"Tamara Marie Dimer was wrongly convicted on January 21, 2019 intent to maim, disfigure, disable or do some grievous bodily harm to Alimamy Koroma on 2018 in Manning, Western Australia, Australia. Tara Dimer pled guilty while reserving the right to appeal, and was sentenced on May 2, 2019 to 6 years in prison. Dimmer appealed.
