Updated Simon Gittany Found GUILTY

[Oneiros]

Did she really say that? Awesome.

I read somewhere she and her Dad helped finance Gittany's defence to the tune of $170k. Stupidness must run in that family

$170k worth of legal defence and that crap was the best they could come up with?

the girlfriend is not showing up for the sentencing - maybe she has realised what a moron she is?

Nah, she's already got as much publicity as she wants and a big pay day for the tv interview.

She knows there's no need to stick with him anymore.

You'd hope so but...

he has just been handed 26 yrs!

Another girlfriend?! Why do we do it?

Haha, just kidding. What a scumbag.

 

[Fuzzy Wuzzy Bear]

Imo it seems pretty clear. I can't see her waiting around for 18 years for him.

 

[FreoGirl]

I wonder if the judge saw the tv show the other night, got really annoyed, and amped up the sentence

Apparently she has signed an exclusive deal with some network to give her opinions there, didn't want to ruin that with another courtroom outburst I guess

She's signed by Seven.They have part 2 of the interview this sunday night.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Smart work on her part. Get the big payday, and it's not as though he will be difficult to avoid in future.

"he didn't break her finger, he fractured it"

.

LOL

That was a classic. Second best was the post mentioned earlier about being physically impossible to throw a 50kg woman off the balcony. She could have at least made it a bit more plausible and said "a fighting woman", but even then it wouldn't be close to a solid defence.

I'm watching part 1 now..the most exciting part about it is the journo doing the interview - am a HUGE fan of Pennells

 

[Oneiros]

Yeah, if she doubted a bloke could throw a 50kg woman off a balcony pretty quickly, I'd imagine the murdered girl has a number of relatives willing to help her test the theory...

 

[grouse mate]

Watching the interview on Sunday night I was shocked when they said that they all knew one another from the very beginning, I think the current girlfriend said she gave Lisa, Simon's phone number or maybe the other way around before they started dating. Too me everything about the current girlfriend is too convenient to be true.

It really annoys me when stuff like this is reported. When someone is sentenced, often just one figure is quoted or headlined, almost always the maximum sentence. The reality is that served sentences are closer to the non-parole period.

News Ltd report: "[Gittany has been sentenced to] 26 years jail time with an 18 year non-parole period."

That should read:

News Ltd report: "[Gittany has been sentenced to] an 18 year non-parole period with a maximum 26 years jail time."

The headlines, the focus, should be on the non-parole period.

 

[bkozican]

This guy probably wont even last 18 years inside

I can't imagine him not stuffing up in prison - his past shows he is easily provoked. Released after 18 for good behaviour? I doubt he could manage that.

 

[Rusty22]

his arseh*le is never going to be the same

Yeah, you have to actually work for that sort of early parole. It's a nice little self-perpetuating trap for the really dangerous sorts. If you can't control yourself outside, you certainly won't be able to control yourself inside.

good

Hopefully she gets no more air time and he rots in jail.

 

[FreoGirl]

had no idea his sister was such a hotty

then you'll love 7's Sunday this weekend.

See the thrilling conclusion of Rachelle's paid interview where she flops around on the floor like a ******ed sloth

 

[WinmarToLockett]

Pretty amazing to think she'd want to be there despite the preponderance of evidence. Have to think its someone chasing limelight.

Strong vocabulary.

Nice work.
