Brodie Dewar: Assault & Manslaughter Charges

0:00A 20-year-old named Brody Jake Door just pleaded guilty to assaulting a guy in Kalamunda right before Christmas last year. He's also facing a manslaughter charge for the death of Tim Pickton, a labor figure in Perth who got hurt in Northbridge back in December and later. Past from a head injury, that Kalamunda fight happened just after midnight on Christmas day outside a hotel. Door knocked a victim out cold, even filmed it while saying something about not hitting on his sister, then got folks to help the dood out. Tim Pickton had ties to labor circles and his brother Chris is a minister in South Australia. The family angle adds weight, but no one's talking much about reactions yet. Folks are just watching the courts. Earlier this week in Armadale Magistrate's Court, Door copped to the lesser assault charge causing bodily harm. Sentencing set for May 6th there, while his manslaughter hearing drops April 29th in Sterling Gardens Magistrate's Court. Two cases, one guy, unfolding fast, stay tuned as these courts drop the hammer.
