Jurors heard closing arguments Tuesday in the trial of 45-year-old Gareth Pursehouse, charged with murdering his ex-girlfriend in February 2020.
The victim was 38-year-old Amie Harwick, who lived in the Hollywood Hills and worked as a family and sex therapist. Harwick was haunted by one of her own past relationships in the weeks leading up to her death.
In the defense's closing arguments today, attorney Robin Bernstein-Lev described Pursehouse as a man in crisis, suggesting he had no closure after the breakup with Harwick. "He can't get past this, and it demolishes him to have to acknowledge this to her," said Bernstein-Lev. "He's not manipulating her. He's revealing his darkest secret to her."
On Valentine's Day 2020, Pursehouse broke into Harwick's home and waited for her to arrive. While the defense refers to him wanting to "talk" as his motivation, prosecutors say he was there for one thing: to kill.
