Allegations:

My client entered his girlfriend’s bedroom (in his house) and found her in bed with his friend and roommate. He became enraged and attacked both of them by throwing his girlfriend and repeatedly punching his friend and trying to choke him. He then smashed his friend’s laptop computer and struck him by throwing glass mugs at him. He then produced a knife and threatened to kill him. The police attended and found some marijuana in my client’s room. He was on bail for allegedly stabbing another person at the time of this incident.

Result:

On the day of trial, none of the witnesses appeared, therefore the Crown entered a Stay of Proceedings in relation to all charges against my client. No criminal convictions.
