Gable Tostee

No it isn't

Maybe manslaughter, but even that was thrown out

...it looks like "just remembering" isn't going to work for you.

So go back and read earlier in this thread, where people patiently explained several times to you what the laws are in the locality under discussion.

But that really is irrelevant to the post you quoted. From what I could hear Tostee physically stopped her from making noises in some way for five minutes. When she finally could start making noises again, she was obviously in fear for her life. If he had put her out the door I have no doubt she would have run away from his apartment as fast as she could because she was in fear for her life. But when he instead chose to put her on the balcony: that level of fear didn't change, and she attempted to get away from Tostee the only way she could: which was to try to climb down to the next balcony.

The fear was generated by Tostee: and if you want to hear how fearful she was then listen to the tape.

She was away.

The choice to try to climb down smashed off her face and not yell for help was hers.

Did you miss the bit where she was abusing him?

Or just conveniently forget it

Only one sides actions are relevant?

Excellent

I'll leave you to it.

The dude was found not guilty by a jury who had access to a lot more info than you ever will.

He is living here if you want me to point at him and yell murderer on your behalf

Remind me, aren't you vocal on other "injustice" threads? Yet this Queensland jury is now endowed with irrefutable wisdom?

Not particularly.

Depends on the case.

The jury had more than you, me and every other poster
 
She was away.

...no: being locked on a balcony is not "away." She wasn't "away" at all.

The choice to try to climb down smashed off her face and not yell for help was hers.

I'm glad that you accept that Wright was not "away" and had no other option but to yell for help or to climb down to the next balcony. She was being detained against her will. Which is what opened the door for the prosecution for the murder charge.

I didn't forget jack-****. I listened to the whole thing and I hate myself just a little bit for doing that.

The "alleged abuse" paled in comparison to what Tostee did in the final minutes of Wrights life. You can't compare the two. Tostee brushed off the "abuse" as an annoyance. And he had plenty of opportunity to either call the police or put her out of the apartment. I don't condone violence. Wright should not have gotten violent. But from the audio Tostee's behaviour was wildly disproportionate.
 
Its a shame the prosecution didn't get a guilty verdict. But now I've listened to the tape in its entirety, and taken in the full context of the tape and all the nuance, I no longer believe the prosecution were wrong to go after murder. They just needed to present a better case than they did. The tape is a heck of a lot worse than the transcript. And that five minutes of silence from Wright says it all.

Mate, there's taking one for the team, then there's taking one for the team.

Bravo!

I often remind people that context is everything, and you've put this nicely in context. Certainly confirms my opinion that he would have been found guilty of manslaughter over here.
 
...how do you measure argumentative quality exactly? What is the standard of measure, and where do I rank, and how do I compare to you?
Lol, given your obvious gender, I doubt there is any point in engaging you. You take a purely emotional irrrational position. I can see you are just here to rant, and ignore certain facts and take the feminist side that a female did no wrong, and that a nearby male in her company is somehow responsible for all aspects of her welfare. Wake up to 2016, it is not 1850.

This isn't "garbage tip psychology." You pick and choose who you follow and who your friends are on facebook and twitter. If the people you follow and are friends with are "less intelligent" and "less objective" then that is your fault and your problem.
Lol sure. everyone adds as many people to look as popular as possible. They have 400 "friends" and never talk to 395 of them. None of these peoples IQ or moral compass are known. So spare me the BS please.

Your post was a list of cherry picked talking points that painted Tostee in a favourable light. Those talking points were irrelevant to what I said.
Wrong. They were inferences drawn fro the recording, the same way the jury would have done. the relevant facts were included. I did not inject irrelevancies and personal opinions such as "evil muthfooker" as you have done, which show a devout feminist outrage. Your posts themselves are exactly what you claim here - cherry picked in absence of full context.

Oh stop telling me what I do and I don't know. ... and I don't need to listen to three hours of a couple having a fight and then one of them falling to her horrific death to draw inferences about Tostee.
Actually you do. That is how you get full context. That is what the jury did. That is what you refuse to do by the look of it.

  • I'm going to listen to the audio so that no-one else has too.
  • you don't need to listen to the entire audio to have an opinion on this case.
  • I'm fifteen minutes in. I'm bored already.
  • And so far the audio hasn't added any nuance or context at all. Where is this nuance and context you promised?
Lol hilarious. What a detective.

Lets not pretend your opinions of "this female" have not clouded your view of this case.
Ive not pretended anything. Little Missy from Lower Hutt's actions have influenced my view, not clouded them. Same as tostees actions have. that is logical

If Tostee had called the police instead of putting on the balcony, do you think she would be alive? If Tostee had put her out the front door, do you think Wright would still be alive? Was dying the only possible outcome of the night? Was there nothing that Tostee could have done that night to ensure a different outcome?

If...if...if...shoulda...coulda... Well.

Someone should have adopted a more respectful attitude toward her date
Someone should have learned to moderate her intake of alcohol/drugs
Someone should have sought treatment for her mental issues (the self harming, low self esteem, the wild erratic behaviour, etc)
Someone should have not lowered herself to hawking it around on Tinder
Someone should have not gone to strange men's apartments within 8 mins of meeting.
Someone should have just exercised a little more wisdom and restraint commensurate with what a 26 yo should have
She was a timebomb that would have gone off somewhere else. We dont know anything about her history but it is unlikely to be "calm".
And thanks for the audio link. Just the absolute best way to spend a Tuesday afternoon: listening to Wright's last three hours of life. How absolutely *********** pleasant.
??? It was asked for. Q. How does your emotional comment provide relevance? A: It doesnt.

No additional context added that you couldn't grasp from a transcript. No additional nuance. You can hardly hear what they are saying. I'll update again after an hour.
Its called a volume control... lol

...don't anyone else listen to that tape.
Tostee is *********** evil.
Hilarious! It is though you are our nanny!

Listening to the tape hasn't softened my opinion. Its made it much much worse. I'm not going to listen to anymore. And I'm going to go rinse my brain with bleach. RIP Warriena Wright.
Ahh that ol' gender specific perspective is so enrichening.

...so you were wrong. I did listen to the recording.
Lol you hadnt, I told you you hadn't, so you then listen to it, and tell me I was wrong? Garbage tip psychology again. Hilarious. And you ask me about quality of argument. SMH!!!

I employed logic and objectivity. .....
Lol. Nope.

But from the audio Tostee's behaviour was wildly disproportionate.
And yet the exact opposite was deduced by the court. I agree with the court 100%.

Its a shame the prosecution didn't get a guilty verdict. But now I've listened to the tape in its entirety, and taken in the full context of the tape and all the nuance, I no longer believe the prosecution were wrong to go after murder.

Lol, it wasnt even 5 mins, it was less than 2 mins, which just shows how with even small details you cannot get it right. You effectively lopped any credibility you had with your emotional comments and unfactual observations.

Did he physically have anything to do with her falling off the balconyYes or no
Hey dont bother asking, some people will NEVER get it, as we see.

Christ, this was covered on the first page of this thread. He did not have to throw her off the balcony. Stop these ridiculous posts.
Lol he didnt throw her off the balcony!! It really shows how little attention is still being paid after 25 pages of discussion.

Exactly . Thank you for bringing clarity, sense, and objectivity to the discussion.

...I'm not going to bother replying to the rest.

Because this paragraph reveals all.

You weren't going to engage me because of your perceptions of my gender. Not because of my arguments, and not because of my position on Tostee. But because you think I am a gender that takes an emotionally irrational position. Choosing not to engage me because you think I'm of a gender that tends to take " emotionally irrational positions" is, to be quite frank, an emotionally irrational position.

If you want to know my gender take a look at my profile picture. Thats me. I'm a guy. And if you don't want to engage me because I'm a guy then you may as well stop engaging everyone else in this thread.

Lol, it wasnt even 5 mins, it was less than 2 mins

Okay, I told a fib here. I am going to respond to this as well.

For the purposes of debate, lets accept that it was 2 minutes and not 5 minutes.

Why do you think Wrights voice was muffled during this time? Why was it so hard to hear what she was saying? What is it you think Tostee was doing to stop Wright from making any noise for 2 minutes? In post 752 you describe "gargling" but you dismiss the idea that he choked her. (You described it as "she makes gargling sounds" as if she was brushing her teeth. I listened to the tape: it did not sound like that at all.) If he didn't choke her, what did happen? Was she just spontaneously gargling?

There was no evidence of strangulation on the body, so that inference from the audio doesn't hold much water. I'm surprised the prosecution even suggested it, without supporting evidence it's little more than speculation in a desperate effort to spin the narrative.

A pathologist has told the jury in the murder trial of Gable Tostee she didn't find injuries on Warriena Wright's body that were consistent with strangulation.
...
The pathologist told the jury Ms Wright suffered severe head injuries, and said poorly defined red marks were found on her neck but that was due to the way her body was positioned, not due to an injury.

"When I examined the neck internally, I couldn't find any injury to the muscles or structure beneath the skin on the neck," Dianne Little told the court.

...the question was addressed to GlennCashQC. He has heard the tape, as have I.

We've both heard the "two minutes" of near silence from Wright, where occasionally we could hear Wright gurgle, we could hear the odd muffled sound, but she was obviously being kept silent by Tostee. I'm asking GlennCashQC that if he wasn't strangling her for two minutes, what was he doing to keep her quiet?

I'll accept for the purposes of debate that she wasn't strangled. But I want to hear from GlennCashQC what he thinks Tostee actually did during that two minutes.

You seem to be under the impression no one else has listened to it.

Slightly weird

Gotta luv Facebook logic " I seen it in da interwebs, so it must be true!". I don't care what photos you have or what your claims are, you don't strike me as your claimed gender. Its that very same objectivity and analytic perception that sees me not fitting in with the Tostee haters and witch burners.

Bwaaa ha ha ha ha , what a backtracker. And according to my notes it was 1m45s.

My personal opinion is it sounds like he is pushing her head down on the carpet and her mouth is partially contacting it. Being drunk she's have slight loss of speech control anyway, and the sounds she makes match it exactly for me. I think he is pressing her hand (in which she is holding the metal clamp) to the floor, and with the other hand pressing her head to the floor.

He asks her numerous times to drop it. She doesnt. She is a fighter for sure.

Not even half as weird as your posts in this thread.
ha ha more quality comments.

...we aren't on facebook.

I've been a member of these boards since 2003. In the 13 years here you are the first to accuse me of being a gender I wasn't: and the first to think I'm lying when I told you the truth.

But hey, what do you expect from a single-issue poster?

I think he is pressing her hand (in which she is holding the metal clamp) to the floor, and with the other hand pressing her head to the floor.

So just to be clear here: he was pushing her head down into the carpet to stop her from talking or making any noises, correct? And he did that for (in your opinion) a minute 45 seconds?

That's a pretty big detail to have forgotten to put in your summary in post 872. Are you going to update it?

And according to my notes it was 1m45s.

I think your notes are wrong.

I've listened again. At 1 hour 17 minutes Wright's mood audibly changes and sounds very scared from that point on. From 1 hour 18 minutes her voice gets muffled and Tostee says " I do need a sample of DNA." Then she is prevented from talking somehow by Tostee: at 1 21 he tells her to get up. At 1 21 33 we hear the gurgling. At 1 23 08 we finally hear Wright again. This is where she yells no about 38 time: Tostee puts her on the balcony, and she falls to her death.

So he either stopped her or attempted to stop her from talking for about five minutes: not two minutes, and not a minute 45 seconds.
