The former commando had admitted he told the man at the Woolloomooloo party that he would throw him over the balcony, but denied a charge of common assault.

Heston Russell has been found not guilty of assaulting a man who had accused the former commando of forcing himself on a guest at an inner-Sydney pool party.

“I certainly make a finding they were all drunk. I do make a finding there was pushing and shoving,” she said. that Russell had kissed his friend on the neck, and he told Russell “two or three times” to leave that man alone. Pate said Russell became agitated, threatened to throw him over the balcony and had hit him on the side of his head.The friend kissed by Russell gave evidence he saw an arm “come in front of my face across me”, and looked over to see Pate holding his face. He said the arm had come from his left “and the only person standing on my left-hand side was Heston”.

“There’s a person that sees a punch, there’s a person that feels a punch, there’s a person that sees an arm come across their face,” the prosecutor said.
