THE girlfriend of convicted cop murderer Michael Allan Jacobs and her son have pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice during the investigation into the death of Senior Constable David Rixon.
Last month, Jacobs, 49, became the first person in NSW to receive a mandatory life sentence for murdering a police officer.
A jury took less than an hour to find Jacobs guilty of murdering Sen Const Rixon after he was pulled over for a random breath test at West Tamworth on March 2 last year.
Jacobs' girlfriend, Sharon Strudwick, 48, and her son James Strudwick, 23, were due to stand trial in the District Court in Tamworth on Monday charged with perverting the court of justice during the police investigation into Sen Const Rixon's murder.
The court previously heard Strudwick told her son to flush firearm cartridges down the toilet after Jacobs' arrest, which he did.
They both pleaded guilty to one count of perverting the course of justice on Monday.
Jacobs shot Sen Const Rixon through the chest without warning before screaming, "Die, I'm sorry. Sorry sir, sorry."
Sen Const Rixon returned fire, hitting Jacobs in the leg, abdomen and shoulder.
Sen Const Rixon died at the scene while Jacobs later underwent life-saving surgery.
He consistently denied murdering the officer and instead attempted to pin the blame on his drug dealer.
However, secretly recorded conversations between Jacobs and Sharon Strudwick were played during Jacobs' trial in which he told her, "I wish I hadn't have had the gun, wish I hadn't have got the s**ts that morning."
"Why didn't you run?" Strudwick said, before saying, "Why'd he shoot ya for the idiot?"
Jacobs later told her, "You're the keeper of my heart and my dreams".
Strudwick will face a sentence hearing next April, while her son will return to court later this month.
