Asked how he can see through the visor, he says he can see "directly in front of me" and didn't need to see his periphery.

"I'm behind so of course I can see that finger facing towards me. I can see it moving," he says.

He disagrees his vision would've been blocked.

"I've said very clearly to you ... I could see that trigger being pulled down," he says to the prosecutor.

"I said, 'Please don't shoot me I'm not here to hurt you I'm not a threat. Get out'," Lamarre-Condon says.

Davies raised the gun from the accused's chest up to his head, he claims.

"That's when immediately I saw his left index finger go on the gun ... trigger. I got up, I grabbed with my left hand his left wrist," he says.

He says his right hand, with a phone, is pressed up to Davies's forearm.

Lamarre-Condon says he turns Davies's left wrist, now holding the gun, with his left hand to pivot him away.

"It's then discharged obviously it's hit Luke and exited."

"I see him with the firearm, he's got both hands on the gun," he says.

He claims Davies says: "I'm going to f**king shoot you."

He puts his hands to the surrender position and lowers himself to the floor.

The phone is still in his hand and he tells him to "get out" with a "shoo" motion, waving away from his body, and towards the front door.

"I'm not a threat, you can have the gun ... and get out."

Lamarre-Condon says he was near storage boxes when he first saw Davies.

"Luke was standing in front of Jesse Baird's front door and blocking the front door," he says.

He says Davies was facing towards him and the kitchen, and his back was towards the front door.

He says he picks up the phone from the kitchen and dials Triple Zero (000) heading towards the front door.

He says he wanted to flag an ambulance or paramedics down from the street.

"I was moving very quick, it was urgent ... I know I was 100 per cent calling Triple Zero while I was moving," he says.

"I never disconnected the Triple Zero call."

He says he said "get out" to Davies and he replies "f**k off" after listening back to the call.

"I didn't need to take my helmet off I was not doing CPR or resuscitation," he says about why it was still on while attending to Baird.

"Was it a deliberate decision to leave both phones in your car?" Hatfield asks.

"It was a deliberate decision," Lamarre-Condon replies.

He says he didn't need his phones to get his possessions back.

Lamarre-Condon says he was looking in the house for a phone, and saw one on the kitchen counter.

"No. I knew he was unresponsive," Lamarre-Condon says.

He's being asked if he could see a "massive gunshot wound" to Baird's mouth.

"Wasn't it obvious he'd been shot through his head? ... Wasn't there a lot of blood?" Hatfield asks.

He says he's being "truthful" when he replies lots of blood could have come from "anywhere".

Lamarre-Condon is being asked about kneeling near Baird and entering "police mode", trying to see if he was alert and putting him in the recovery position.

"I was kneeling next to his body at this point," the accused says.

He did not have gloves on at this stage, but can't remember if he took them off upstairs or shortly after this point.

Lamarre-Condon says he thought he could feel a pulse on Baird's wrist.

"I was just trying to see if I could get Jesse up, see if I could get a reaction," he says.

Baird was laying on his back at this stage.

Lamarre-Condon agrees the second shot happened within a "couple seconds" of the first.

"It was unintentionally discharged towards Jesse," he says.

"I've never had an intention or thought" to hurt Baird, he says.

He says he did not "intentionally discharge the second shot".

"It's the case you executed him with that second shot," Hatfield says.

"I also had a hold of Jesse's right arm with my left hand so that is further grip ... and during the fall, after the shot was discharged I was already pulling back," Lamarre-Condon says about how the gun would have flung backwards.

It's a flicking motion in a backwards direction towards his right shoulder.

"You're holding the handle the whole time and the trigger finger must have been loose? Hatfield asks.

"Trigger wouldn't have been loose if I was pulling backwards ... you squeeze tight.

"After it was discharged and there was no more motion of Jesse ... it would have been loose?"

He says the gun would have been "arms length" away from Baird when it discharged.

Lamarre-Condon is being asked about his evidence last week, in relation to his struggle with Baird.

The floor plan of the kitchen and lounge room is on the screen.

He says the gun went "backwards" in the "vicinity of the living room".

"Jesse must have gone back over the box, fallen back to his right and you must have gone with him," Hatfield says, saying the door to the living room would be to the left.

"No, it would have been to the right," he replies.

Lamarre-Condon says if the gun was yanked left or right, it would have flung towards the living room.

The prosecutor suggests it would have gone behind him or to the ceiling instead.

Hatfield has asked the accused what Baird and Davies were wearing when he came across them in the home.

He says both men were in their underwear and neither were wearing shoes.

Hatfield has given Lamarre-Condon a copy of a computer-assisted floor plan of the Brown Street terrace and asked him to mark various items on the document.

He’s marked where he says there were cardboard storage boxes in the hallway and kitchen, where he later saw a mattress in the courtyard, and the location of a mobile phone which he says he picked up after Baird was shot to call emergency services.

Lamarre-Condon has been shown a photograph of the kitchen and been asked to point out where he was pinned against a wall.

He describes it as an area in the right corner, where the wall and the kitchen counter meet.

Lamarre-Condon has been asked by Crown Prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC to demonstrate the movements involved in a struggle he says he had with Baird in the kitchen of the Brown Street terrace.

He has previously testified that he was wearing a helmet at this point, and that Baird was holding a knife, “lunged” at him, and then at one point the knife was close to Lamarre-Condon’s throat before he pushed Baird back and fired a shot at Baird's shoulder.

“This was really, really quick and we were moving,” the accused says of the struggle.

“There was movement, constant movement in this struggle.”

Hatfield has asked whether this evidence was different to something he said last week — that he was “pinned” during the struggle.

Lamarre-Condon insists it’s not different, and at one point he was pinned near a wall.

This is the third day Lamarre-Condon has been in the witness box.

Last week, he was questioned by his defence barrister John Stratton SC.

Afterwards, the Crown began their cross-examination for a short period before court adjourned on Friday.

Crown prosecutor Brett Hatfield SC is expected to pick up his questioning of the accused in the NSW Supreme Court today.

We are back into cross examination, with Beau Lamarre-Condon being asked to revisit the moment he shot Jesse Baird the first time in the Paddington share house.

“This was very, very quick … I was aiming towards his right shoulder,” he said.

He gestured pulling his pistol from around his belt area, lifting it up to chest or shoulder height.

There were some technical difficulties after this point.

We're picking things up from here on out, and will loop back with what you missed shortly.

Lamarre-Condon has pleaded not guilty to murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies in February 2024.

Court reporter Jamie McKinnell explained what he testified here:
