In court Lamarre-Condon said he had offered to plead guilty to a single charge of manslaughter over the deaths of Sydney TV producer Jesse Baird and his partner Luke Davies, but it has been rejected.

Justice Peter Hamill indicated that if such negotiations had taken place then they would have been recorded in the court file.

The accused man went on to accuse both the New South Wales Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the investigating police of corruption., and said he opposed any orders for the case to be heard in closed court.

“I will not be silenced.” Lamarre-Condon said arguing that people needed to hear his side of the case. Asked hoe he plead to the two counts of domestic violence related homicide, he answered “not guilty”, while also entering the same plea to charges of aggravated break and enter.
