Beau Lamarre-Condon's five days under cross-examination have been riddled with fiery clashes, confessions of gaslighting, and repeated denials that his "obsession" with Jesse Baird drove him to carry out the alleged murders of the TV presenter and his partner, Luke Davies.
The former police officer has been fighting two counts of murder in the NSW Supreme Court after being accused of shooting Mr Baird and Mr Davies inside a Sydney share home on February 19, 2024.
Mr Lamarre-Condon is accused of breaking into the Paddington terrace disguised as an Uber Eats delivery rider before shooting Mr Baird twice, and Mr Davies once through a door, with his police service pistol.
The 31-year-old maintains both men died during separate struggles.
After choosing to enter the witness box, Mr Lamarre-Condon spent an entire week being questioned about his ploys to ward off romantic rivals, accusations of stalking, and what the prosecution alleged was planned "murder, plain and simple".
On Friday, Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC challenged Mr Lamarre-Condon's story that he acted in self-defence during two separate scuffles, which resulted in the men's deaths.
The accused told the jury that he attended the Paddington address to retrieve some of his belongings and that Mr Baird lunged at him with a knife when he did not recognise Mr Lamarre-Condon under the motorcycle helmet.
