Beau Lamarre-Condon denies creating fake Grindr account for Jesse Baird

Court adjourns after legal argument

Justice Natalie Adams told the jury that earlier issues will take longer than anticipated to address. She sent them home for the day with a court resumption scheduled at 10am AEDT tomorrow on Thursday November 12. The accused is giving evidence for a fifth day in his trial where he faces two murder charges and one aggravated break and enter charge.

Accused claims no access to messages

Prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC asked if the accused had access to iMessages with Jesse Baird since his arrest. Lamarre-Condon stated he does not currently have access but instructed friends and family to screenshot messages after his arrest. He admitted getting family members to access his iCloud at one point to send screenshots to his legal team.

Details on breakup and trip

Lamarre-Condon told the court he attempted to create a fake account with an email he believed was from Baird to check relationship status. He claimed he did not operate the account as Baird but only saw if that address was available on the app. A text from September 4 noted Baird rejected a kiss before they had sexual intercourse on that night.
