Brett Stewart found not guilty of sexual assault

[m0nty]

Thank god the Telly reported on the vital issue of fruit juice.

 

[ozbash]

Clive Steirn, SC, for Stewart, told the magistrate the footballer was a diabetic and may need to leave the hearing at some stage to have some fruit juice.

ah right, yep, he must be a diabetic.

no wonder he alledgedly assaulted her..

aquit him now, Manly need him...

To be fair, the SMH reported the same thing.

With the details of the evidence being supressed, the fruit juice was probably the only part of court proceedings they were permitted to reveal.

What is your problem?

They arent using Diabetes as an excuse for sexual assault, idiot.

lol! telegraph are worse then Channel 9/Rabbits with the amount of crap they went on about Stewart being a diabetic....

It will be interesting to see what happens, anyone have any idea how long this kinf of case might go on for? I'm interested to see what the NRL will do if he is guilty? give him a 12 month or longer suspension like bird? i guess it depends how much jail time that stewart gets if he is found guilty as well.

If he is guilty an NRL ban is the least of his worries.

are you sure about that dutchy, not even mitigating circumstances ?

what better way to plant a 'reason' seed in a judge/jurys head than to keep breaking for orange drinks.. who knows what may happen if he dont get his fix, the court stenographer could be in danger of a ravishing :lol:

never seen him wander off at brooky for a slurp of orange drink..

This is a committal hearing, as far as im aware its for the judge to decide if there is enough evidence for him to be tried. So if te judge rules there is enough evidence for conviction & the case goes to trial we are in for a long ride. I could be wrong, im sure there are more learned members in the ways of the law.

If it does go to trial I wonder what manly will do with him, stand him down till the end of his trial? It could be another year or two before it runs through the courts.

I am a diabetic......I don't do juice

Wheres a picture of straw clutching when you need one.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Ozbash is correct. The effects of alcohol on a diabetic is definitely pushing towards a diminished responsibility defence angle. This day and age with the social justice thing in place that could work.

IF that is their defence, it MIGHT imply that he went the nasty and then he COULD be in the sh*t in a big way.

Ok thanks, so this hearing could go for a couple weeks i'm assuming? if there is enough evidence for this case to go to court then a year or so?

If there is enough evidence for this to go to court does anyone think the club would stand Stewart down pending the outcome of the case?

Perhaps the reason Stweart pushed his tongue into that girl's mouth was that she had just had a strawberry daiquiri and Stewart was jonesing for a sugar fix.

I wonder if anone else saw on daily Telegraph this morning they posted in the heading of the article stating this girl had 3 physcotic episodes prior to this B Stewart incident, however i could not open the article & then they changed it to something with less detail.

Probably due to the suppression order on the evidence given i guess.....silly DT haha

 

[ozbash]

She's mad, Brett should walk.

Everyone knows you cant rape/molest/assault mad females.

He's inocent I tell ya..

 

[^_^]

yeah so if Stewart was drunk then he must be guilty and he should go to jail, everyone knows that when your drunk you do bad things.....lol so what the girls a physco doesnt mean the case is closed

 

[ozbash]

so what the girls a physco doesnt mean the case is closed

oh, ok.

maybe she had her top button undone and in his diabetic coma, he was feeling provoked ?

thats more like it...

 

[^_^]

Ozbash wtf are you going on about...just because she is a nutcase doesnt prove his innocence....its like you just want the guy to be found guilty. Maybe they were f**king each other, maybe he stakled her over a few weeks and found out when she was most vulnerable, maybe she is lying when she says she only went into that stairwell to look at his stamp collection.... lol, who the f**k knows, let the courts decide champ
