Gable Tostee

We will see about that.

Even if, hypothetically, he was not required to put her out the front door, why didn't he? This is the question the Tostee apologists (groupies?) are not prepared to answer.

There is actually a semi-reasonable explanation for it in his post on that body building forum. It's possibly all ghost written, but his story doesn't jump out at me as being outrageously unbelievable.

The struggle took place about 2-3 metres away from the rear glass doors that lead to my balcony. My front door was about 10m away, and has an automatic closer and lock which I would have had to flick then hold open while trying to force her out. This would have been much more difficult and wasn't really an option. Putting her outdoors would have meant I could separate her from me and keep an eye on her through the glass doors until she either calmed down or I called someone like security or police to take her away.

Hilarious self-serving crap

Some *********** bodybuilder. This is self-serving crap, and no doubt written by another groupie.

Are they debating murder or aquittal? I say acquittal with 2-3 stubbornly calling it manslaughter

You are not allowed to discriminate LionKing you dont seem to get it. If a woman assaults you you may smack her in the chops & it is self defense.

Also amusing - the the only other two forums I could find one is largely in favour of acquittal, a recent thread probably 80% but a fair number of replies

The other old fitness forum thread is about 60-70% in favour of not guilty

So you guys here I think are 80-90% in favour of a guilty verdict

Which I think is quite unusual.

[edit]

Just found the one on bodybuilding.com thats 3 forums all largely supportive of the accused and this one against the accused. There was also some mention of drugs in her system being suppressed by the prosecution.

I think its a frame up - apalling

Oh I get it alright. I get the groupies who have (magically) appeared here can't conceive that their hero is guilty. I get the stupid, ridiculous idea that a large, buffed bodybuilder can be threatened and intimidated by a small, drunk woman. I get the pathetic idea that it was proper behaviour to put her on a high balcony while threatening her than putting her out the front door and ringing the cops. I get it that his behaviour of not calling cops but going outside furtively to get a pizza is the behaviour of a guilty jerk.

What am I missing?

Looking at that pic she probably could have made it to the next balcony had she swung it right

Something she wouldn't have had to do had she not been illegally imprisoned.

Most of the anti Tostee rantings on this forum are assuming guilt on Tostee's behalf, also I dont think any of you have listened to more than the final 5 - 10 minutes recorded if any at all.

The whole truth in this case means the whole recording & all evidence presented to the jurors, not the transcripts which portray 20% of the information the actual recording does. Not just the nasty bit of the recording but all of it in full context.

Those would be the same partial transcripts on which you were basing you claims of Tostee's obvious innocence previously?
:rolleyes:

I dont think they can as he was the victim of a prolonged hour long assault

Rubbish.

gareththomasnz said:
He also did not assault the woman.

Untrue.

Her response was disproportionate and irrational because she was blind drunk. As was her violence through out the evening.

Unsupported assertions that, even if true, do not justify his actions.

His sex, size, skin colour, body odour etc have no legal bearing

I think he has been framed by the cops and the media

Yup, a conspiracy theorist, just as I thought. There is a section of the forum you would be quite comfortable with ----------->

Indeed. There's a lot of it around atm from the alt-right and misogynists in general.

There you go, I've fixed that for you. No charge.

Ah yes good point, re-trial is another real possibility.

And fair enough. Hopefully we find out very soon.

I think this is a case where a retrial is totally unjustified.
With the recording nothing new will emerge, a complete waste of resources. A hung jury means reasonable doubt end of story.
I presume the solicitor general makes the decision like here.
