'I'm going to rape you': Dutch backpacker faces Surry Hills attacker
Defence barrister Phillip Boulten SC said Mundine had stopped when the woman raised the alarm and the ordeal had been a "relatively short encounter".The court heard Mundine's behaviour may have been triggered by his drug use, which began when he was 10, and he'd taken ice and cannabis the day if the attack.Mr Boulten said Mundine was raised in Waterloo and Redfern against a backdrop of "drug-taking, drug-dealing, lawlessness and dysfunction".That dysfunction had affected his development and he battled the "dual problem of drug use and mental problems", he argued.Mr Boulten urged the court to impose a non-parole period that would give Mundine some hope of getting his life on track, saying: "He's not yet a write-off."Mundine, who is behind bars, will be sentenced next week.
I wonder if this Parasite barrister would be so keen on getting this bit of vermin back on the streets if his own daughter was the victim here.
Personally ANYONE who is capable of committing these sorts of crimes IS a write off.
