Sam Wood's lawyer to request bail at Queensland Supreme Court hearing
Sam Wood's lawyer is set to request bail at a Queensland Supreme Court hearing scheduled for November fourth, 2026, arguing that alleged drug and alcohol use and the couple's planned separation reduce the risk of release. Wood currently faces assault and strangulation charges after an alleged attack on his wife in Noosa; friends of his wife say she tried to leave the marriage before his arrest, and an Instagram video of the couple has resurfaced, drawing public attention. His barrister previously argued that the risk of release is low and asked for a mental-health assessment.
