AI-generated summary
Steven Judge, aged 24, died from stab wounds to the chest inflicted by Anthony Brown during a violent altercation at One Tree Hill Lookout on 15 March 2019. The assault was pre-planned by Steven's brother Benjamin Judge, friend Jara Dix, and others to punish Anthony Brown for his perceived treatment of family member Starr Dix. Anthony Brown was attacked with a sledgehammer and sustained serious head injuries while being restrained in a chokehold. He stabbed Steven in self-defence while being overwhelmed by multiple assailants. Anthony was never charged due to his valid lawful self-defence claim. The death was a direct result of the planned violent assault, with Anthony's actions constituting a lawful defensive response to an unlawful and dangerous attack. No clinical lessons or medical errors were identified in this coronial finding.
