A mother accused of stabbing her private school graduate son has scored a minor legal victory at her first court appearance since making bail.
Samantha Palmer allegedly attacked her son, Hugo Ball, 22, with a 12-inch knife at the family s $3.1million mansion in Sydney s Bellevue Hill at 1.30am on November 21.
Ball had just arrived home at the family s sprawling Drumalbyn Road home about 1.30am on Saturday, November 21, and she was angry he allegedly broke curfew.
Palmer, 55, faced Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday charged with domestic violence wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
