Lamarre-Condon denies turning off Triple Zero call

The shirt he was wearing on the day, a blue one with a slash from his interaction with Baird, was thrown out and not found.

Twelve seconds into the Triple Zero call, Hatfield suggests the call was intentionally disconnected.

"The phone was shattered, it was pixelated," Lamarre-Condon replies.

"I did not turn off the phone, no."

Triple Zero call replayed to jury

Hatfield suggests it was Davies saying "get out" and "f**k off", but Lamarre-Condon says it's two voices on the Triple Zero call.

The call is being played again to the jury.

The prosecution alleges the third shot goes off "immediately after" the expletive.

He replies he can't say, and it could be the phone dropping.

"Everything you would have said would be through the helmet," the prosecution says.

Lamarre-Condon agrees, saying there was a mouth piece on it.

He says Baird could hear him but couldn't "register" what was being said.

Bullet hole in door covered with felt sticker

Lamarre-Condon says his ears were "ringing out" even with a helmet on.

He's being asked about why he could hear that, but not a phone call if one was being made.

"It would be impossible to hear someone making a phone call from the bedroom especially with the door shut."

He says he put a felt sticker designed for chairs over the bullet hole on the Tuesday that he found in a kitchen cupboard.

A mounting hook from Kmart was also put over the bullet hole.

Accused looked at bullet in door after third shot

The accused says he looked at the lodged bullet and saw a "puncture through the door and the bullet was lodged into the door".

He says he saw no marks on the door, but he did see blood on the outside of the door, which he had to clean at a "later point".

He says he wiped it down "frantically" until he "couldn't see it [blood] anymore".

Lamarre-Condon says he did not remember seeing bone fragments at the time.

Police training to move a gun

He says Davies and Lamarre-Condon were struggling towards Baird's bedroom door, gun between them.

"He was using his might to push back," Lamarre-Condon said.

"His right hand was holding on ... but during that movement of his left wrist his gun was in his left hand."

He says he was trying to move the gun so it would hit the wall, but the movement led to the gun hitting Davies's face.

Lamarre-Condon is describing his police training to manoeuvre guns from beneath so it hits a roof.

"I was hoping it would not hit anybody at all and hit a wall," he says.

"The trigger was being pulled ... we're having a struggle over this ... and it would hit them there," he says pointing to above his ear.

He says he's sure the bullet went through Davies's head first and then went through the door.

View of gun unimpaired through helmet, accused says

Asked how he can see through the visor, he says he can see "directly in front of me" and didn't need to see his periphery.

"I'm behind so of course I can see that finger facing towards me. I can see it moving," he says.

He disagrees his vision would've been blocked.

"I've said very clearly to you ... I could see that trigger being pulled down," he says to the prosecutor.

Phone calling Triple Zero drops and smashes

"I said, 'Please don't shoot me I'm not here to hurt you I'm not a threat. Get out'," Lamarre-Condon says.

Davies raised the gun from the accused's chest up to his head, he claims.

"That's when immediately I saw his left index finger go on the gun ... trigger. I got up, I grabbed with my left hand his left wrist," he says.

He says his right hand, with a phone, is pressed up to Davies's forearm.

The phone drops and its screen smashes.

Lamarre-Condon says he turns Davies's left wrist, now holding the gun, with his left hand to pivot him away.

"It's then discharged obviously it's hit Luke and exited."

Lamarre-Condon says he waved Davies away

"I see him with the firearm, he's got both hands on the gun," he says.

He claims Davies says: "I'm going to f**king shoot you."

He puts his hands to the surrender position and lowers himself to the floor.

The phone is still in his hand and he tells him to "get out" with a "shoo" motion, waving away from his body, and towards the front door.

"I'm not a threat, you can have the gun ... and get out."

The moment Lamarre-Condon sees Davies

Lamarre-Condon says he was near storage boxes when he first saw Davies.

"Luke was standing in front of Jesse Baird's front door and blocking the front door," he says.

"I was facing towards the front door."

He says Davies was facing towards him and the kitchen, and his back was towards the front door.

Helmet visor still on while calling Triple Zero

He says he picks up the phone from the kitchen and dials Triple Zero (000) heading towards the front door.

He says he wanted to flag an ambulance or paramedics down from the street.

St Vincent's Hospital is nearby.

"I was moving very quick, it was urgent ... I know I was 100 per cent calling Triple Zero while I was moving," he says.

"I never disconnected the Triple Zero call."

He says he said "get out" to Davies and he replies "f**k off" after listening back to the call.

His visor was down while on the call.

"I didn't need to take my helmet off I was not doing CPR or resuscitation," he says about why it was still on while attending to Baird.

Lamarre-Condon left two phones in car

"Was it a deliberate decision to leave both phones in your car?" Hatfield asks.

"It was a deliberate decision," Lamarre-Condon replies.

He says he didn't need his phones to get his possessions back.

Lamarre-Condon says he was looking in the house for a phone, and saw one on the kitchen counter.

"Was it obvious to you he was dead?"

"No. I knew he was unresponsive," Lamarre-Condon says.

'Massive gunshot wound' to Baird's mouth

He's being asked if he could see a "massive gunshot wound" to Baird's mouth.

"Wasn't it obvious he'd been shot through his head? ... Wasn't there a lot of blood?" Hatfield asks.

He says he's being "truthful" when he replies lots of blood could have come from "anywhere".

Lamarre-Condon says he thought he could feel a pulse

Lamarre-Condon is being asked about kneeling near Baird and entering "police mode", trying to see if he was alert and putting him in the recovery position.

"I was kneeling next to his body at this point," the accused says.

He did not have gloves on at this stage, but can't remember if he took them off upstairs or shortly after this point.

Lamarre-Condon says he thought he could feel a pulse on Baird's wrist.

"I was just trying to see if I could get Jesse up, see if I could get a reaction," he says.

Baird was laying on his back at this stage.

Second shot discharged shortly after the first

Lamarre-Condon agrees the second shot happened within a "couple seconds" of the first.

"It was unintentionally discharged towards Jesse," he says.

He says it was not aimed.

"I've never had an intention or thought" to hurt Baird, he says.

He says he did not "intentionally discharge the second shot".

"It's the case you executed him with that second shot," Hatfield says.

"I never executed Jesse Baird."

Baird was 'arms length' away from Lamarre-Condon during struggle

"I also had a hold of Jesse's right arm with my left hand so that is further grip ... and during the fall, after the shot was discharged I was already pulling back," Lamarre-Condon says about how the gun would have flung backwards.

It's a flicking motion in a backwards direction towards his right shoulder.

"You're holding the handle the whole time and the trigger finger must have been loose? Hatfield asks.

"At one point," he says.

"Trigger wouldn't have been loose if I was pulling backwards ... you squeeze tight.

"After it was discharged and there was no more motion of Jesse ... it would have been loose?"

He says the gun would have been "arms length" away from Baird when it discharged.

How the gun flung after Baird shooting

Lamarre-Condon is being asked about his evidence last week, in relation to his struggle with Baird.

The floor plan of the kitchen and lounge room is on the screen.

He says the gun went "backwards" in the "vicinity of the living room".

"Jesse must have gone back over the box, fallen back to his right and you must have gone with him," Hatfield says, saying the door to the living room would be to the left.

"No, it would have been to the right," he replies.

Lamarre-Condon says if the gun was yanked left or right, it would have flung towards the living room.

The prosecutor suggests it would have gone behind him or to the ceiling instead.

Location of items inside house on day of shootings

Hatfield has asked the accused what Baird and Davies were wearing when he came across them in the home.

He says both men were in their underwear and neither were wearing shoes.

Hatfield has given Lamarre-Condon a copy of a computer-assisted floor plan of the Brown Street terrace and asked him to mark various items on the document.

He's marked where he says there were cardboard storage boxes in the hallway and kitchen, where he later saw a mattress in the courtyard, and the location of a mobile phone which he says he picked up after Baird was shot to call emergency services.

Accused shown kitchen floor plan

Lamarre-Condon has been shown a photograph of the kitchen and been asked to point out where he was pinned against a wall.

He describes it as an area in the right corner, where the wall and the kitchen counter meet.

Jesse Baird 'lunged' at Lamarre-Condon

Lamarre-Condon has been asked by Crown Prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC to demonstrate the movements involved in a struggle he says he had with Baird in the kitchen of the Brown Street terrace.

He has previously testified that he was wearing a helmet at this point, and that Baird was holding a knife, "lunged" at him, and then at one point the knife was close to Lamarre-Condon's throat before he pushed Baird back and fired a shot at Baird's shoulder.

"This was really, really quick and we were moving," the accused says of the struggle.

"There was movement, constant movement in this struggle."

Hatfield has asked whether this evidence was different to something he said last week — that he was "pinned" during the struggle.

Lamarre-Condon insists it's not different, and at one point he was pinned near a wall.

Who will we be hearing from today?

This is the third day Lamarre-Condon has been in the witness box.

Last week, he was questioned by his defence barrister John Stratton SC.

Afterwards, the Crown began their cross-examination for a short period before court adjourned on Friday.

Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC is expected to pick up his questioning of the accused in the NSW Supreme Court today.

Court has started

We are back into cross examination, with Beau Lamarre-Condon being asked to revisit the moment he shot Jesse Baird the first time in the Paddington share house.

"This was very, very quick … I was aiming towards his right shoulder," he said.

He gestured pulling his pistol from around his belt area, lifting it up to chest or shoulder height.

There were some technical difficulties after this point.

We're picking things up from here on out, and will loop back with what you missed shortly.
