Sam Wood suffers blow in bid to suppress court documents from public

His lawyers sought a non-publication order at Brisbane Supreme Court over domestic violence accusations. Justice Patrick McCafferty only temporarily suppressed names, addresses and identifying details in the documents, not the full files. Wood faces charges including assault occasioning bodily harm and strangulation, which he denies. His bail application is due to be heard next Friday.
