Former NSW Police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon has told a Supreme Court Judge that he “will not be silenced” and that “the truth will prevail” as his trial over the alleged murders of Sydney couple Jesse Baird and Luke Davies was scheduled for next September.
The 30-year-old has pleaded not guilty to all charges, but during his arraignment in the Supreme Court on Friday he made an unprompted outburst before Justice Peter Hamill.
Lamarre-Condon is accused of fatally shooting Baird and Davies with his service firearm at Mr Baird’s Paddington home in February last year.
After formally entering not guilty pleas to two counts of murder and one count of aggravated break and enter, he appeared via audio-visual link and requested that several matters be noted on the transcript.
He told the court he had previously offered to plead guilty to manslaughter “relating to Jesse Baird and Jesse Baird only.”
Mr Lamarre-Condon said he was “remorseful” and “entitled to my early plea discount.”
He continued, “I just want it noted that if the NSW Police or DPP request a closed court or suppression orders put in place, I am strongly opposed to this.”
He further alleged “serious misconduct and corruption” by NSW Police investigators, claiming the Director of Public Prosecutions was “partly complicit in.”
“The truth will always prevail and I will not be silenced,” he said.
“Thank you, Your Honour.”
Justice Hamill responded that Mr Lamarre-Condon had a “very capable solicitor in court.”
“I’m sure if there were negotiations in the Local Court they would be recorded,” the judge said.
The Crown told the court the brief of evidence contained more than 200 witnesses, though not all were expected to be required and many would be short.
The trial has been listed to begin on September 21 2026 and is expected to run for two to three months.
Defence counsel John Stratton SC indicated he did not expect to seek a judge-alone trial.
Justice Hamill said the case is likely to be presided over by Justice Natalie Adams.
