Gallery laughing at verbal sparring between witness & #gittany barrister. "She said ev-ery-thing was on the computer," she tells court.

Gittany taken back to cells for lunch. Witness to continue afterwards

Looks like this is going to take most of the day.

Defence asks witness if she's mistaken about the name Lisa Harnum gave of her boyfriend, because #gittany and her weren't in a relationship

In a way, from a legal standpoint, I am glad that there is an opportunity for the defense to question this new witness testimony.

However, if the defense is trying to imply that she was in multiple-relationships and that she had a second boyfriend who was the abusive one, this would border on post-mortem slandering.

Gittany sentencing hearing will break for lunch. Defence barrister said he needs to get instructions from Gittany after new evidence

Early lunch break at #gittany. Resumes at 1.20pm with more cross-examination of new witness

Would the defence have known that a new witness would be called today??

 

[they'll get you]

New witness at a sentence hearing? Is this normal?
What a 3 ring circus.
My daughter was outside & said the media were just wolves toward RL.
RL is the entertainment value for redneck television.

Sleepinoz you have been wonderful. The biggest thank you!

Hi Sleepinoz. You are doing a great job keeping the thread informed with up to the minute posts. I know how much energy is expended keeping up with the pace and multiple posters. Thank you for doing this today. :takeabow: Sorry I'm not in a position to do this today. However it's riveting! Keep up the good work.

Sentencing Witness Law & Legal Definition

A sentencing witness, also known as a punishment witness, is a witness who may be called at a sentencing hearing. In a criminal case, the sentencing hearing takes place after conviction has already been entered. The purpose of a sentencing hearing is to determine what punishment the defendant deserves for the crime he/she committed. The evidence presented at this hearing is not confined to evidence that would be admissible at trial. Generally, the rules of evidence do not apply.

A sentencing witness' testimony is taken for the purpose of influencing the sentence imposed by the presiding judge. Sentencing witnesses may be called by either the prosecution or defense.

I'm too lazy to reread the rules of the board. Are we allowed a caption contest?

If we are, my caption would be something more outrageous: SG supporters comparing him to "Lindy Chamberlain, Nelson Mandela" etc

Shapeless Corby's letter for release is on Justice Ministers desk-will be signed within the next 3 days......

Extraordinary scenes outside the Supreme Crt today - placards aplenty! - as Simon #Gittany sentencing hearing begins. http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/simon-git...t-declaring-his-innocence-20140205-320gp.html …

They should lead with Makara's placard.

Shapeless Corby's letter for release is on Justice Ministers desk-will be signed within the next 3 days......

Yes - it's all over twitter (twice as many tweets to read through) :facepalm:

 

[sleepinoz]

They should be heading back in by now.

 

[Makara]

Perhaps they will get ejected from court, and can spend the rest of the time outside picketing and smoking?

Or head back to the bottle shop where they started. They look like they've all just piled out of Corkscrew Cellars with their nonsensical placards. I so want to change that sign to Screw Loose Losers!

#Gittany hangs over the side of the dock talking to Rachelle Louise as he waits for his sentencing hearing to resume. They smile and laugh
