A man who stabbed his former partner and struck her with a baseball bat was acting in "excessive self-defence", a judge has found.
The 38-year-old, who has not been named to protect the victim's identity, pleaded guilty to common assault and recklessly inflicting grievous bodily harm (family violence).
On Wednesday, July 22, he was sentenced in the ACT Supreme Court to two years and six months in jail, with a non-parole period of 16 months that will expire in January 2027.
