I do not know the 'details' of the charges against him [in this particular incident], but as a general rule,
things like this should NEVER go to court.

IMO, there should never have been any charges brought against him, by the police.

i.e.
Though [i know] present laws do not support such a view,
imo, those who do a 'home invasion' should lose all legal protection under our laws.

Batterham should be given the Charlie Bronson medal for taking out the garbage.

'Home invader' Ricky Slater-Dickson had conviction for raping teenage girl

As he sexually assaulted the teenager, he threatened to stab her if she didn't shut up.

The man allegedly murdered by a resident after being found inside a Newcastle house had previously been convicted for raping a teenage girl after entering her home late at night

The rape followed years of other offending, with Slater-Dickson's lengthy criminal history, tendered in court, detailing convictions for drugs, assault, theft and driving offences.

On a night in June 2007, a teenage girl had been expecting her ex-boyfriend to visit her at her South Tamworth home. But when she answered a knock at the door, she found a pantless Slater-Dickson standing there.

It appears that the police actually did him a favour by charging him with murder.

It seems quite clear that it was not murder, and therefore they knew he'd be found not guilty.

If he had been charged with manslaughter, it might have been a different outcome.

There was also a back-up charge of manslaughter as the Crown argued he acted illegally and went too far. However today a jury found Mr Batterham not guilty of both offences. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-11-20/benjamin-batterham-not-gulty-of-murdering...

Home invader Ricky Slater-Dickson's burglary spree before his death

Detectives investigating the alleged murder of home invader Ricky Slater-Dickson are identifying a significant number of burglaries committed by him in the weeks leading up to his death, including a violent attack on a young woman after she woke to find the suspect in her bedroom.

The terrified 22-year-old woman was repeatedly punched during the home invasion in the inner Newcastle suburb of The Junction just one week before Slater-Dickson lay unresponsive in a neighbouring suburb after allegedly being choked by home owner Ben Batterham after he found the convicted rapist inside his house.
