The man convicted of killing Hollywood sex therapist Amie Harwick in February 2020 was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison Wednesday.
Gareth Pursehouse, who in September was found guilty of first-degree murder in his ex-girlfriend Harwick’s death, potentially faced the death penalty, but was given a life sentence without the possibility of parole, CBS Los Angeles reports.
As Rolling Stone reported in March 2020, a month after the Feb. 15 murder, Harwick was strangled and thrown out of her own third-floor window by Pursehouse, who she dated for a few months years earlier.

Police are hunting for the gunman who “nonchalantly” walked into a Walmart outside Denver on Wednesday and opened fire on customers, killing three people before fleeing the scene. Police say the killings appear to be a random act of violence.
Two men and a woman were killed in the attack that occurred at around 6 p.m. at the Walmart in Thornton, Colorado, police announced. The men died inside the store and the woman died later that night at a hospital, authorities said on Twitter.
A surveillance photo of the suspect, shared by police, showed a white man wearing a dark jacket.
