WATCH: Hollywood Sex Therapist Murder Trial — CA v. Gareth Pursehouse — Day Six​

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.

Day After Murder | Friend Testifies Meeting Gareth Pursehouse​

Gareth Pursehouse's Tinder date testified saying she met up with Pursehouse the day after he allegedly killed celebrity therapist, Amie Harwick. The Tinder friend described him in the meetup as having a bruise and scratches on his face.

 

[arielilane]

Pursehouse rarely moves from this position - appears frozen in time. However, he gandered a snicker when witness AG pointed out the defendant wearing a suit. In addition, Pursehouse looked up once (maybe more- may have missed it) during the time defense showed photos of his apartment, he waited to look up after witness' responded to the question. Did he look up to see her then- when the witness was asked to step (end of testimony) down?

This poor young lady, meet him two/three weeks prior to Valentine's Day 2020 on Tinder app. Dr. Amie Harwick was murdered on February 15, 2020. moo

Yes, noticed the same.
Also, felt very sorry for her having to disclose intimacy * . Plus that she'd made the effort to travel so far to visit him on 15th, on an e bike, even though he'd blown her off for Valentine's Day's night. Then she helps him tidy his apartment even though he's still not interested.

So much for the Defense's argument that GP had been devastated ever since ' bumping into' AH at the January event. *

Anyway, makes me wonder if he arranged dates with women during Feb as an attempt at CYA. (He'd surely have known by early Feb that he was going to attack Amie Harwick. I 've not heard evidence for the source, receipts, date for the nicotine to know how far in advance he had ordered that bottle, maybe I missed it)

Concerning additional info about nicotine, recall lab director Dr. Woo's (?) testified about it, but agree nothing to link Pursehouse to having purchased it.

Amie Harwick’s brother believes ‘jealousy’ to blame for her death

Amie Harwick died early Feb. 15, 2020, after falling 20 feet from her bedroom balcony. Prosecutors allege her ex-boyfriend killed her.

www.newsnationnow.com

Updated: SEP 15, 2023 / 09:36 PM CDT

(NewsNation) — The brother of a well-known Hollywood sex therapist who was found dead in 2020 believes she died because of “jealousy” from her ex-boyfriend, who is now on trial for murder.

Harwick died early Feb. 15, 2020, after falling 20 feet from her bedroom balcony. Prosecutors allege her ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, killed her in a fit of rage after breaking into her home and waiting there for hours for her to come home before strangling her and throwing her off the balcony. [...]

Pursehouse faces life in prison if he is convicted.

Yes maybe it is coming later.
I saw the state's exhibit showing photo of the brown bottle of nicotine found at GP's home. I would like to think that State managed to trace the supplier & date of purchase.

BTW, did you see the latest (Law & Crime?) upload? Detective shows photos of the crime scene, specifically the position where Amie's body was found under the balcony. If you get to see it, have a look at the positions where some of Amie's items fell. For example, the hair scrunchie and ear ring. I wonder if there was quite a struggle on the balcony ( I had previously assumed that she'd been strangled to incapacitation elsewhere and then later been thrown over but some of her clothing is in disparate places on the ground as if these items came off in a struggle up on the balcony)

Watched parts of most recent L&C trial, rewatching Dr. Neal Benowitz's (toxicologist) testimony.

Iirc, there was a struggle, highly recommend Joseph Scott Morgan's Body Bags podcast he did on Dr. Harwick's case.

Hollywood Sex Therapist Amie Harwick Likely Fought for Life Before Being Thrown off Balcony: Autopsy

Amie Harwick, who was once engaged to Drew Carey, was allegedly killed by an ex-boyfriend

people.com

Published on April 3, 2020 02:23PM ED

Amie Harwick, the Hollywood sex therapist killed in February who was once engaged to Drew Carey, likely fought for her life before she was strangled and forced off her third-story balcony, according to her autopsy report.


The report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner — which was obtained by PEOPLE and was first obtained by The Blast — says Harwick sustained wounds on her fingers and hands “consistent with a combination of defense and assault type wounds, suggestive of an altercation.”

Thanks, will listen to that. He's usually very good.

Previously I had assumed that the urine - found by the officer outside the bathroom- was the place of struggle and strangulation but that now looks to be undetermined origin( Expert said could even have been her cat & TBF, the officer on scene did describe it as sticky - as if it had been there for a while, before the murder)

Yes I knew there was plenty of forensic evidence of a struggle but I'll check JSM to see if he mentions that struggle continuing to the last moment before she's thrown over. Terrifying for her.

Well worth a listen, even though he didn't testify and podcast done one year ago. I don't recall anything said about the struggle leading up to the moment before she was thrown over the balcony railing. The ME testimony will be so important as they are in most trials, cause of death blunt force trauma and there was brain, liver and pelvis damage. Of course - strangulation and there was markings on her neck, key areas of what caused the damage was it the struggle and/or fall, etc. Such a sad senseless and tragic case.

All of this is in my opinion and speculation
