I can't find an article anywhere that says what area/province/city Lisa was from in Canada. Does anyone here know?
Chyeah.. I was looking the new girlfriend's picture last night, thinking exactly the same thing - and wondering how she can think he'll be any different toward her...
I think he murdered Lisa, hands down guilty, and I also think he somehow thinks he's going to get away with it.
Seriously, if this guy doesn't do life in jail, I'm emigrating to somewhere with a better grip on the concept of justice.
The court also heard Ms Harnum hid two pillowcases filled with clothes and shoes behind equipment in the apartment building's gym in preparation of her leaving her partner.
Mr Strickland told the court on Monday that Ms Harnum had a "vulnerable personality" and had previously engaged in risk-taking and destructive behaviour, such as running through busy traffic on George Street in the Sydney CBD, and on one occasion, jumping from a moving car.
He said the 30-year-old may have climbed over the balcony with the intention of committing suicide or as a cry for help. She had then slipped and fallen to her death, before Mr Gittany could save her.
The trial continues.

How many believe the victim would run through busy traffic?
me either.
:no:
Amazing how stupid these guys think courts are.:rocker:
:cow:
fran
^^ she was probably running away from him :scared:
did Lisa change her name to Cecilia while she was in Austalia
Cecilia is Lisa's middle name and I've seen her referred as both names.
Ms Harnum's counsellor Michelle Richmond testified before the court today.
She said Ms Harnum had told her she was not allowed to leave home alone, had no friends and was completely isolated.
Ms Harnum told Ms Richmond that she had to be very careful with her words around Gittany, and had to look him in the eyes if there were other men around when they were out.
I read somewhere (not sure where now - information overload!!) that she liked to be called by her middle name Cecilia by her friends.
