Witness 'ruined my life' says Cashman
Justice Yip: “We are conscious he was quite quietly spoken. I’ve said to keep his voice up, there’s no speaking too loudly in court. If anyone is struggling to hear, give me an indication.”
Mr Cooper asks about the witness who cannot be named for legal reasons, who Cashman has accepted sleeping with.
JC: “Did you know she was pregnant?
TC: “No, I didn’t know.
JC: “Did you know one way or the other whether that child was yours.
TC: “No, I didn’t know.”
Cashman says he became engaged to his partner Kayleeanne Sweeney in 2015.
Mr Cooper asks: “You heard the evidence as far as [witness name] was concerned. She said this. ‘I’m going to ruin you like you ruined my whole life’. She agreed that was her view. She went on to say ‘he had ruined my life, finished my life, he head *advertiser censored**ed me’. She was referring to her relationship with you. When she said I’m going to ruin you, were you surprised to hear her express herself in that way?”
Cashman replies: “Everything she’s said, is what she’s done to me. She’s ruined my life. She’s ruined my partner’s life, she’s ruined my kid’s life. What she said to her mate she had done to me. My life’s been ruined. What she’s saying is a lie. She’s ruined my life. That’s the only thing I can say.”
