Yesterday I reported that Morant told the court that he was innocent.
"(She said) I'm afraid and I really don't want to do it," Ms Morant's friend Johanna Cornelia Dent testified in Brisbane Supreme Court on Wednesday.
"But I made so many promises to everybody that the only way out would be to win lotto.Morant allegedly assisted the suicide of his wife because she had 1.4 million dollars in Life Insurance that he wanted to use to purchase a property for a religious commune. According to 9News.com Dent told the court:
Ms Dent said Ms Morant stayed with her the week before she died and when she returned home, she had a "deal with Graham" to end her life.
"If I hadn't come down here to see you, I would have already been dead," Ms Morant allegedly said.
When Ms Dent asked her how she would do it, she claims she responded: "Don't worry, darling. I won't feel any pain. Graham says he knows a way I can do it."
Under cross-examination, Ms Dent said she did not call the police about Morant because Jennifer eventually told her she would not go through with it.
The court case continues tomorrow.

A classic example of coercion by the husband who had most to gain by her death. Justice demands he be found guilty and do jail time. That poor woman. How pressured she must have felt by the man who was supposed to be her protector.
