It must be very difficult to come to terms with the fact that ALL LOGICAL EVIDENCE shows that somebody that you have loved your whole life, is a murderer. Not only must you reconcile the fact that he has taken a life away in the most heinous and selfish of circumstances and forever destroyed the wellbeing of Lisa's parents, family and friends, but also, you must accept the fact that he is lying to you about it.

There are inconsistencies. It seems as if the defence can't decide on whether she leapt or whether she just happened to fall (because she was terrified of the psycho fiance) or he threw her off because he had something to hide and she knew about it (why else drag her back in the apartment, when she wanted to leave?).<br /><br /><br />Chloenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997365821147418019.post-57024189893144961882013-01-18T23:50:46.076+11:002013-01-18T23:50:46.076+11:00This case illustrates the level that defence couns...This case illustrates the level that defence counsels will go to in order to lower the victim. And even if she had an eating disorder, that doesn't necessarily mean she is suicidal. I'm glad the magistrate said as much.<br /><br />This man Gittany is cunning. For these videos to surface on YouTube and all that, it indicates a desperation to show innocence when the contrary appears to be the case. I'm hoping that the prosecution investigate the background of this Gittany character.<br />If he was so innocent as he claims, then why didn't he allow her to leave? But no, he had to pull her back into the apartment and he is filmed.<br />I'd hate to be his lawyer. The reasoning used by his barrister - that Gittany was open with police, even to say that he didn't let her go, is damning in itself.<br />It seems to me that the anonymous commenter in this thread, so vehement in their defense of Gittany, is also hell bent on defaming the victim.<br />If she was so irrational, then why was she desperately knocking on doors yelling for help?<br /><br />It's quite astounding to think that the defense and this Gittany psycho, are maintaining the victim was mentally unbalanced, when in reality it is Gittany that has mental issues.<br /><br />To all women: if your boyfriend puts you on the spot in public to say yes to a marriage proposal, run away. It's quite sick to think that these videos are on YouTube.<br /><br />There has to be something else there and I hope the prosecution find it. For a woman to have her bags packed, passport ready. She wanted to leave, but he had to stop her in some way and there has to be a reason for that. Unfortunately women in these relationships with controlling men, end up being privy -not because they want to -to many things they come across. Whatever it was, he felt that he couldn't let her leave.<br /><br />Chloenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997365821147418019.post-3319325254845774772013-01-18T22:58:03.709+11:002013-01-18T22:58:03.709+11:00No question Simon Gittany is a cowardly little wan...No question Simon Gittany is a cowardly little wanker.

He prob. suffers from small Dick small man syndrome.... But all we know is what we read. Its so easy to form opinions based on hate.I despise him based on what i have read and his photo. Should I? No! He is due a fair trial. None of us were there. Surely the judicial system will bring the jury to make an informed decision based on the facts. RIP Lisa.

This kind of evidence is the norm in most countries and I believe NSW is in the process of coming into line.<br /><br />It seems likely that where a defendant has prior convictions for violence against woman and police and the victim then that pattern should be presented to the jury to consider. Such evidence would have been mandatory for the victim to have achieved an apprehended violence order against the defendant. In effect, establishing the violent nature of the relationship is the only basis in law to seek protection from the aggressor but, after the fact that behaviour cannot currently be considered.<br /><br />It is no harder for the jury to deal with this evidence than the complex medical and physics forensic evidence. They are frequently asked to decide about other "psychological" evidence.<br /><br />In my opinion, juries get the verdicts right almost all the time (unless there is legal misbehaviour).<br /><br />Time for the NSW Attorney General to get moving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997365821147418019.post-61924518820256675792013-01-18T07:11:03.313+11:002013-01-18T07:11:03.313+11:00^^^Very well said 3.28am!!^^^Very well said 3.28am!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5997365821147418019.post-59771947496925075052013-01-18T03:28:37.792+11:002013-01-18T03:28:37.792+11:00I think the posts that defended him were written b...I think the posts that defended him were written by his sister.<br />The whole family is crazy.
