REMINDER: The Judge is not allowing live streaming of this trial. L&C will be streaming this on a one-day delay.
Famed sex therapist Amie Harwick was found outside of her Hollywood Hills home struggling to hold onto life after allegedly being thrown off of a third-story balcony in 2020. Harwick died at a hospital shortly after the fall from blunt force injuries to her head and torso, along with evidence of strangulation. Authorities quickly zeroed in on her ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, who had previous restraining orders filed against him by Harwick and was described as a “stalker” by many of the doctor’s friends. Pursehouse now faces trial in a California courtroom for Harwick’s murder.
Pursehouse’s defense said the defendant admitted to breaking into Harwick’s home but did not murder her. They are seeking a not guilty verdict on the murder charge and asking for a lesser charge.

In Australia and UK they have requirements regarding the sampling, degradation and the amount of DNA wether it is admissible as the only evidence.
I can't remember if it is 45nGr or 45pGr out of the top of my head.
If interested google "DNA on trial".
The problem with DNA probabilities is that they are assumed undependant what they in fact are not!!
For example in rural areas with less immigration/"blood exchange" and because of that a narrow gen pool. The suspect also a "legacy" inhabitant..
In that case probabilies are rather in the range of 1e-9 than in 1e-24!!! Not that it does matter much but…..
The visit of his mates in jail was a bomb shell in my opinion! How could he know that he would be famous when he is innocent?
No, she made never up her bed after a wild night with Gareth?
What a WHINER !!!
Where is day 11??????????
1:14:37 I’m rewatching, and sooooo thankful 🙏 we spent soooooo much time⏳ trying to figure out if Amy made her bed 🛌 everyday or NOT. omg. HE KILLED HER, HE LAID IN WAIT, HE PLANNED IT OUT… IF SHE MADE HER BED 🛌 THAT MORNING OR NOT, IF THE MONSTER 👺 ALLOWED HER TO THINK SHE WAS SAFE IN HER HOME 🏡 AND LET HER GET INTO BED 🛌 BEFORE HE ATTACKED HER IS OF NOOOOOO CONSEQUENCE, HE FRICKUNG SLAUGHTERED HER, ON PURPOSE WITH MALICE & FORTHOUGHT… yeah everyone deserves a DEFENSE, A FAIR TRIAL….BUT DEFENSE DOESNT NEED TO TORTURE THE VICTIMS LOVED ONES, WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND TO SUFFER THIS TRAUMA..ASK INCONSEQUENTIAL QUESTIONS WHILE BEING STONE 🪨 COLD 🧊 AND NOT EMPATHETIC TO THEIR SUFFERING AT ALL. Defense coming across as STONE COLD as the MONSTER who murdered her, not a good look and certainly not winning over any jurors. This case was LOST @ the opening statement, there’s a mountain of evidence against him, he’s on VIDEO FFS, DEFENSE NEEDED TO BE SYMPATHETIC IF THEY HAD ANY HOPE OF THIS MONSTER 👺 NOT BEING PUT UNDER THE JAIL! Rant over. Ugh
I watch trials almost daily and this court/judge is one of the best I’ve seen on this channel. He controls the room, reacts/makes decisions quickly, with authority, and treats both sides the same. Very knowledgeable and doesn’t have to refer to case law for every objection. Impressed to say the least.
It would be nice if there was an organized playlist of every day of this trial. It’s a mess trying to find videos in chronological order.
Where is the rest of this trial? What was the verdict?
I wonder if we'll ever see the "Day 11" coverage from September 21, 2023.
Will there be testimony today?
Wait, did he say she was Drew Careys fiancé?
Laws really need to change! Case after case we hear "if anything happens to me, (blank/he) did it to me". I.e. antifreeze husband trial etc. There needs to be more protections in place for women. No woman should have to live in fear of a man in her life!
He just looks so sedated.
I thought the defense was going to call an accident reconstructionist to show Amie fell from the balcony while trying to get away. I wondered what happened.
This judge is redicilious…he wants to cut the evidence of the defense…trial will be overturned on appeal becausebof him
As felony murder, isn't this a slam dunk? Had he not committed the felony of breaking & entering and lying in wait, she would still be alive.
I wonder how the defendant thinks the trial is going at this point.
They need to tell the guy on the stand that he needs to get closer to the mic
My heart breaks for her friends, I cried right with her, I did not know Amie but her story really touched me. I'm so proud of her friends for sticking up for her, telling her story and showing that pos that although he took her life, she will never be forgotten. She will always remain the wonderful woman that she is, loved by many. Meanwhile, he will remain a pos pathetic loser who was envious of her for being a million times better than him.
I’m convinced the judge delayed viewing to generate more money for advertising, no opportunity for ads on live trials, ads every 3 minutes 😮
Is this a death penalty case?
I wish she would have gotten a gun 🙁
Why aren't you posting day 11 yet?
This guy is such a terrible attorney. Asking about curtains curtain rods did you say this or did you see this on TMZ etc. because he has nothing for defense
These court days are so short, how do they expect to get anything done? Under two hours for an entire day's proceedings? What's the point with that?
This defendant is hideous! Why did beautiful girls date him? I’m guessing no personality 🤷♀️
Amie was an amazing, beautiful, talented woman, with a group of loving friends. It was creepy when Garath sat and stared at Amie's best friend. He seems jealous of thier close relationship. I hope he pays with his life for stealing the beautiful life of Amie from the world.
Where is day 11? Surely at the end of day 10 above the judge said they would be meeting again next day so there should still be something today even one day behind. This trial coverage has been rather sporadic
When does the video start lol
Why do these trials always sound as if they're being held in a TB sanatorium?
Sometimes the coughing drowns out the evidence
