Judge Allen noted Baslangic could not explain why he offended, other than to say he was not in the right state of mind. Baslangic moved to Australia in 2011 and joined Coles in 2014 but he began feeling overwhelmed by his increasing workload and long days, Judge Allen noted. "There is no doubt in my mind the combination of the psychological, mental, emotional, financial and work-related pressures in your life did lead and explain your bizarre conduct," the judge said.
