Double murder-accused Beau Lamarre-Condon acted in 'self defence', court told
Former Sydney police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon will argue he acted in self defence on the day he is accused of murdering Sydney couple Jesse Baird and Luke Davies.

Mr Lamarre-Condon, 31, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and one of aggravated break and enter.

His defence counsel urged jurors against rushing to reach any final conclusion until they have heard all of the evidence in the case.


Yessah - I drew my service pistol, went to the ex's place to get some gear, disguised myself, used a key I stole to get in ....... then surprise, surprise.. I encountered my ex (the lights on were no hint) and we struggled and the gun went off twice.... the second time blowing his brains out.... then I was confronted by the other guy and we struggled for the gun again, and it just went off in his hand - he turned it the wrong way, sir... and it just killed him..

Ummmm .... yeeeeeees..... the court will take that on board.......

A very gay argument, to coin a phrase.

Sprinty will come after you for that blatant, woman-oppressing toxic masculinity.


The gun went off, the knife went in...



Not long ago, a murderer entered my consulting room in the prison shortly after his arrest to seek a prescription for the methadone to which he was addicted. I told him that I would prescribe a reducing dose, and that within a relatively short time my prescription would cease. I would not prescribe a maintenance dose for a man with a life sentence.

“Yes,” he said, “it’s just my luck to be here on this charge.”

Luck? He had already served a dozen prison sentences, many of them for violence, and on the night in question had carried a knife with him, which he must have known from experience that he was inclined to use. But it was the victim of the stabbing who was the real author of the killer’s action: if he hadn’t been there, he wouldn’t have been stabbed.

My murderer was by no means alone in explaining his deed as due to circumstances beyond his control. As it happens, there are three stabbers (two of them unto death) at present in the prison who used precisely the same expression when describing to me what happened. “The knife went in,” they said when pressed to recover their allegedly lost memories of the deed.

The knife went in—unguided by human hand, apparently. That the long-hated victims were sought out, and the knives carried to the scene of the crimes, was as nothing compared with the willpower possessed by the inanimate knives themselves, which determined the unfortunate outcome.

Oh??

Snivelling Simpy is a penitent, feeling guilty for his willy and pining for the firm, jewelled hand with the garishly painted talons once again to be over him.

After all this time being told it isn't the gun and now we hear that it is just the gun ? 

Who woulda thunk ? It must be an automatic.

Perhaps the handgun was just homophobic?

Gay marriage, gay marital discontent. Three jokers and a cocker spaniel, as the poet said, don't make a family.

Your parents name you Beau - you ARE fvkced for life.

They fvkc you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fvkced up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.


Called Beau.
