An Intriguing Murder/Manslaughter Case - Gable Tostee
from High Horse Radio
Warning: Insensitive! Warning: Insensitive! Warning: Insensitive! WELCOME TO THE SHOW THAT MOVES AND GOES WHERE IT GROOVES AND FLOWS! This is a High Horse Radio special presentation ladies and gents!. Fred Nations is our host for this honest hard hitting show, accompanied by the panel combination of Andy Establishment, alongside J Dot and the eventual arrival of our construction tycoon LinQ. They then discuss this undeniable tragedy from a completely unbiased perspective, unbiased in the form of having no vested interest, however it ends up being Andy vs J Dot, as Andy gets behind the defence team and says he's innocent, whilst the Dot takes the side of the prosecution and says (hopes) guilty. This story has all the makings of a cinematic hollywood thriller that could quite possibly end up as just that. A young women travels overseas for a friends wedding and the holiday of a lifetime, only to end up falling to her death from the 14th story high-rise apartment building that was owned by the accused. They met on the social media dating site Tinder a week prior to her death, but not in person until the ill fated evening in question. Towards the end of their night of drunken sex and debauchery an argument ensued, which involved decretive rocks and a metal object from a telescope being used against the man in question, in what was really, a form of assault. This young man has clear social and behavioural issues being diagnosed as having asperges, a self confessed "shy introvert" and "hermit", with a prior conviction of ID fraud, to a self styled "playboy" that bragged about having sex with over 200 women on online forums. He recorded three plus hours of audio which ultimately lead to him being found NOT guilty of murder and the lesser charge of manslaughter, it shows that the accused can first be heard deescalating the situation through the use of verbal tactics which did not work, followed by verbal threats and physical restraints, and the ultimately ill fated decision to put her out on the balcony, and lock her out there to try to separate himself and calm the situation down, that can all be heard on this audio along with her clear screams of "No" followed by her saying that she "just wants to go home". So what it comes down to is, did the young lady who was at a blood alcohol level of over three times the legal limit provoke the events and essentially cause her own death by taking the unfortunate and terrible chance of trying to climb down over the balcony due to being extremely intoxicated and scared for her life?. Or did the audio not tell the true story of the events that transpired? did he restrain her with such force and intimidate her in a way in which she felt like there was no other choice?. It took a jury in Australia four days of deliberations to determine their verdict in this case. The only guaranteed thing that can be said on this tragic turn of events is exactly just that, how unbelievably tragic it really is. We here at High Horse Radio send out our condolences to the family and friends of the young lady who died, and recommend that they do not partake in the listening of this podcast. However for the rest of you cutie pies we hope you enjoy this raw and completely honest conversation. @highhorseradio on Twitter for any feedback and topics that you'd perhaps like discussed, and download and subscribe to the show @ libsyn.com + iTunes for FREE!!!
