Updated Simon Gittany Found GUILTY

[DNine]

Can't believe this bloke is denying throwing his ex-fiance Lisa Harnum off the balcony.

The defence is saying that he forcefully dragged her back into the apartment, where she then broke free, and ran and jumped from the balcony. Seriously, is anyone in the world going to believe that?

The defence says that there is evidence of a struggle, no hair, no blood, and no bruising on her neck or arms. WHAT ABOUT THE FOOTAGE THROUGH THE DOOR. How is that not evidence of a struggle? And if he controlled her through the door without drawing blood making bruises or pulling out hair, why could that not continue through the room and over the balcony.

If this bloke gets off, it will be the most obvious case to lead to an injustice EVER. They didn't even have as much on O.J Simpson.

Should post this on the Crime Board .

Yeah without knowing the ins and outs of it and not having full access to all the evidence like the jury it's very very hard to believe that she threw herself off the balcony.

It all comes to reasonable doubt though and it looks like that is what the defence is going for.

Can't believe his new missus looks very similar to Lisa Harnum

 

[lemon chicken]

Even if the defence is right that she did jump it was clearly because she was intimidated by him so he has to be guilty of something.

I don't think there is reasonable doubt to believe that an aggressor suddenly turns into a passive when not in the camera's eye.

Is there a jury in this case?. I thought they opted to have it a judge only trial.

Lucky it isn't a jury trial, or this would have well and truly blown it...

And it's doubtful that they even give a stuff.

The Judge has begun her statement on her verdict. While she is yet to hand down her verdict in this judge only trial she is using the terms no doubt a lot. Is that a pre curser to her finding a guilty verdict and ticking off the no reasonable doubt clauses in each scenario one by one.

I can't believe she would want to be with him

[Sterge]

Prob not the place for this but how can you date someone accused of throwing his last GF off a balcony

Gittany's girlfriend Rachelle Louise is screaming "you're wrong you're wrong"

Amy Dale ‏@amydale_tele 1m
Gittany has no emotion. His girlfriend can be heard screaming outside

 

[FreoGirl]

found guilty!

 

[red+black]

I honestly would not have been surprised if he had been found not guilty. Clearly he is a scumbag, but there probably is some possibility that he didn't do it. I think he did it, it was whether there was enough evidence to prove he did it beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

[red+black]

back on Feb 5 for sentencing #throwhimoffabalcony

His GF is reputedly in it for the publicity.

What??

 

[Lyttelton Ranger]

His GF is reputedly in it for the publicity.

She sounds like a class act.

I haven't read all the details regarding this case but I could just tell that Simon Gittany was a goner from the get-go.
