I had to smile - Olivia Hill-Douglas of Melbourne's Age newspaper, was reporting the interaction between a crim's estranged wife and his current lover during a pre-sentence hearing at Melbourne's County Court. She added her own touch, describing the women's outfits, but for some unknown reason decided not to outline what the men were wearing. I guess there may be some relevance between what they were wearing and their state of mind... "Crime family matriarch Judy Moran, the wife and mother of two of Williams's victims, was sitting in the front row of the Victorian Supreme Court. Mrs Moran walked into court shortly before the hearing started, wearing a long black frock with the unmistakeable pleats of an Issey Miyake design. Roberta Williams' apparent nemesis was dressed in a grey strapless pencil dress over a white long-sleeved shirt. She was wearing scarlet high-heels. A slimline Williams sat quietly during the hearing, dressed in a navy suit, blue shirt and red tie. Roberta, dressed in jeans, a blue hoodie and a yellow beanie, blamed the altercation on the woman, saying it wouldn't have happened had she not gone near the Williams' daughter. "Don't go near my daughter you trashy piece of f***ing carnage," she told the woman after the court had been adjourned. Police held the woman back in the court until Roberta had left." Anyway, I thought it was mildly amusing for a Friday arvo break.
