A TRAVELLING carnival worker who pushed over his heavily intoxicated 65-year-old roommate, causing him to hit his head and be taken to hospital where he died 10 days later has avoided a jail term after prosecutors accepted he was not responsible for the man's death.
Robert Raymond Dennehy, now 51, spent nearly a year behind bars and another year subject to strict bail conditions after he was charged with the one-punch law of assault causing death and manslaughter over the death of Tony Williams in Kurri Kurri on October 6, 2021.
