Gerard Baden-Clay is still wearing his wedding ring.
Baden-Clay’s murder conviction was downgraded to manslaughter last week. Now #doingit4Allison is calling for a new appeal to the High Court, and changes to the law to prevent similar outcomes in the future.
According to reports in the Courier Mail today, the convicted killer continues to wear the ring in jail.
The paper reports he was wearing the ring in the lead up to his appeal, which resulted in the downgrading of his conviction over the death of his wife Allison from murder to manslaughter.
“The former real estate agent has moved to a quieter prison unit and has also taken up the paid role of ‘trolley pusher’ in jail, where he delivers three daily meals to prison units from the kitchen,” the paper reports.
Allison’s friend Nicole Morrison told the Today show that “it doesn’t surprise” her that Baden-Clay still wears the ring.
Morrison said the Queensland government should appeal against the decision to the High Court.
She is part of the new campaign calling for the changes to the law prompted by the Court of Appeal’s decision.
