Monday 19 February: Police have alleged gunshots were heard from a house in Paddington, Sydney in the morning. Four minutes after the first shots were fired there was a 000 call made from Jessie's phone around 9.45am, but it disconnected. Police said there was "no communication" during that call.

Does anyone know what colour the tarps were? Saw a tarp and a dark red stained doona infill just before the turn off on my way to Canberra earlier in the week. Odd sighting.

Were you walking down the Hume? How could you make that out if you’re going 110km/h?
 
Family members of slain Network 10 reporter Jesse Baird fought back tears as they said goodbye to their much-loved brother and son in front of hundreds of mourners at a colourful memorial in Melbourne.

The popular and charismatic Studio 10 presenter, 26, and his new partner, Qantas flight attendant Luke Davies, were allegedly shot dead by NSW Police senior constable Beau Lamarre-Condon at Baird's inner-city Paddington terrace in Sydney on February 19.

Mr Baird's sister, Kourtnee, battled through floods of tears to farewell her brother.

‘You are the absolute light of my life. My biggest inspiration and my biggest cheerleader,' she said.

His mother Helen paid tribute to her 'beautiful, precious, loving, caring, generous, caring and talented boy'.

'Our hearts and lives are changed forever and there is less sparkle in the world,' Ms Baird said.

Attendees invited to attend were asked to wear bright colours while Melbourne-born Mr Baird's AFL umpire colleagues were dressed in uniform in his honour.

Network presenter Daniel Doody was among those who gave a eulogy for his former colleague.

'Jesse was cheeky, funny, caring, hard-working, a heart-throb,' Mr Doody said to laughs from the audience.

Brendan Baird, Jesse's brother, spoke of the heartbreaking family events he will never be a part of.

‘One day my kids will know all about their uncle Jesse and it hurts me that you will not be standing there as my best man as you had already agreed to be when I married Nikki,' he said.

Lamarre-Condon has more charges.

He is facing three new charges including domestic violence-related murder and aggravated break and enter with intent.

A former police officer accused of killing Channel 10 presenter Jesse Baird and boyfriend Luke Davies with his service firearm inside an inner-city Sydney home has had multiple charges withdrawn.
Beau Lamarre-Condon, 29, appeared before Downing Centre Local Court on Tuesday via AVL from custody as he faced two charges of murder and DV-related murder and one charge of break and enter.

Police allege the former NSW Police constable killed the couple inside their home in Paddington in February before their bodies were later found in surfboard bags in the Southern Tablelands.

Returning before the court, Mr Lamarre-Condon’s lawyer, John Walford, said police had certified the former officer’s charges and would be withdrawing the murder charges and proceeding with two charges of DV-related murder and the break and enter charge.

Police routinely lay multiple charges against an alleged person but upon certification of the charges – as in the case of Mr Lamarre-Condon – or during the court process will ultimately with proceed with only some.
 
Same sentencing range but I understand that they removed the defence of provocation from DV cases.

In NSW, it can still be used in some cases of DV.
But not for DV cases involving infidelity, ending a relationship or non-violent sexual advances.

...

The Defence of Provocation (NSW)

....
In 2014, the defence of provocation was significantly restricted to ensure that it could not be used in situations where the provocation claimed was infidelity, ending a relationship or a non-violent sexual advance. The partial defence was retained, partially in response to concerns that was necessary to protect female victims of long-term domestic violence where it may be impossible to establish the act causing death was done in self-defence.
 
The accused's case was in Court today.

Mr Lamarre-Condon was not required in court on Tuesday as his solicitor John Walford told the court that Mr Lamarre-Condon’s legal team had held a case conference with prosecutors.

Mr Walford said he was in the “last throes” of finalising instructions for a plea.

The court was told the matter would be committed when Mr Lamarre-Condon next appeared in court in November.

Regardless of the pleas, whatever they might be, the case is going to committal?

Is the idiot accused going to plead diminished responsibility? Maybe that’s why he’s taking a while to “finalise” his plea and the magistrate has got wind of it.
 
I hear that there is a shortage of all sorts of psychiatrists available for just about everything they are required for in NSW and probably the rest of Australia.

'further delays may be likely given a shortage of forensic psychiatrists available.'

further delayed for nearly three months to give his new taxpayer-funded legal team enough time to get across the evidence.

...
On Tuesday, the ex-officer's lawyer submitted a 50-page-long affidavit in Sydney's Downing Centre's Local Court, asking for a 12-week extension of time.

'There's a very lengthy affidavit with annexures that have been tendered,' Magistrate David Covington said.

'It explains the reasons as to why such an adjournment is required but in essence, the matter has only quite recently been to Legal Aid after a senior public defender was allocated.'

Mr Covington said expert reports were required and were not available.

...
prosecutors did not oppose Tuesday's application and the magistrate granted the adjournment until February 4.

It seems there’s a shortage of professionals in all fields, right across the country. But there’s no shortage of people requiring their services 🙁
