Christy Giles’ husband: Hollywood producer's defense is 'shaky'

() Jan Cilliers, the husband of late model Christy Giles, criticized the defense strategy of David Pearce, the aspiring Hollywood producer accused of murdering Giles and her friend.

Pearce’s defense attorney Jeff Voll argued that the women were responsible for their own deaths, People reported. Cilliers believes the claims “don’t make sense.” 

“Nothing about their defense is solid, it’s very shaky,” Cilliers said during an exclusive Friday appearance on Newsnation’s “Banfield.” “I’m pretty sure the jury sees this.”

Giles and Hilda Cabrales-Arzola died after a night out in Los Angeles in 2021. The trial for the two men they allegedly met that evening is now underway. Pearce has been charged with double murder, and his roommate, actor Brandt Osborn, is charged with being an accessory to the crime. Both have pleaded not guilty.

“The defense is trying to prove that the girls had their own drugs on them and that it was their own fault,” Cilliers said on “Banfield.” “To me, that doesn’t make sense. … These guys promised to take them to the after party, and instead, they went to Pearce’s apartment. They never made it out of the apartment.”

During opening arguments in an L.A. courtroom Jan. 9, prosecutors accused Pearce of giving the women a lethal mix of drugs, including cocaine and fentanyl and, in Giles’ case, the date-rape drug GHB, before dropping the women off, barely alive, with Osborn at separate L.A. hospitals, People reported.
