Brett Stewart found not guilty of sexual assault

[Dutchy]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

FMD next you will be telling me that someones Mum is a good alibi.

Just about as good as the father giving evidence.

That's 15 - 0 and Dutchy's serve right there.

buy some soap on a rope snake... paddy power has him 1.08 to do time

You sure ? Way I read it was they were Stewarts words to the father

They were the father's version of the words he says Stewart said to him.

Lets think for a second , if this was your daughter how would you react?

Delusion is common status quo of this forum

 

[Noa]

Actually thats a good question.

Why is there no report of a scuffle between the pair. Surely a father on the scene of his daughters "rape" would be in the redzone.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

That may just be the ballgame right there.
Stewart should hire you to represent him, or his representation should at least ask a similar question.
"Given the allegations you have leveled against Mr Stewart, and the fact you have rated him an '8 out of 10' for intoxication, did you not feel that, as a father, you had a fundamental privilege to detain Mr Stewart until police arrived?, also, would you have not have been so angry at the moment of the alleged offence that you would have struggled to contain yourself from physically confronting a man you have stated in this court to be too drunk to hurt yourself?"

I don't have every bit of information obviously (and we have to remember unless there has been a ruling to the contrary some of the evidence has been suppressed and cannot be mentioned) but on what has been released and the cash that Manly will throw at this. It is perhaps likely he will be found not guilty. It is difficult to prosecute a "he said she said" type of case.

Some of you people have no idea though. The criminal process is slow to get it right. I know that Manly fans are invested in this trial but lets not get silly.

This will be lucky to get to trial by November. The DPP has to present it's indictment and it needs to be listed.

It was always going to get past committal. It's basically a rubber stamping committee these days. A case needs to be ridiculously weak to not get past committal. And Stewart's sh*tty "I don't remember" defence was always going to be laughed out of Mags. Different story come trial time.

Manly shouldn't be paying a cent towards Stewart's defence

if they are then it should be included in their cap

Ummmmmmm, why not?
They are his employer, they are entitled to do so.
It is a common practice these days mate, I've got the same thing, if I go out, get sh*tfaced and plow through someones front fence in a car, the company I work for gives me legal representation, they may also be a bit pissed off at me for doing it but that's the way it goes (btw, drink driving sh*ts me and I don't condone it), Stewart might be on a similar wicket.
A co-worker actually did get pissed and plow through a fence, the company gave him the legal firepower necessary, he went from looking down the barrel of long term licence loss, no insurance payout on his car and replacement costs of a large section of fence to basically getting off, no licence loss, barristers etc found protocol had been broken with his toxicology results, insurance paid out, fence paid for, apology from police.
Money talks, bullsh*t walks, Manly know this and will protect their investment.

 

[El Diablo]

why compare this to a workplace?

if they want to pay then that is fine but it must be counted in the cap

What does Mr Stewart do for a living?

 

[El Diablo]

is that a serious question :?

do workplaces have a salary cap? nope

 

[Brutus]

Bye bye Brett.

Considering less than half reported incidents make it to trial ,and less than 10% of those get a conviction-I would say your guy is pretty safe.But I would hardly say that a lack of conviction would mean innocence in the true sense of the word.(given the appallingly low rates of conviction for such offences.)

Your kidding right?
Maybe if the offence is car stealing.Not sexual assault.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

I hope he goes to jail.

 

[Fibroman]

He will beat it.

 

[Special K]

It is sickening how he will get a standing ovation at Manly even if he gets done for this.
