FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The final prosecution witnesses will give evidence in Alice Springs over allegations AFL star Liam Jurrah attacked his cousin and other people with a machete at a town camp in March.
The preliminary examination under way will seek to determine whether there is enough evidence for Jurrah, 23, and his two co-accused, Josiah Fry, 21, and Christopher Walker, 23, to face trial on the charges.
Prosecutors told magistrate David Bamber that they expected their final witnesses to give evidence on Wednesday.
Since the hearing began on Monday, the court has heard conflicting accounts of what happened on March 7 this year, when Jurrah allegedly attacked his cousin Basil Jurrah and others with a machete.
One woman he allegedly attacked, Ingrid White, said her injuries were not caused by Jurrah while another prosecution witness, Philomena White, denied Jurrah was holding a machete and said instead it was brandished by Basil Jurrah.
The court also heard from Basil Jurrah, who reiterated claims he had been attacked by Liam Jurrah with a machete, but denied using one of the weapons himself on the night of the altercation at the Little Sisters town camp on the outskirts of Alice Springs.
A longstanding feud between rival families in the outback town of Yuendumu, 300km from Alice Springs, and anger over the death of a man in 2010 in the small community are at the heart of the March incident, the court has heard.
Several witness who have given evidence agreed they saw rival families as “the enemy”.
Jurrah and the other accused have been charged with four counts of aggravated assault, one count of unlawfully causing serious harm, and one count of carrying an offensive weapon at night.
Each day since the hearing began, police have had to intervene to quell shouting matches outside court from various people with links to the proceedings.
