Relationship Between Guess and Gill
Guess was quickly attracted to Gill, who was a man 10 years younger than she. She would stare at him, and according to court clerk Emma Hyde, "She would flip her hair and look seductive". Later Gill approached Guess at McDonalds and told her he was innocent of the charges. Sometime later the two started to flirt outside the court room. Gill pursued the relationship, and Gill and Guess had intimate conversation and kissed in Stanley Park. The relationship became sexual. Guess said, "My attraction to him was a complete intoxication...I got to the point where I couldn't see straight. It just became an obsession."
Court officers informed the judge of the inappropriate behaviour, and the Honorable Judge Braidwood warned Peter Gill about his behaviour, but he never talked to Gillian Guess. The relationship continued, and when Gillian Guess asked Peter Gill if she should find a way to get off the jury, he told her to stay. He also told her to convict two of his co-defendants, but not him.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship, guess and/or gill:
“Every relationship that does not raise us up pulls us down, and vice versa; this is why men usually sink down somewhat when they take wives while women are usually somewhat raised up. Overly spiritual men require marriage every bit as much as they resist it as bitter medicine.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I guess you know, Bob, that if I see you again, I’m just going to start shooting and figure it’s self-defense.”
—David Webb Peoples, screenwriter. Little Bill Daggett (Gene Hackman)
“Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.”
—Eric Gill (1882–1940)
