The Verdict Waiting Room

[Fluffykins]

damn , but if we are sweating it wont be anything like big g and the bcs , I can sweat it out while bib g shivers in his boots for the weekend justice

The weekend will go too fast for us like they always do, but for GBC it's going to be the longest weekend of his life.

 

[BrissyLass]

I am sure it is , otherwise todd baby will get u off:laughing:

:blushing::giggle:

 

[squizzey1]

Well the subject IS court related, I could say reading about Todd is research

I suppose as long as u are study law and not the reproduction system of the triantiwantigong

 

[UnfoldingTruth]

well at least its not a bun in the oven

:floorlaugh:..trust you. Definitely no bun cooking here at the moment.

from memory Todd baby said it was 25th February 2012 not positive but that is my recalling of it

 

[Venus13]

Safe journey everyone tonight on way home from court! Thank you again for the tweets & humour everyone! Catch up with all your jobs, baking most of all rest those eyes & fingers ready for Monday & the positive result!

 

[UnfoldingTruth]

:waiting: well, I guess we wait some more. Hoping Monday will be the day. I believe they WILL convict him. But whether its Murder or Manslaughter, I'm not sure, I have a feeling with their question to the Judge today that they are trying to decide between the two (rather than an aquittal)

Well as there is no more chance of verdict today, I really need to go look after my pies:laughing:... take care people, deep breaths for Monday. Big Weekend here, Will check in for Monday- if not before

Thoughts again to Allison's family. What a LONG weekend they are going to have. I find it emotionally draining and exhausting myself, sitting watching from the outside. What a toll this must be for them and those close to them.

It was very nice to meet Alioop, Liadan and the nameless man(sorry can't give anymore info than that he is to remain nameless).

So annoyed I couldn't be there. Did you solve the problems of the world?

• Murder And Manslaughter
• Chapter 28 Of The Criminal Code (Qld) Sets Out The Offences Relating To Homicide.
• Unlawful Homicide is set out under section 300, which makes any person who unlawfully kills another guilty of a crime, which is either murder or manslaughter, according to the circumstances of the case. Section 291 and 293 set out what constitutes an unlawful killing. Once it is established that the killing is unlawful it can then either be classified as murder (defined in s302 and punished in s305) or manslaughter (defined in s303 and punished in s310).

• Unlawful Killing
• Section 291 makes it unlawful to kill any person, unless the killing is authorised or justified by law. Section 293 defines killing as ‘causing the death of another, directly or indirectly, by any means whatever’.

• There must be a causal connection between the act by the accused and the death. In R v Pagett (1983) 76 Cr App R 279 it was held that the accused person’s act need not be the sole cause of the victim’s death, so long as it contributed significantly. An example of this is in Royall v R (1991) 172 CLR 378. Here the crown argued that the deceased died in one of three ways; the third was by jumping from the window to escape a well founded apprehension that she would be subjected to further violence from the accused. The High Court held that an act of self preservation, which caused the death, does not break this causal connection.
• In R v Blaue 60 Cr App R 271 it was held that the death of the victim was caused by loss of blood as a result of the stab wounds inflicted by the defendant. The victim, due to her religion had refused a blood transfusion. The defendant was found to have killed the victim.

• Murder
• Section 302 sets out the circumstances which a person who unlawfully kills will be guilty of murder.
• If the offender intends to kill or cause grievous bodily harm to the person killed or some other person;
• If the death is caused by means of an act done in the prosecution of an unlawful purpose and the act is of a nature likely to endanger human life;
• If the offender intends to do grievous bodily harm to some person for the purpose of facilitating the commission of a crime or for the purpose of facilitating the flight of an offender who has committed or attempted to commit such a crime. The crime must be such that the offender may be arrested without warrant;
• If death is caused by administering any stupefying or overpowering thing for either of the purposes mentioned in paragraph (3);
• If death is caused by wilfully stopping the breath of any person for either of the listed purposes.
• In R v Moloney (1985) 81 Cr App R 93 it was held that the mental element in murder consists of an intention to kill or cause serious injury and not merely of foresight that death or serious injury will be a probable consequence of their act.
• A person who is found guilty of murder, under section 305, is liable to life imprisonment or an indefinite sentence (Part 10 Penalties and Sentences Act 1992). Further, if the defendant is being sentenced on more than one conviction of murder, or another offence of murder is being taken into account the person may not be released from imprisonment until a minimum of 20 years has been served.
• Manslaughter
• Section 303 provides that a person who unlawfully kills another under such circumstances as not to constitute murder is guilty of manslaughter. A person who is guilty of Manslaughter under section 310 is liable to a maximum sentence of imprisonment for life.

• IT is day 19 of the trial of former Brookfield real estate agent Gerard Baden-Clay, 43, who stands accused of murdering his wife Allison Baden-Clay, 43, on April 19, 2012.
• Baden-Clay has pleaded not guilty in the Supreme Court in Brisbane.

• Justice John Byrne asked the jury to re-enter the court room at 10.10am.
• In response to a note from the jury, Justice Byrne took them through sections of his summing up.
• The jury speaker said he was not able to identify the passage the jury wanted more information on, instead referring a question from Justice Byrne to another panel member.
• The juror identified the section as being to do with the evidence of Baden-Clay and whether he told lies.
• Justice Byrne reread the passage to the jury.
• “If you conclude that the accused lied because he realised that the truth would implicate him in killing his wife, you would need carefully also to consider whether the lie reveals a consciousness of guilt merely with respect to manslaughter as distinct from also revealing an intention to kill or to cause grievous bodily harm,” he said.
• “You may only use the lie about cutting himself shaving – if it is a lie – as tending to prove the element of murder of an intention to kill or to cause grievous bodily harm if, on the whole of the evidence, the accused lied because he realised that the truth of the matter in that respect would show that, in killing his wife, he had intended to kill her or to cause her grievous bodily harm.
• “It may be that, even if you were to find that the accused lied about his facial injuries because he realised that the truth would show him to be the killer, still you would not conclude that the lie shows that he realised that her death after scratching him with her fingernails would show that he had killed her intentionally.”
• The jury retired again to consider its verdict.
