Baden Clay Trial

[azureline**]

Allison Baden Clay Murder 2 years ago

I was reading up on this today, as the trial started Monday.

The senior Baden Clay was on the stand today and gave evidence about something his wife told him about his daughter in law..................................I thought they usually objected and called that heresay?

Don't they do that in Australia? have I watched too many American crime shows?

He has appealled on the (three) oops, that would be four, grounds mentioned in the stories out today. The date must have been set today.

Yes, seems so.

The Queensland Court of Appeal has confirmed the year's most hotly anticipated hearing will take place on August 7.

I think that is awful.

Also further to what I mentioned above. 

In February, it emerged the three girls remain unable to access their mother's dual life insurance policies, collectively valued at nearly $800,000, until their father exhausts his legal avenues to have his conviction overturned.

So if it is overturned he gets the money? In which case it will all go in legal fees.
If it isn't overturned and the children get it, his legal fees won't be paid?
