Magistrate Ian Watkins noted Heather had served 123 days in custody since his arrest, which he said was long enough.

"I accept that you were not the one who caused the significant injuries to Mr Jarvis," he said.

Mr Watkins said the injuries could have been far worse.

Armstrong will return to court on August 24.
