His lawyer Sharon Ramsden told Central Local Court the woman he allegedly choked had come to his house in Sydney's CBD uninvited.
She said O'Keefe had sustained significant injuries while acting in self-defence and argued he had never been criminally convicted of anything.The police prosecutor said there are photos of the alleged victim's injuries, including significant marks to her face and legs, and that she had to bite O'Keefe to break free.
As O'Keefe was taken away in the back of a police car yesterday he lashed out, screaming expletives at the media.He rolled his eyes and sighed loudly when hearing the case against him.He complained it was an "injustice" when he was refused bail.Despite his significant mental health problems, a magistrate refused his application to be released and found the prosecution case was relatively strong.O'Keefe's lawyer hopes he will be released later so he can go to rehab.
