Former Australia cricket star Michael Slater handed four-year jail sentence for domestic violence – but will walk free

Charges included allegations of assault, strangulation, burglary and stalking in relation to multiple incidents against a woman.
Slater was handed a four-year prison sentence as a result, but his term has been partly suspended.
The former cricket player has already served more than 12 months in custody after being refused bail last year.
He will therefore now walk free despite the charges.
During the sentencing on Tuesday, judge Glen Cash told Slater: “It’s obvious that you are an alcoholic.
“Your rehabilitation will not be easy, alcoholism is part of your make-up.”
Back in 2022, Slater was sentenced to a non-custodial, two-year community corrections order after pleading guilty to charges including common assault and attempted stalking.
