3 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT SJ TUCKER FULL
However Judge Graham Turnbull said when an accused person will be sentenced to full time custodial prison bail 'must be' refused. He had previously been sentenced to a five year and nine months maximum sentence with a non parole period of three years and eight months - before his conviction was thrown out on appeal. She said his passport has been forfeited since that date and he had been required to live with his wife. 'He has been on bail since Novemand there hasn't been a single breach.' That aspect of sentencing has in effect been satisfied. 'Mr Hayne has served nine months and nine days he has suffered the humiliation that that entails. 'While further imprisonment is likely it is not necessarily inevitable,' Ms Cunneen argued. Hayne's barrister Margaret Cunneen SC tendered an affidavit from Ms Bonnici.Įarlier in the hearing, Mr Sfinas made an application to detain Hayne, which the star's lawyer opposed. Ms Bonnici said her eldest child would have to change schools to a regional location should Hayne be locked up. Looking blank-faced, she told him she had no support in Sydney. Mr Sfinas asked Ms Bonnici about what family support she would have with Hayne in jail. Ms Cunneen argued he should be there to protect his family ‘while the mob dies down and they move to the country and his children prepare.’ 'Ms Bonnici and her family are referred to in vicious terms in online media … there is a toxic flavour.’ Ms Cunneen said: ‘There is also intense media interest in this family even without Mr Hayne’s presence. She said that she may move to a country location if he is sentenced to full-time custody.
Judge Turnbull asked Ms Bonnici if her children had been photographed by media without her consent this week and she agreed. She said they were aged six, three and one.Īsked if they were aware of being photographed, Ms Bonnici said her oldest child was 'beside herself this morning'. Ms Bonnici put her head on one hand as she sat in the witness box. Jarryd Hayne and wife Amellia Bonnici arrive at the NSW District Court where a judge heard an application from the Crown to jail the disgraced footy star, after he was found guilty of rape His wife's tears are unlikely to sway Judge Turnbull from sending Hayne to prison, with the judge telling the court that bail 'must' be refused when an accused person is due to be sentenced to full-time custody. Hayne has been out on bail since he was found guilty of two counts of rape by a jury on Tuesday. The court heard Hayne had been attacked in a prison yard previously, including by an inmate who had thrown fruit at him. Ms Cunneen said Hayne ‘would be a target in the general prison population’ and Hayne ‘would be regarded as a sex offender’ in prison. When asked for the reasons why her husband should not be jailed, Ms Bonnici said: 'I can't even put that into words.' A statement by her was filed to the court by Hayne's lawyer, Margaret Cunneen SC. She said Hayne's family had given her minimal support but agreed she had a strong relationship with his mother Jodie.
Questioned by Crown prosecutor John Sfinas about family support, she said Haynes family didn't live in Sydney but on the Central Coast - but that they were less supportive than her own family. She told the court that Hayne's family had not been around to help with the practicalities of looking after her and the star's three children.
Ms Bonnici told the court that she and Hayne were married in 2021 and broke down when she was asked if they had three children. 'Yes we do,' she said, sobbing. When he decided to grant Hayne a bail extension, Judge Turnbull said there were particular 'health conditions' Ms Bonnici was facing in the present time. Ms Bonnici broke down and wept as she addressed the court earlier, with it also revealed in court that Hayne and his wife have been bombarded with threatening messages, including to her personal Facebook page. Hayne's shock win of five extra weeks comes after a manager from Parklea Correctional Centre, Geraint Roberts, told the court that Hayne would likely be classified as a non-association inmate if he was locked up today - which meant being in maximum security. Ms Bonnici and Hayne were escorted into the Downing Centre court complex by several NSW Police officers
