Prosecutors kicked off opening statements in the sex therapist murder trial Tuesday. Hollywood Hills detectives believe Dr. Amie Harwick was murdered by her ex-boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse, after a chance reunion between the two sparked an obsessive rage within Pursehouse. “She rejected his advances, she cut off all communication with him, so he punished her, broke into her house, and killed her,” Deputy District Attorney Victor Avila said.

Damn, jail time always changes people’s appearance and not for the better.
He had to have been watching her all those years. And definitely after seeing her. How else would he know right where to go in a house of that size?
Andrew Schaap in Standish UK did the same.
He served 2 years.
Meanwhile the prosecution service handed out 9 years mandatory to 2 old people growing pot in Bolton near Standish….. yet the UK is the world's biggest grower and seller according to the UN.
the real hero of the hour is Mr Michael …..what a guy , he heard her scream and???? he ran the f away :((((((( leaving her with the monster …..f sake what a hero
by all accounts this lady was very intelligent and it's a tragic loss not a great way to die
What a fool . So long u can’t get over it’s over. There is no excuse for that.
What had he been doing for the past 10 years?
Its a scary world we live in. The monsters hide in plain sight. They learn normal behaviors, they learn the right things to say, they play psychological games hoping to manipulate their victims….. too many women are being murdered by these psychos.
There should be an angie's list of these types..i am absolutely sure….she was not the 1st to experience this from this unhinged guy.
Rest in peace. My condolences to her family and friends.
This is heartbreaking!!! My heart goes out to all of you who go thru…and are going thru ….this terror right now!!!!! These obsessed people are ill and dangerous!!! Praying for your strength and safety 💓
The defendant used to be trim but looks bloated from the prison food and lack of exercise.
Woman need to be more careful these days. She seemed like an amazing person.
I really hope the jury finds him guilty, the defence rubbish is too offensive to be believed surely
RIP Amie x
Her friend robert did it.. he was REALLY obsessed with her
Crazy to me how they stalk women meanwhile have a new set of women… obsess over ur new female, why go where ur unwanted?
Terrible sad story. And I thought I dealt with some real nut jobs but he is scary!😬😡
Wow so the roommate knew about her crazy ex and still dropped the ball on every level. Couldn’t even let the cops in
What a f*cking creep. He probably spent his whole life feeling sorry for himself and finally felt he had someone to blame. Rest in peace, Amie. Hope he gets put away for the rest of his sorry life.
Ladies, you need to be absolutely diligent in preventing giving guys, who excessively obsess on you, the opportunity to be alone with you when you know something doesn't feel right. When such a relationship is over, set the terms on future communications and any future encounters with your first thought being – have you taken enough precautions to be physically protected if you are threaten with violence, and not just feel safe.
As a victim of stalking who went through a four year cout case, I understand this beautiful lady's anguish. It is debilitating to the extreme! A real life horror story lived day after day but you do your best to live your best life whilst under this constant fear and pressure. Blessings to Amie s soul and her loved ones. It's so so sad she didn't make it through her ordeal. May this psychopathic demon be locked away for ever for tormenting Amies life while she was alive. May this darling lady RIP and be remembered for her legacy…improving the relationship lives of others❤
Crime of passion happens no matter how many restraint order is issued
Took me a minute to realise the guy sitting in court was the ex boyfriend we saw in those old photos. Bro has had the biggest glow down. Explains why he’s clinging so bad to his hay day and ex girlfriend. He clearly can’t accept loss & change & no woman would give a short tempered has been clinging to his past a second chance, especially not in current times when she’s learned her worth. Sad story all around.
Why is this case going to trial, I don’t understand. He is clearly guilty. What could possibly be his defense??!!!
What he did couldn't be more obvious. He's going to prison for life and that is exactly what he deserves.
Those dispatchers are the worse they treat people like duh! : “okaaayyy alriiight you don’t know if she’s been attack” like whyy if the other person is in shock why you treat them like that that’s not even calming it is frustrating
Such a beautiful young woman. I can’t believe what happened to her. How could he even manage to sneak into her house like that? I pray for justice for her and for her family 🙏
Thanks!
A smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from others’ mistakes. Don’t be like Gareth. If a girl breaks your heart,
MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE.
Prison really didn’t do this guy any favours. He went from jacked psychopath to blubber boy. Remember gentlemen, no woman is worth going to prison for. He should’ve just moved on with his life and left her alone…. Now an innocent woman is dead, and his life is essentially over. There are no winners in murder.
To think people like this live in our world 🌎 and walk among us. The devil controls this man. He will now rot away on tax payer dollars for the next thiirty years. Once again, a murder that did not have to happen.
