Can we talk about Laura Gallacher

That’s a really interesting observation OP. He is so manipulative I find him chilling to watch

He is clearly a controlling man imo and no doubt that she is victim of that control. However she did choose as an adult to resume their relationship knowing his history(his lifestyle was all over the press) so presumably she wasn’t that concerned about his sexual history etc.
And now we have these allegations against him and the trial, the allegations are not that much of a shock to most people so they can’t have been that shocking to her either. Maybe she just isn’t that bothered? Or she is so deep into the whole conspiracy theory thing that she can’t see it.

It will be interesting to see what happens to their marriage going forward.

But also the fact that he "corrects" her, but then refers to the "Sunday thing" time and again in the form of 'wit" and "jokes." Nasty man.

"My Lord, Jesus Christ..." really? Are we buying that??

lord knows what Kirsty thinks !

I was thinking about her and this trial yesterday: I can understand that she would want to be in court to hear all the evidence for herself first hand, as painful as it may be. I seriously admire her for that.

I also respect that, publicly, she is seen to be supporting him through the trial. What she does if found guilty will be more interesting, and perhaps concerning.

This is not easy for her at all.

She was like a wife not trying to rile her drunk abusive husband. Walking on eggshells and keeping everything nicey nice.

Even with 6 complainants who don’t know each other or their allegations all saying the same thing?

I feel like I've seen more threads dissecting Laura than about her husband who is actually on trial.

Yeah it’s a good point. I hope that would make a difference. And I’m also aware that this would have never got to trial if there was no chance of a conviction. And I really what him convicted.
I just imagine, on a jury, being told you have to believe this to be true without a shadow of doubt - how can anyone say that? I guess I’m after insight from anyone who knows about this stuff to explain.

Have a glass of water, touch grass, talk to a human. This is bonkers.

I feel like I've seen more threads dissecting Laura than about her husband who is actually on trial.

I’ve also been wondering about her and how she can put up with him. But I also think he’s dominant and she is passive to him, and probably been groomed.

something I can’t understand with the trial. I’ve been listening to a podcast where they report back each day going over the witness statements. Obviously all of this is a case of the girls words against his. There no actual evidence.

So how can be deemed guilty? The jurors have to be sure in order to convict, and I don’t see how anyone could be with no evidence?

to be clear, I absolutely think he is guilty and I believe the women. But I’m confused how he can ever be convicted.

I don’t think it is without a shadow of a doubt is it? It’s beyond a reasonable doubt or “sure” of their guilt.

I have a feeling he’ll get off anyway, 8 men on the jury.

Recorded 4 days ago, a youtube video with the 2 of them sitting in dressing gowns, chatting about their week, complimenting each other on their court appearance outfits and telling each other how good they looked in court, quoting a friend who complimented them on dressing well in court, sharing a laugh together about the week they've had (in court). Laura smiles and laughs.
Something I picked up on, at 3 mins 50 secs, RB says "On Sunday blah blah blah". Laura corrects him and says "Monday". RB says "Did I say Sunday?" Laura says "You did, yeah" RB says "But didn't I say you're watching this on Sunday" Laura says "Oh, maybe you did, sorry" RB says "I'm a pro" Laura laughs and says "ok".
But he DIDN'T say "you're watching this on Sunday". He said "On Sunday" and she was right to correct him.
So here we have a recorded dialogue between the 2 of them where we see RB tell Laura that he just said something completely different to what he actually just said, and she instantly pacifies him by saying "oh maybe you did" (but he didn't) and then she quickly apologises to him and he reminds her that he's the pro. Yet he has just blatantly lied about what he said on film in front of everyone viewing it but cleverly covers his mistake up in a nanosecond and makes her believe that she made a mistake, she is wrong, and she should be reminded that he is the pro (thereby asserting his power over her). This exchange all happened so fast that I had to rewind it and watch again because I thought "Hang on a minute, you did say Sunday, you didn't say what you're telling her you said, you're lying in a split second response, and she's going along with you saying something you didn't say!".
RB covered his mistake up so fast and turned it round on his wife and made her look stupid for getting it wrong and then reminded her he's better than her ("I'm a pro" subtext "You're not"). If he can lie and cover and confuse and coerce this quickly whilst he knows he's being filmed, then no wonder he is easily lying about his crimes.
As females, can we have a discussion about Laura?
Personally, I have been upset and confused to see her walking in to court hand in hand with RB, or with his arm around her shoulders as they walk in. Her display of loyalty is huge. How can she put on such a display of belief in him when he's on trial for rape and sexual assault of 6 women?
Whilst watching this video this morning (filmed on Sunday), I felt a rising anger at her for laughing about the week in court and flattering him with compliments about his court outfits and how good he looked.
But that quickly turned to concern when I saw her accept him telling her she'd mis-quoted him when she hadn't, and then swiftly apologised to him.
So now I don't know what to think about her but I do think there needs to be a discussion on a female forum about this woman supporting her husband on trial for alleged sexual crimes against women.
Even if you can't watch the whole video, please watch the first 4 minutes:
