Former AFL player Liam Jurrah has pleaded not guilty to seriously harming his cousin.
Dressed in a striped shirt and black pants, the former Melbourne Football Club player told Chief Justice Trevor Riley at a court hearing in Alice Springs that he was pleading not guilty to the charge.
Jurrah could be jailed if found guilty of attacking his cousin Basil Jurrah in March last year at a town camp on the edge of Alice Springs.
On Monday a jury of five men and seven women was empanelled for the trial, expected to last six days.
