Fingers crossed for Marley - And it worked!

Sentence about to be handed down according to https://twitter.com/KaitlynPST

They have used the Newman case as comparison. It reads like they don't believe it was a revenge style attack like Newman was so hopefully any penalty will be less than what Newman got.

This sounds promising....

LIVE - Judge Wager to Williams - "I find you were physically assaulted but you did not sustain significant bodily harm"

[taff wa]

Trying nit to get hopes up

Judge Wager says she accepts Williams was "the victim of unprovoked verbal abuse and low level physical violence" #perthnews #aflnews

[GoWoodsmen]

Strikes me as "I accept part of your story ... " but.... it's the but that worries me. Basically comes down to will it be suspended given everything he has done in the community or will they make an example of him as a stand against alcohol fueled violence..

[Steve86]

surely he should get credit in how he has handled him self after the event. He is much more use to the community out of jail then in it.

[taff wa]

Judge says no premeditation or self defence.

[Steve86]

just said it was not premeditated.. thats good news for him

[GoWoodsmen]

"was no in self-defence"
"was not pre-meditated" ...

I've got no idea where this is going. Fair to say if he does get jail it's not going to be lengthy - I think.

[MJ23]

Marley told by Judge what occurred was not self defence.....
Oh shit

Accepts though not premeditated " but you shouldn't have punched him like you did "

[EBB]

Harsh words need to be given for a light sentence.

[paulie]

Crikey she is dragging it out going to have to reach for a drink soon to steady the nerves straight bourbon might be the go

[Johnno75]

Not long now....

LIVE - MARLEY WILLIAMS - sentencing is just minutes away

[MJ23]

Acknowledged Marley has worked hard to address some of the issues that caused him to go off the rails.
