Background
Greymouth Star story here regarding his latest assault
From NZ Lawyer August 2nd 2006
The bad blood that led to a 20-year-old West Coaster smashing a wine bottle over another man's head at a party in Blackball has now resulted in a six-month jail sentence. Judge Michael Crosbie noted that it was Kyle Stephen Ord's fifth conviction for violence in less than three years. He also said the attack happened only days after Ord had been released on supervision for another assault and had received a final warning from a judge. Ord had pleaded not guilty at a fixture heard before Judge Crosbie in Greymouth.

The drainlayer had denied a charge of assaulting a man with a weapon - a wine bottle. His partner left the court in tears as he was led away to the cells. Defence counsel Richard Bodle said Ord had now formed a stable relationship with her, and she was eight weeks pregnant. He said Ord now had a job, had completed his supervision and done a Stopping Violence programme. He had not drunk alcohol since the assault and was turning his life around. "It's clear there was a history between the two men," said Mr Bodle. "It is Mr Ord's primary wish to put that behind him and make amends with the victim." It was unlikely the two men would meet again, since Ord now lived in Christchurch.

Judge Crosbie heard about the bad blood between them at the hearing in Greymouth, but said that arose a long time before the assault. He said Ord saw the man at a small party at a house on October 8 and smashed the bottle over his head as he returned from the toilet. There were bruises, grazing, and cuts needing stitches. The legacy of the assault had a profound effect on the victim. He said a probation officer's recommendation for a community based sentence was unrealistic, and so was a fine. Ord already had $12,000 in outstanding fines. "This an offence categorised as serious violence, and you have demonstrated a propensity to commit violent offending." He jailed Ord to denounce his conduct and deter him from future offending, but he gave him leave to apply for home detention.
