Beetroot and pineapple might get pulled out to ensure the meat remains intact as proof of the charge. Makes for a lot of work in preparing the brief but covers all possibilities, makes the defence earn their keep and gets a conviction.skeptic wrote: ↑Sat 15 Jan 2022 6:36pmHmmm… you may have a point.Trev from the Bush wrote: ↑Sat 15 Jan 2022 6:30pm The 88 charges would amount to what is known in Police and legal circles as a hamburger with the lot.
There’s every possibility that should the matter progress to a contest summary, a number of charges may be struck out

Between early 2020 and December last year, the court heard, Lovett assaulted the woman in her home on several occasions, including two attacks where he knocked her out, once by punching and kicking the woman when she was in the shower, and the other by choking her and pushing her over.
The former footballer punched the victim and kicked her while she lay in the foetal position, before she lost consciousness.
On June 8 last year, Lovett became angry and aggressive when he couldn’t unlock the woman’s phone and struck her to the face. He then put his hands around the woman’s neck and choked her, and pushed her towards the bath. She hit her head and lost consciousness.
When she came to, the woman went to the kitchen and armed herself with a knife. In the kitchen, the court heard, Lovett lunged for the woman and grabbed her arm and the knife broke the skin on Lovett’s chest.
When the woman left the house and drove away, Lovett chased the car along the street.
“She believed that the accused was trying to kill her,” Mr Sprague told magistrate Jason Ong.
Lovett caused her “nothing but torture and heartache”, she said, and left her with nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety and the need to look “over my shoulder”. She said she considered suicide at the time, and although determined to be positive, recalled sadness and lost self-confidence that left her unable to work.
“The emotional trauma far outlives any physical injury,” she said.
Mr Sprague said Lovett’s other assaults included him smashing the woman’s phone, punching her and throwing beer on her over a four-week period in 2020.
After an argument in January last year he sent her the message: “I hope you, your mum and your nan pass away, you c---.” The woman’s grandmother was ill at the time.
In April last year, he spat in the woman’s face, poured beer over her and kicked her while she was on the floor. He again spat at her when drunk after the Essendon-Collingwood game on Anzac Day.
Across the 22 months, Lovett also provoked arguments, blamed the woman for his anger, threatened to have bikies “run through” her house and regularly went through her phone.

at least he is not referred to as former St Kilda recruit.
Totally agree saynta. With some of the incredibly horrific domestic violence murders of recent I find it hard that this sentence was the best the judge could hand down.saynta wrote: ↑Thu 17 Mar 2022 1:06pm The prick will spend the next 8 months behind bars. Good start, but not nearly long enough.
