Excerpt:
A Winnipeg man who allegedly assaulted his wife in front of police and told an officer he could do what he wants with "his property" is now fighting a bail order banning him from having any contact with the woman.
"Even if her wish was to have contact with (the accused), the Crown would be strongly opposed to any variation of the bail," Crown attorney Vuk Mitrovic told court Wednesday.
In the presence of police, the accused "was undeterred in committing an assault on his wife," Mitrovic said. "The attitude he demonstrated ... should cause the court grave concern about the safety and protection of the public."
