Ms Black conceded her client had lied to police about his affair, but said he had no criminal record and had never been violent towards his wife.
She said the prosecutor's case that Mr Johnston was a"passive, non-violent man" who"burnt his wife alive" was implausible."He was a cheating spouse, he had affairs … but is this a man who would set his wife alight?" The defence is set to argue Mrs Johnston grabbed the car's steering wheel before the crash, causing it to veer into the tree, possibly in an attempt to take her own life.
The jury will be presented with excerpts from Mrs Johnston's diary to give them an understanding of her mental state in the days and weeks leading up to her death.
