State argues Phoenix assault case can go ahead for trial
The State believes it has enough evidence against a Phoenix mother and her partner - who are accused of the attempted murder of her daughter - for it to go to trial.
The 26-year-old woman and her 20-year-old partner appeared briefly in the Verulam Magistrate’s Court this morning.
Video footage emerged in March - showing the woman severely assaulting the four-year-old child.
At today's proceedings, the State asked for an adjournment so that they can request a regional court date for the matter.
The court heard that detectives have wrapped up their investigations and prosecutors believe they have a strong case.
