Australia’s great Michael Slater, who threatened self-disbursement in court, gets 4 years of jail sentence

Australian cricketer-turn-commentator Michael Slater was sentenced to four years in jail on Tuesday after being convicted for several allegations including domestic violence, but would be allowed to be free immediately after serving more than a year in custody.

The 55 -year -old was accused of more than a dozen crimes, including domestic violence, illegal pursuit, or threatening, intentions at night with intentions, breaking into a habitat, general attack, physical damage, and attacking with knee or knee.

The prosecution told the Maruchidor District Court that alcohol was “a repetitive feature, as its behavior becomes more uncertain.” The report said, “The court heard that Slater threatened self-loss as he warned the victim not to report harassment and felt extremely frightened and tired of Slater’s behavior.”

The identity of the victim was not found in the report. It was only said that she used to meet the Nusa region (Queensland) and was allegedly subject to “attacks, strangles, theft and chase” from the end of 2023.

Judge Glenn Cash described the slater as an alcoholic and warned that her rehabilitation would not be easy. ” “Your rehabilitation won’t be easy – alcohol is part of your makeup,” said Cash.

While the prosecution sought a five -year sentence with parole after three, Slater’s lawyer argued for a short period, stating that the suffering of knee was not of the most serious nature.

He said that Slater was “quiet, attractive and practical” in custody during his 375 days, avoiding alcohol.

He argued that Slater should be sentenced to three years with immediate parole.

Judge Cash showed Slater’s initial guilty petition “cooperation and repentance”.

The former right -handed Australian opener played 74 Tests and 42 Odis between 1993 and 2003.
