About this episode
In the trial’s second week, the prosecution has shifted focus from Jesse’s relationships, hopes and fears, to Beau Lamarre-Condon’s movements, conversations and alleged intentions in the months leading up to Jesse’s and Luke’s deaths. Mr Lamarre-Condon's friend Georgia Cook told the jury the accused asked her about hiding a body, with another friend describing being asked by the accused about getting a gun.
