12:07pm Recap: Here is another excerpt from Mr Fuller's closing address ...

"On the surface to so many of these witnesses the Baden-Clays seemed like a perfect couple ... " Mr Fuller said.

"But it was just a facade.

"A facade which had been carried on for a long period of time.

"You might think that inwardly they were very different. Two desperately unhappy people for different reasons. One of them, a woman who had battled for years, for years, to keep her marriage together, despite being told perhaps the cruelest thing that a wife can ever hear from a husband, 'I don't love you'.

"And a man, who you might think, was just looking for a way out, living a double life.

"My friend can quite easily say, 'well the deception was really only the infidelity'. But was it?

"It is not the deception ... every day for the three years that Toni McHugh was with him in the office, when he went home for 'happy hour' to spend some time with his wife and children, to help Allison through that part of the day, to simply then slink back to be with Toni McHugh at night.

"To conduct an affair in an office where his father was working. And not for the first time. Let's go back to Michelle Hammond - the woman who worked at the agency next door. Not only his father worked with him at that time, but his mother. That shows you the level of deception.

"It shows you what this man is capable of doing. His level of bravado and confidence in what he can carry out and carry on. He simply presented a number of faces to a number of different people, right up until this evidence in this trial ...

"He cried when he told you about the first time he realised he was in love with Allison Baden-Clay, but just think about his reaction when I asked, 'when was the first time that you told her that you no longer loved her?'

"The Crown says that those roles contributed to the pressures that were building on him and culminated in his acts on the 19th and the early hours of the 20th of April 2012."

Fuller: Why do you have to distance yourself from the body? That's because you've killed somebody. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard corrected his evidence, saying it was his idea to put the tracking app on their phones. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard claimed it was to give his wife peace of mind. #badenclay

Fuller says it was good peace of mind ... Gerard had kept on with the affair. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard knew how to turn it off. He manipulated his way around it. #badenclay

Fuller says Gerard gave Allison his phone to check but just deleted the calls to his mistress. #badenclay

Fuller is back on Allison's body. Talking about the jumper wound around her head. #badenclay

Fuller on jumper: Which isn't her normal walking attire by the way. #badenclay

Fuller says Allison still has her rings on. Whoever killed her did not remove her wedding rings. #badenclay

Fuller says Allison has no ID, no money, no phone. #badenclay

Are the BC's looking at all worried?

Fuller says #badenclay was skilled at 'deception at its highest' in disguising his affairs with other women.

 

[Trooper]

"To conduct an affair in an office where his father was working. And not for the first time. Let's go back to Michelle Hammond - the woman who worked at the agency next door. Not only his father worked with him at that time, but his mother. That shows you the level of deception.'

ha.. I'm not taking this as Nigelaine being deceived... I'm taking it as Nigelaine co-operating in the deception.. and while I'm at it, and because I never claimed to be Mother Theresa, not being a nice person and being a person soaked in cynicism, it must be excoriating agony for Nige and Elaine and Olivia to sit thru this , also.. bringing Gerard into sharp and ruthless focus and also their production of the Life of Gerard.. .. not a pleasant picture.
