Blake Ferguson found guilty of indecent assault

[Walt Flanigan]

He wasn't charged with sexual assualt.

Well whatever the f**k he was charged with, indecent assault, if he pleads guilty its likely front page news, and the backlash would still be huge. IF he plead guilty it would dog him for the rest of his career, whatever career he had left.

That and his access to an expenve legal team makes me think he would fight the case whether he actually did it or not.

A defence lawyers job is to get you off, they don't care if you actually are innocent or not.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Well I believe rape is considered sexual assualt so it does matter.

:roll:

I never said it didn't matter, and no one mentioned rape lol. I accidently wrote sexual instead of indecent, im not trying to make him out as a rapist.

 

[Perth Red]

An indecent assault conviction will see the end of his NRL career, of course he is going to fight it!

 

[Fire]

He'll be a Dragon by July next year. They seem to be stockpiling dickheads.

Yes please. I'd take him in a heart-beat.

 

[Fire]

end of the day it's who is credible?

Fergo and Dugan have no credibility

Nope, you're wrong on that one Kmav.

It's whoever has the most money to get better legal representation.

I don't know the woman's financial situation is (probably not too good drinking in a dive like 2230), so I hazard to guess Fergo has the upper hand here.

Unless the video footage is absolutely stone dead clear he will be fine. Hardest type of crime to prove. If the video evidence shows nothing its his word against hers and it doesnt really matter if fergo is a massive drop kick with no credibility what matters is the difficulty in convicting beyond a reasonable doubt in a dispute where the only evidence is a person's word.

Fergo saying he didn't do it is a pretty reasonable doubt without other evidence to contradict it.

Its not a civil case.



Its the DPP ( or a police prosecutor) Vs Ferguson.


The Womans financial situation has got nothing to do with it.

He was sitting at a table with a few others, maybe someone else saw it. Maybe Dugan??

LOL do you understand the legal system ?

You see in a criminal case there is the prosecution and the defendant.

Govt versus Fergos legal team.

Lol 1 or 2 on fergo vs the whole Govt dept resources available.

most assaults, murders and crimes have no video footage.

thanks scoop

 

[Pete Cash]

There is often physical evidence. What Blake's expensive skilled legal team will be arguing is no crime took place. A little different to a murder when there is a f**king body you drooling simpleton.

Many prosecution do not have physical evidence and is based on peoples testimony.:crazy:

 

[Pete Cash]

Name a few cases. Obviously witness testimony but you understand cases like this nature are very difficult to prove. I don't know what evidence there is but if its Blakes word versus hers he will get off. You do understand this right.

 

[Pete Cash]

Anyways kmav I wouldn't get my hopes up too much if I were you.the ddp hasn't moved it to the district court and the vast majority of these matters at local court level get dealt with a good behaviour bond if a conviction is recorded.

 

[Spot On]

KaveMan unleashing his intellect again. It would be akin to a bloke suffering from impotence.

 

[Pete Cash]

He needs to have a nap.

That's not going to fix it.
