Take a look at what's been happening in Norwich Crown Court this week.
Andrew Fearnley
Fearnley,54, of Drudge Road, Gorleston, permanently scarred his partner's face in a knife attack, a year after he tried to strangle her, Norwich Crown Court heard last week.
Fearnley's on/off partner had been on a hen night and had been "merry" before going back to Fearnley's address in Gorleston.
Jude Durr, prosecuting, said things "got heated" and she left to go to her mother's address nearby after she had been pushed and struck in the face by Fearnley.
She thought she had been punched but Fearnley had slashed her in the face with a knife resulting in serious injury to her nose.
The victim was left with a permanent scar.

Police were quickly on scene after officers were dispatched following an earlier call from Fearnley describing how the victim had smashed a window at his property.
Fearnley appeared in court for sentencing on Monday after previously admitting wounding with intent following the incident on June 29.
The court heard the slashing came a year after Fearnley was sentenced for a battery against the same victim who had been strangled until she blacked out.
It was one of Fearnley's 17 previous convictions for 25 offences, which also included two previous "revenge" arsons.
Imposing an extended sentence of five years and 10 months custody and four years on licence, Judge Andrew Shaw assessed Fearnley as being a dangerous offender who was a high risk of causing serious harm to the public.
Fearnley was also made the subject of an indefinite restraining order.
