Cowardly, callous: Six years for teen doctor-killer
Smith had punched the woman in her face several times and stabbed her right eye with a butter knife that penetrated her brain, after smashing a window to get into her home.He fatally kicked her dog and the woman was left with permanent cognitive problems. Since he was jailed in 2017, Smith, 26, has twice been charged over serious assaults of prison officers.Smith yesterday pleaded guilty to three serious assaults of Corrective Services officers at Wolston Correctional Centre on May 2 last year.Brisbane District Court heard Smith became involved in an incident at the Wacol prison when another prisoner became aggressive and began yelling about his meal.Smith yelled at an officer to leave the other prisoner alone and then pushed one officer down stairs and threw multiple punches at three officers, the court was told.He punched one prison officer in his left ear, he hit another in the jaw, knocking him down, and threw punches at a third officer, but did not hit him, the Crown prosecutor told the court.The officer who was hit in the jaw suffered facial and shoulder muscle pain.It took several officers to restrain Smith, the court heard.The prosecutor asked for Smith to be given 12 months’ jail added to his seven-year sentence and his defence counsel asked for a nine-months’ cumulative sentence.In May, last year, Smith was sentenced for the serious assault of another Corrective Services officer, while he was on remand for the serious assault of the elderly woman.A court heard the assault arose from a dispute over whether his prison meal was halal.He was ordered to serve an extra 10 days on his seven-year sentence, for which he must serve 80 per cent, as he was declared a serious violent offender.Smith had been due to be released in December, 2022 and he would have been eligible for parole in July, next year.Judge Tony Moynihan sentenced Smith to 10 months’ jail, to be added onto the seven years and 10 days he already is serving, for the three serious assaults.
