Transcript: Simon Gittany's secret life

Simon Gittany's secret life (TRANSCRIPT)

CLICK HERE for story info and video.

CHRIS BATH: Lisa Harnum was a vivacious and beautiful 30-year-old. Simon Gittany was her fiance - a controlling man who monitored every moment of her life. On the day Lisa died, Gittany was captured on a hidden camera dragging her back into his apartment as she tried to leave him. 69 seconds later, Lisa plunged 15 storeys to her death. Gittany says she climbed over the balcony and lost her footing. But a judge found he'd thrown Lisa to her death. During the trial, Gittany had one main supporter - his new girlfriend, Rachelle Louise. So why is she standing by a convicted murderer? Now here's two of Australia's most respected investigative journalists, both gold Walkley Award winners - the 'West Australian' newspaper's Steve Pennells and our own Ross Coulthart. And a warning this report contains some strong language.

SIMON GITTANY (PHONE FOOTAGE): OK. Let's kiss for the camera. Hey! There you go!

LISA HARNUM (PHONE FOOTAGE): I got to see myself! I've got to see what I look like on camera when I'm kissing!

ROSS: What were your impressions over the period of time you worked with Lisa, of Simon Gittany?

LISA’S COUNSELLOR MICHELLE RICHMOND: My impression was that he was... a passionate man and an aggressive man.

ROSS: I presume you've followed the recent murder trial with Lisa Harnum's death?

MICHELLE: Yes.

ROSS: There's a lot of descriptions of his rage, his anger.

DETECTIVE SENIOR CONSTABLE KEITH BRISTOW: I've seen plenty of that.

ROSS: He bit a piece off your ear?

DETECTIVE BRISTOW: He did. Gittany's a control freak. When he's not in control, he lashes out.

LISA (PHONE FOOTAGE): Do a little pirouette for me, baby. Oh! So cute!

PRIEST: I saw enough of him to know what Simon is.

STEVE: So you know enough about him to still think, in your heart, that he could be innocent?

PRIEST: Yes.

STEVE: So, the early hours of that morning, you hadn't heard from Lisa?

LISA’S MOTHER JOAN HARNUM: Hmmm (nods)

STEVE: And sent a series of texts, aggressive texts, to Simon Gittany? And I imagine, at this stage, you are getting increasingly frantic?

JOAN: Exactly. (reads texts) "Simon, please, let me speak to Lisa.

"Simon, why are you doing this?”

"Please let me talk to her or let her come home.”

"I am contacting the authorities.”

"Please let me speak to Lisa.”

"You talk about being a man, then prove it - let me speak to her and let her come home, please.”

"Please let me know if she is OK.”

“If you believe in God, Simon, please let me talk to Lisa.”

"Please, Simon. Please let me know she is OK.

"Please, Simon, this is her mother begging for her child..."

I don't want to read any more.

STEVE: What's going through your mind as you're sending these?

JOAN: I just wanted to hear from my daughter. That's all. I just wanted to know she is OK.

ROSS: Simon Gittany has been accused and found guilty of one of the most dreadful and notorious crimes in recent times. What do you say to that?

GITTANY’S NEW GIRLFRIEND, RACHELLE LOUISE; Well, I don't believe that he was guilty so I think that, it's really wrong what they've done to him.

ROSS: You believe Simon is innocent?

RACHELLE: I know that Simon is innocent.

ANNOUNCER: On Wednesday, 27 November last year 40-year-old Simon Gittany was found guilty of murdering his 30-year-old fiancee Lisa Harnum by throwing her over the balcony of their 15th floor apartment. Outside court, his new girlfriend, 24-year-old Rachelle Louise, was distraught.

ROSS: Do you remember when you walked outside and there were about 100 cameras pointed right at you and you lit a cigarette?

RACHELLE: I remember I first came out, I was just like, these noises coming out of me, I can't even remember, I was just letting out air because I was like, "Freakin' eff, man!" I couldn't believe that it happened.

(CAMERAS CLICK)

MEDIA: Are you filming us, Rachelle?

RACHELLE: When he was found guilty, um, I just wanted to have a cigarette, but when I went outside I realised "I don't have a lighter" and there was just so many friggin' people, like, there were so many media people.

RACHELLE: But really, when I watch it, I didn't even notice that I was shaking, you know, but I was just so overwhelmed with emotion, I just couldn't believe that that happened.

ROSS: Will you stand by Simon, Rachelle?

RACHELLE: Simon is an innocent person and he needs, someone needs to help hi and that is exactly what I'm doing and I plan on standing by him until justice prevails.

GITTNY (PHONE FOOTAGE): Baby!

RACHELLE: I love this song, I love you so much.

(BILLY JOEL'S 'PIANO MAN' PLAYS)

ROSS: When did you first meet Simon?

RACHELLE: I met him five years ago, just over five years ago.

ROSS: Were you lovers or just friends?

RACHELLE: No, we were just friends.

ROSS: When did you first fall in love with him?

RACHELLE: Um, I fell in love with Simon in... in October, 2012.

ROSS: There has been ever so many suggestions that you guys were lovers well before he met Lisa Harnum.

RACHELLE: Really? Goodness. No.

ROSS: There has been a hell of a lot made about the fact that you two are very similar. What's your response?

RACHELLE: I just think that they are trying to sensationalise a story. I think there are trying to make Simon look like a predator, that he allegedly killed a woman and now he's gone for a woma that looks like her. I personally don't think that we look alike.

ROSS: You don't think you look like?

RACHELLE: Nope. I really don't think so.

ROSS: She's got big, beautiful eyes and my eyes are not massive.

ANNOUNCER: Lisa Harnum was born in Canada in 1981. She never met her father.

STEVE: How old was she in this picture?

JOAN: She was - I think she was around five.

ANNOUNCER: Lisa and her elder brother, Jason, were raised by their mother, Joan.

JOAN: It was nice to have like a son and then have a daughter as well. It was kind of the perfect family that you want, one of each, but, you know, it was great.

STEVE: She was pretty special?

JOAN: She was very special, yeah, she was.

ANNOUNCER: Lisa was a talented dancer and loved ballet but she was bullied at school. She battled depression and developed a serious eating disorder. At 18, she was hospitalised.

JOAN: It was a tremendous struggle. We almost lost her, you know, a few times, from the disease but she pulled through.

STEVE (OUTSIDE HOSPITAL): What happened at this hospital in Toronto was crucial to Simon Gittany's defence. As a teenager, Lisa spent months here being treated for life-threatening eating disorders bulimia and anorexia nervosa. Gittany's lawyers argued she was still struggling with these illnesses in Australia. They said she was fragile, physically and mentally, and impulsive enough to climb over the balcony of the apartment.

STEVE: Did she ever contemplate suicide? I ask that because, obviously, in court, it was raised.

JOAN: No. She didn't. You know, she loved people, she loved life and she loved her family. For somebody to say that, I mean, this is the kid who, when she was in her early 20s, had never been away from home and she goes the other side of the world to deal with life on her own - that's not somebody who wants to take their life, that's somebody who wants to live their dream.

ANNOUNCER: The world Lisa Harnum grew up in was very different to Simon Gittany's. He was raised in the western Sydney suburb of Merrylands, a Lebanese Christian from a large family. At 18, Gittany was given a two-year good behaviour bond for savagely punching a deli owner who'd asked him not to harass a female employee, Gittany's ex-girlfriend. Three years later, the police came calling again.

ROSS: How would you rank what happened with you with Simon Gittany?

DETECTIVE BRISTOW: Oh, definitely the worst.

ANNOUNCER: Detective Sergeant Keith Bristow and his partner were investigating theft at the business where Gittany worked. The plainclothes officers went to his family home and while there, they tried to serve a warrant for his arrest on another stealing charge.

DETECTIVE BRISTOW: The first thing I remember is my partner being struck and being knocked down out the floor. And then I got hit over the back of the head with what I believe was one of those boombox things, a cassette player. It was a female - I can't remember if it was his sister or his mother.

ROSS: His mother was involved in the assault?

DETECTIVE BRISTOW: She was involved, yep. It was a free for all. I had hold of Gittany and they're sort of getting stuck into me from behind. He fell onto the back of a bed and I landed on top of him - that is when I felt him bite into my left ear. I said to him, "Don't do it, don't do it". He bit right through and spat the piece out in front of me. I've been at the police force for a while. It's the first time anything like this has happened to me.

ROSS: How big a piece, Keith?

DETECTIVE BRISTOW: Oh, I don't know - maybe the size of a 20c piece.

ROSS: So, a fair chunk?

DETECTIVE BRISTOW: Yeah. He didn't miss me.

ROSS: He bit that police officer's ear so badly that a piece of the ear came off in his mouth. Did he tell you about that?

RACHELLE: Yes, he did tell me about that.

ROSS: What did he tell you happened there?

RACHELLE: Well, he was defending himself. He was - the police officer had come into their home and, um, they were not wearing uniforms so he didn't know they were police officers. When he was told that he was under arrest, the guy that was lying on top of him, Simon couldn't breathe and, you know, I don't condone what he did but it happened, you know.

ROSS: Had you done anything to provoke him?

DETECTIVE BRISTOW: No.

STEVE: On his right arm, Simon Gittany has a tattoo of a cross and it was his religion that helped him escape lengthy jail terms. After a priest supported his claim that he'd undergone religious conversion, Gittany got weekend detention. He then left Australia for a strict Catholic order at a monastery three hours east of Paris - swapping one cell for another. This was a place of hardship and strict discipline for Simon Gittany. Every morning, he was woken well before 5:00 for a day of prayer - seven hours of it. His meals were served alone in one of these small, bare rooms they called a cell. He was sealed off from the outside - about as far away from his former life as he could possibly get. For 18 months, this was Simon Gittany's world.

(BELL TOLLS)

ROSS: It was 18 months that he spent at a seminary, apparently.

DETECTIVE BRISTOW: It was a means to an end.

ROSS: You're sceptical?

DETECTIVE BRISTOW: Very much so.

ROSS: Was this religious devotion genuine?

FATHER DELSORTE: Oh, indeed, yes, no doubt.

ANNOUNCER: Father Michael Delsorte has known Simon Gittany for two decades.

FATHER DELSORTE: When he went over to the monastery, he was doing the best he could to lead a good life.

STEVE: Do you believe in his heart, he is a deeply spiritual man?

FATHER DELSORTE: Oh, yes.

ANNOUNCER: But after 18 months, Simon quit the order, confessing he couldn't cope with a lifetime of celibacy. He left the good life, for the good life, especially at Sydney's Ivy nightclub.

FATHER DELSORTE: Instead of increasing the prayer life, he may very well have just let it slip a little bit.


ROSS: When he was convicted for the murder of Lisa Harnum late last year, all of these revelations about his criminal past came out. And we've got to go through all of this, we have got to raise...

RACHELLE: Yeah, I understand all that.

ROSS: There was around 2000, an incident where he was pulled over in a black Porsche Boxster. He was found in possession of 52 ecstasy tablets and a large sum of money - bundles of cash that he had hidden in his pants. Eventually, he pleaded guilty to being a drug supplier. Did he tell you about that?

RACHELLE: Yes, he told me about that as well.

ROSS: How did he explain it?

RACHELLE: Well, it was actually his friend who got pulled over, um, didn't have a licence, and he asked him to hold it for him. Because he thought the police obviously would not search Simon.

ROSS: So why did he plead guilty?

RACHELLE: He was advised by his lawyer to do that so go speak to his lawyer.

ROSS: There is the whiff that comes for that arrest for the ecstasy tablets, that he's a bit of an operator, that he's a dealer in drugs. Is he?

RACHELLE: No! I'm sorry, but it's just so ridiculous, really. Like, did you also see the media come out and say that because he started a business, a legitimate business with two people who are convicted of methamphetamine dealing,so then he automatically is doing it? Guilt by association? That's ridiculous!

VIDEO OF LISA: I am a glow-worm! Glow worms! My little pony! Glow-worms! I think I got a bite! Whoa!

SUPER: In January 2005 Lisa Harnum left Canada to live and work in Australia.

STEVE: Were you worried about losing her to a country on the other side of the world?

JOAN: Absolutely. That's kind of a mother's worst nightmare. I mean, you know your children are going to leave the nest, but you don't want the nest to be that far away. And being female - I mean, you don't worry so much about the guys - but your daughter, you do worry.

ROSS: When did you first meet Lisa Harnum?

RACEHLLE: I met her in December, I think it was January 2010.

ROSS: Is it the case that you actually introduced Lisa to Simon?

RACEHLLE: Well, no.

ROSS: Oh, right. So, again, it has been misreported somewhere that you are actually the person that made the introduction.

RACHELLE: Well, I gave her his phone number.

ANNOUNCER: Lisa moved into Simon's innner-city apartment first as a flatmate. They began dating. They were soon a couple, and within weeks, they were in love.

JOAN: She, uh...she liked him. They got along well. It was almost like she truly felt that, you know, he cared about her.

STEVE: So you had no concerns when she had told you that they started seeing each other?

JOAN: No, um, at that point I didn't, because I trusted her.

VIDEO OF LISA AND SIMON: Gee, is that us? We've been caught. We've been caught (joking).

JOAN: They could sit down and talk for hours, and were both interesting people and they were comfortable with each other at that point.

VIDEO OF LISA AND SIMON: What are you calling me a chicky for?! (SQUEAKS)

JOAN: If I could say anything good to Simon good, it would be thank you for letting my my daughter convert to Catholicism because she took it to heart and she just shone after, you know, taking her vows.

ANNOUNCER: On Easter Sunday 2011, with Simon beside her, Lisa took her vows.

VIDEO OF LISA AND SIMON: Hey, 'She-smelia'! This is called a fashion show... a la Thredbo (Lisa is wearing ski pants).

ANNOUNCER: She also stopped using her first name, Lisa, and, instead, asked people to call her by her middle name, 'Cecilia'. Outwardly, they seemed a happy couple, but when Simon wasn't around, she was emailing her mother about his sudden rages.

JOAN READS (from Lisa): "I'm OK, Mum. He has calmed down. The stress is getting to the both of us," and I said, "Is everything OK? You need to get out of there. Just leave. He is not good." And Lisa said, "Mum, please don't send me messages like that. He reads them, OK?"

STEVE: So, let me get this right. At that stage, you realised that he is monitoring your communications between you and your daughter.

JOAN: I thought so because she said to me when she came home in December that year, "How does he always know where I am?", and I said,"He has your phone bugged," because he had given her
a new phone before she came home. And she didn't believe that he would do that.

ROSS: Perhaps the most devastating evidence that goes to the issue of Simon's controlling behaviour was when he installed covert software that allowed him to secretly monitor the messages on her phone. If Simon did that to you, how would you feel?

RACHELLE: Well, to be honest, I really wouldn't care because I don't have anything to hide, so....

ROSS: But?

RACHELLE: I'd think he'd just be a loser.

ROSS: Do you agree that it was an appalling breach of trust?

RACHELLE: Definitely. I agreed that it was wrong for him to do because if you don't trust your partner, you shouldn't be with them - but we all make that mistake.

ROSS: Why did Simon do it?

RACHELLE: Because he obviously didn't trust her.

STEVE: A month later, she sends you another message. You ask if everything is OK and she replies...

JOAN READS (from Lisa): "Same as usual, walking timebombs. Any minute, boom - explosions."

STEVE: When she spoke to you, what kind of things did she say would set him off?

JOAN: Um, just about anything - um, she didn't cook something right or sometimes, he had a bunch of his friends over and she'd cook them something and he wasn't happy with what she had cooked or he didn't like what she wore, um, she took too long if she went somewhere, um, just anything and everything would set him off.

STEVE: What is this doing to her self-esteem at this point in time?

JOAN: It was slow, you could see that it was slowly kind of eating at her - she was getting unsure of herself.

STEVE: And some of these confrontations got violent?

JOAN: Some of them did, yes.

RACHELLE: Lisa went to two separate counsellors seven months apart who both said that there was no physical violence, no violence at all in their relationship, so...

ROSS: Apart from the broken finger?

RACHELLE: Well, it wasn't broken, it was fractured - like, I once fractured my toe walking down the street, come on.

ROSS: Joan overheard an argument between Lisa and Simon while on the phone with Lisa. She says, "Lisa called me and told me she had picked up her personal handbag to leave and he grabbed it and yanked at the purse. When he pulled the purse off her, it broke her finger."

RACHELLE: Yeah, well, Simon has told me about that. They were having an argument and she was, right... because she would just, he said, would run away, like, impulsively, and then this time when he grabbed the bag, he said the bag had a very big, like, the buckle - the handle part is like metal - so when he was grabbing it, like, you know, they were both holding the bag, he said it did actually fracture her finger.

ANNOUNCER: Clearly, this was a volatile relationship - nonetheless, just over a year after they began dating, Simon asks Lisa to marry him.

STEVE: On her 30th birthday, she got engaged to Simon Gittany. Did she ring you up and tell you about that?

JOAN: She did.

STEVE: Did she sound happy?

JOAN: Um, it's hard to say, um...

VIDEO OF LISA AND SIMON: In the presence of everyone, and in the presence of God, without further adieu, I just want to say to Cecilia, baby... (LAUGHTER)(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

STEVE: Have you seen the video of the proposal?

JOAN: One day I guess I will sit down and watch it, but right now, it's too emotional.

VIDEO OF STEVE AND LISA: Yes, Cecilia? (LAUGHTER) Congratulations! I am so sorry. That's alright!

(CAMERA CLICKS)

ANNOUNCER: Six weeks and six days after she accepted Simon Gittany's proposal, Lisa Harnum was dead.
(CAMERA CLICKS) The smile she showed to the camera masked increasing emotional turmoil. Lisa began confiding in her personal trainer, who suggested she seek counselling for, among other things, her eating disorder which had returned. The trainer recommended Michelle Richmond. Eight days before her death, Lisa had her first meeting with Michelle and quickly opened up.

MICHELLE: She started talking about how she had been cut off and she felt monitored and she couldn't go anywhere and started talking about the things that were happening.

ROSS: Lisa was so concerned at that first meeting, she asked you not to take notes, didn't she?

MICHELLE: Yes.

ROSS: Why did she do that?

MICHELLE: She didn't want there to be any evidence or any way that Simon could ever find out what we discussed.

ROSS: She admitted to you that she'd suffered bulimia as a youngster and that she was suffering bulimia now. She hadn't told Simon about it, had she?

MICHELLE: No. With the bulimia, she said was the only thing she felt like she could control in her life. And she had no control of anything in her life - who she saw, where she went, what she wore, the way she did her hair, even who she spoke to - so the bulimia was her private little world that he could not dominate.

ROSS: One of the things that was put in the court as well was, again, with this controlling issue, was that he told Lisa just to wear basic clothes - that she couldn't wear dresses, just to wear pants - and that she wasn't to go out to clubs anymore because he gets uncomfortable with all the guys around, and he also told her not to wear high heels to the shops.

RACHELLE: Well, he doesn't like me wearing high heels to the shops either. But the other stuff, I don't believe at all.

ROSS: I have to ask you this,is it possible that Lisa was making it up?

MICHELLE: I don't believe so.

ROSS: Why not?

MICHELLE: You can tell when you're talking to someone when they are enhancing the truth... And there was nothing about what she was saying that was...would make me doubt that.

VIDEO OF LISA AND SIMON: I am truly grateful to have all of you in my life right now. Um... I'm so grateful to have you in my life, baby. Um, this man right here has given me the greatest gift of all and that is the gift of God.

ANNOUNCER: Six days after proposing to Lisa Cecilia Harnum, Simon Gittany sent her this email.

SUPER: Cecelia you are my fiancee & I love you but we both know you have some problems... Please get rid of them! Words from my heart.

ANNOUNCER: This is her reply.

SUPER: I love you too Simon... but it breaks my heart to think that instead of helping me... you resort to yelling and telling me to get rid of my faults or we won't work. My ehole life all I wanted was to be accepted.

ROSS: One of the key issues that you were able to make a judgment about is Lisa's self-esteem. How was it by the stage that you saw her?

MICHELLE: Broken.

VIDEO OF LISA AND SIMON: And welcome to 23 July... June. June. (GIGGLES) 2011.

ANNOUNCER: Gittany had two sides - he could be charming or he could be threatening. The court heard that he threatened to have Lisa deported if she ever left him.

JOAN: He would say to her, "If you're gonna leave, the only place you're going is the airport to go home or I will have your passport cancelled 'cause I know people."

STEVE: Would she tell you about these incidents?

JOAN: I don't think she told me everything.

STEVE: How does that make you feel?

JOAN: It breaks your heart. 'Cause you wanna be there for your kids.

ANNOUNCER: Lisa began making plans to leave Simon. Two days before her death, she packed and took a bag of personal possessions to a Bondi storage unit that she'd booked and paid for. That same afternoon, she sent a text to Michelle Richmond. Gittany had installed surveillance cameras inside and outside their apartment but what Lisa didn't know is that he'd also secretly loaded spyware on her computer and phone.

ROSS: She SMS'd you, telling you she was putting clothes into storage. What she clearly didn't know at that stage was her SMSs were being monitored, weren't they?

MICHELLE: Yes.

ROSS: What happened next?

MICHELLE: Later that evening I had a call from Lisa's number and it was Simon.

ROSS: Do you remember the exact words he said to you? How he started it off?

MICHELLE: "If you..."

ROSS: You picked up the phone. He called you something, didn't he?

MICHELLE: Yeah. "You f**king bitch. If you ever come near her again, I'll harm you. I know where you live."

ROSS: He says, "Michelle, you f**king bitch, if you ever come near Cecilia again, try to contact or meet her, have anything to do with her, I know where you live. I will f**king harm you." That's a threat of very serious physical violence.

RACHELLE: I just don't believe that Simon would say that. I really don't.

ROSS: Were you scared by that conversation?

MICHELLE: Yes.

ROSS: Were you scared for Lisa after that conversation?

MICHELLE: Yes.

ANNOUNCER: 48 hours later, Lisa called her mother in Canada. It was to be their final conversation.

JOAN: She says, "Mommy, just take down this information I'm gonna give you. Write it down, make sure you get it right. Write it down." And she gave me Michelle Richmond's information and she said "Repeat it to me. Repeat it, please repeat it. Make sure you get it right." I went, "OK." She said, "If anything happens to me, contact Michelle right away." I go, "What are you talking about?" She said, "It's OK, Mommy. I'm going to bed now. I'll talk to you as soon as I can, the next morning."

ROSS: Were you surprised when you heardLisa had given Joan, her mum, your details to contact her in the event of her dying.

MICHELLE: Very.I though she must have know that things were going to go wrong.

(CAMERA CLICKS)

ROSS: On Saturday, July 30, 2011, Simon Gittany woke early. He went to his study and tried to log onto his spyware system so he could read Lisa's messages. When he couldn't get access, he told the trial he watched some pornography instead.

STEVE: Later that morning, when he still couldn't log on, he says he confronted Lisa about changing his password. He says they argued before he went back to bed.

(CAMERA CLICKS)

ROSS: When he woke later that morning, Gittany says Lisa had packed her bags and told him she had booked a flight. When he challenged her, she grabbed her handbag and ran for the apartment door. Gittany went after her. It was 9:54:09 exactly.

ROSS: What happens next.... is that. What does that show?

RACHELLE: Simon's hand over her mouth.

ROSS: I find that quite horrifying.

MICHELLE: It really does look horrifying when you look at it that way. But, I mean, you have to understand also is that Simon is acting instinctively - they had a relationship where she would run away from him and he would chase her and that's exactly what he's done. She's run, he's chased her, she screamed, he's put his hand on her mouth and brought her back inside.

ROSS: 69 seconds from this point...

RACHELLE: Yes.

ROSS: Lisa Harnum is dead.

RACHELLE: Yes.

ROSS: The neighbours, the Glanvilles,were right next door....

RACHELLE: Yes.

ROSS: And they gave very strong evidence that said that they both heard a woman yelling, screaming,
"Please help me! Help me! God, help me!"

RACHELLE: And they never phoned the police, by the way.

ANNOUNCER: After returning to his flat to put on a T-shirt, Simon Gittany caught the lift 15 storeys down to the ground floor. Unaware that her daughter was dead, Lisa's mum would soon begin texting Simon, pleading with him to reassure her that there was nothing wrong.

JOAN READS: "Please let me know if she is OK. If you believe in God, Simon, please let me talk to Lisa. Please, Simon, please let me know if she is OK. Please, Simon, this is a mother begging for her child." (SOBS)

JOAN: Then, finally, the phone rang - and it was about 2:00 in the morning, I guess - and I ran to the phone and I just said, "Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!" and then a man's voice came on and said, you know, he was a police officer and he had some news for me.

STEVE: At that stage, your thoughts turned to Simon Gittany straightaway?

JOAN: The first thing I said, that came out of my mouth was, "He killed her."

MICHELLE: I was devastated... and shocked. And, as I said, my words were just, "I didn't think he'd kill her", that is all I could say, over and over.

Simon Gittany is expected to be sentenced this Tuesday. Next Sunday, the startling conclusion to our investigation.
