  "summary": "Former NSW police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon has returned to the witness box for further cross-examination in the NSW Supreme Court. He is facing trial for the alleged February 2024 murders of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies and has pleaded not guilty.\n\nDuring the proceedings, the Crown prosecutor questioned Lamarre-Condon regarding text messages sent in December 2022 that expressed affection for Baird. Lamarre-Condon stated he had a lot of love for Baird and that he frequently says \"I love you\" to friends. He argued that his messages, such as \"It sounds crazy, I love him,\" were different from stating he was in love with him.\n\nThe cross-examination included discussion of texts where Lamarre-Condon referred to Baird as \"the Channel 10 reporter guy.\" According to ABC News AU, the prosecution questioned whether Lamarre-Condon was \"giddy\" to stay the night at Baird's residence as their relationship became more romantic.",
