A woman's knife injury was a "very unfortunate, but serious accident" rather than an attempt by her husband to murder her, a defence barrister has argued.
Prosecutor Sam McLaughlin and defence barrister Jack Pappas made their closing submissions on Wednesday, June 24, in the ACT Supreme Court jury trial.
The man, who has not been named to protect the identity of the alleged victim, had pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and property damage, as well as alternative charges that include making a threat to kill and intentionally inflicting grievous bodily harm.
