24am: "There is no direct evidence that Gerard Baden-Clay killed Allison. There are no eye-witnesses. There are no admissions that he did that. The case on which the prosecution relies to prove his guilt ... relies on circumstances," Mr Byrne said.

"The circumstances: he was the last person to see her; he was with her on the night of the 19th. That's a circumstance.

"Does that prove he's guilty? Of course not."

Byrne asks the jury how Gerard killed his wife. How did Allison die? What caused her death? #badenclay

Byrne asks how the Crown can say Allison was violently murdered? #badenclay

Byrne: Does the evidence even reveal how she did in fact die? #badenclay

Byrne says the jury should think of the evidence of pathologist Dr Nathan Milne. #badenclay

 

[Maigret]

He hit his kids didn't he ? No child is suddenly quiet when a parent puts a hand up unless they have good reason to fear what that hand means

#badenclay 's defence team has begun a powerpoint presentation. @7NewsBrisbane

The prosecution should have gone one better and shown a dramatic re-enactment.....

And for the most part he remained unmoved/controlled until he became quite the crier in court...

Byrne says the pathologist examined Allison's brain, organs, and could not establish a cause of death. #badenclay


Byrne says a precision 3D CT scan was conducted and could find no definite injuries to Allison's body. #badenclay

Byrne says it's alleged there was a violent intentional murder. But no injuries found. #badenclay

Allison was last seen by one of her daughters in her pyjama pants #badenclay

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 1m

She was found in her three-quarter length walking pants #badenclay

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 1m

How did this happen? #badenclay

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 1m

How did Gerard violently kill Allison without leaving an obvious cause of death? #badenclay

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 47s

Her jumper was found up her body, coming off up over her arms, but that might have been caused by moving water #badenclay

Byrne says Dr Milne went over Allison's clothing. Singlet, bra, pants, all properly in place. Jumper over head. #badenclay

Byrne says sneakers tied up, over the socks. Everything in place. #badenclay

There's nothing to prove that though. It's a guess unless there is evidence to support it.

The pathologist found Allison's jumper around the upper body, couldn't exclude that being moved by the water - defence #badenclay


Francene Norton ‏@francenenorton 50s

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 1m

That is a weird question.....do people who are murdered always have broken bones?

Her skeleton - her bone structure - was intact #badenclay

 

[samanthaj]

10:27am: Mr Byrne has turned his attention to the most crucial question of the trial.

"How did Gerard Baden-Clay kill his wife?," Mr Byrne said.

"How did he kill her? How did she die? What caused her death?

"Does the evidence even reveal how she did in fact die?"

The court has previously heard that no cause of death could be determined by forensic pathologists.


10:30am: "There's no cause of death and there's no injuries to be found," Mr Byrne said of the post-mortem examination conducted on Mrs Baden-Clay's body.
