A former New South Wales police officer testified that he was invited to the home of Jesse Baird in the months preceding Baird's death. He told the court that his presence was at the invitation of the homeowner. Prosecutors contend that the visit was actually a break‑in. The officer's statement has become a key point in the case. The legal proceedings focus on whether the entry was lawful. The court will consider both the testimony and the prosecution's allegations.
