Overview
- The accused, Beau Lamarre-Condon, has been giving extended testimony in the NSW Supreme Court and admitted firing the first shot to Jesse Baird’s shoulder while saying the second, fatal shot was accidental and that he “didn't know” Baird was dead.
- Prosecutors allege Lamarre-Condon staked out Mr Baird’s home and acted from jealous obsession, claiming the second shot was an execution and that Luke Davies was then shot to remove a witness.
- Courtroom evidence has focused on the accused's Uber Eats–style disguise, with Mr Lamarre-Condon saying he kept the helmet visor down and only partly removed other items while prosecutors argue the clothes were chosen to avoid CCTV identification.
- The trial has included practical detail from the accused such as an annotated floorplan, a recorded triple-0 call he says he made for help, and CCTV clips and re-enactments that prosecutors used to test his account.
- Cross-examination by Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield is ongoing and will centre on intent and credibility, with no verdict yet and a jury now weighing whether the killings were planned or a defensive mistake.
