I was thinking that too. Maybe they aare in business together with S.G. Not saying which business but who can put their hands on $170,000? When do they think they are going to be repaid. I would think he would qualify for the aged pension when he is eventually released.

Thanks everyone for all the updates and posts....felt like I was in the courtroom....and thanks also for all the laughs! The circumstances are evil and tragic but the manner in which SG and his supporters are conducting themselves is a complete joke, albeit a sick one! On another note, is anyone following the Katie Foreman trial?

Good morning all.
Thankyou Makara. Good start for the day.
A public reminder of priorities.
Lest we forget what this entire matter is really about.

Just wanted to set you guys up with some refreshments, before I head off to work.

May Gittany lose his lifetime of freedom for the inhuman act he committed against Lisa, and the sadness and despair he left behind!

Gittany's girlfriend Rachelle Louise says she'll stand by him as court hears new evidence he threatened to kill fiancee Lisa Harnum
AMY DALE CHIEF COURT REPORTER THE DAILY TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 06, 2014 12:00AM

"...Justice McCallum has indicated she will not take the evidence into account when sentencing him. This means that in the absence of evidence of premeditation it is unlikely Gittany will be considered in the worst category of murderers and thus sentenced to life behind bars...".

These people weren't aware of the constant trauma in the rship. At best, it was fraught with fractures & constant break ups. #gittany

@julieharnum sounds like his family & friends. Crown submit some of what they say contradicts evidence #Gittany didn't challenge at trial

Crown says #gittany has shown no contrition or remorse. @NewsTalk2UE

Jodie Speers ‏@jodiespeers 3m

Crown (Tedeschi) says Gittany has no remorse, & there can be no finding on prospects of rehabilitation given he doesn't admit responsibility
