Now, you will remember all the identification
that you had, lots of identification, about the blue shirt,
the brown pants and they saw him going up there, all that
is admitted by the accused. He tells you that's my
trousers I had it on and that's my blue shirt, so you
don't have to go through all of that story, if anybody
saw him in the blue shirt and brown pants, because it
was admitted. So that should give you no problem. These
are circumstances from which the Crown is saying that his
act was a deliberate act, that he planned, premeditated
with malice aforethought, and intended to do grievous
bodily harm. The Defence says no,
if I had intended to
do it, I would never had acted like that. That's a
foolish way for a reasonable person to act.
Members of the Jury, you have it that he changed
his clothes and he went off to the airport, he seems to
have had a change of shirt with him, because he was seen
at one time in a white jersey and a black pants and he was
seen another time in a blue jersey and a black pants. He
seems to have had a change. But you have to decide what's
the significance of that change. Does that change indicate
that he had it all planned before or does it indicate that
having realised he is in trouble he has got to find a way
to keep himself from being properly identified while he can
make his escape. You will have to ask yourself that
question. Then we have the story that he goes to the
airport, and having got there, he has to go to the airline
clerk to get a ticket, and we know the long story about
that, we need hardly go through that, there is no dispute
about it. He goes to the airline, there is no room
