Repeat violent offender Quinton Lambadgee asks if he can 'stay in jail' in hearing ahead of release
A South Australian criminal with "one of the worst" records for violence seen by a Supreme Court judge will be released from prison in two days despite admitting he may not be able to comply with a supervision order. Quinton Lambadgee, who will be released under an interim supervision order, repeatedly asked what would happen if he did not comply with his release conditions and if he could "just stay in jail". The South Australian Supreme Court heard Lambadgee was convicted of the manslaughter of his father in 2007. At the time the court was told Lambadgee fatally stabbed his father, piercing his heart, following a drunken argument.The 45-year-old was also convicted of violent offences in 1995, 1998, 2003, and 2015. The court heard his most recent incarceration was the result of a conviction for aggravated recklessly causing harm in 2022 after an altercation with a store owner in which the man was seriously injured by a knife after Lambadgee stole alcohol from his shop. "In addition to this, Mr Lambadgee has been convicted of assault on no fewer than 14 occasions and assaulting or resisting a police officer on 12 occasions," Justice Sandi McDonald said.
The court also heard Lambadgee had been involved in 10 incidents of violence or abusive behaviour towards correctional staff and other prisoners during his most recent period of incarceration, and had been convicted of breaching bail and good behaviour bonds on numerous occasions.
