Former Australia player Slater collapses after being refused bail in domestic violence case

Former Test cricketer Michael Slater reportedly collapsed in an Australian court on Tuesday after being refused bail on more than a dozen charges, including some relating to stalking. The television commentator and former batsman is accused of domestic violence offences as well as common assault and unlawful stalking. Among the allegations against him, police said Slater sent unwanted text messages and made intimidating phone calls over the last six months. The court heard Slater has mental health conditions that can result in “impulsive and reckless” behaviour, ABC News reported.
