40. After his release, David had taken up residence in a pub located in Botany. He was a temporary lodger, paying week by week. You are on record as saying that he behaved like a man who was still in a prison cell. Like 'an animal in captivity that has become conditioned to pace back and forth in a restrictive space even when it is relocated  to a larger enclosure'. What did you mean by that?

41. You also mentioned that prison had aged him. There was no danger that, while he was under surveillance, he would have recognised you?

42. You have had a fair bit of cosmetic surgery done over the years. As a result of this, you were confident that David wouldn't recognise you when you first approached him. Did the amount of alcohol he'd consumed that night factor into this? And how did you administer the sedatives?

49. Were you intimidated, after all, this time, being in his presence?
