Lamarre-Condon shows jury his shooting claim in court
Beau Lamarre-Condon showed in court how he claims he shot Jesse Baird, saying the struggle happened very quickly.
The former police officer is on trial for fatally shooting Baird and his partner Luke Davies in a Paddington home in February 2024. Lamarre-Condon claims Baird was holding a knife and struggling with him when he fired.
During cross-examination on Monday, he stood up in the witness box and showed his movements to the jury. He showed pushing Baird back with his right arm and firing toward Baird's right shoulder.
He says the shooting happened in seconds and a second shot was fired by accident. The trial continues before Justice Natalie Adams.
