It's far from perfect. But it's unfair to assume anyone not guilty of a crime could still actually be guilty but that's up to the court's to decide. Let's look at Brett Stewart for example. Is he still a potential rapist? Or do we give him the benfit of the doubt and take the court's word he's not guilty?
Eels Dude is the one person talking sense here.
Your grasp on reality is an indication of the sad state our school system is in Bunniesman.
The school system (the private schools I went to) taught me a healthy respect for the legal system we have in this country. We're incredibly fortunate to have it. And it may seem unfair when you see people get off lightly when you THINK they deserve more, but you sure as hell would want those protections if you ever found yourself accused of something you didn't do.
Assault is not a word you can just throw around. It is something you have to be found guilty of.
Fact: Greg Inglis acknowledged pushing Sally with open hands.
Fact: Sally herself disagreed with much of what the prosecution was pushing.
Fact: Greg Inglis has never been found guilty of any crime, including assault. Assault is not a general word, it is a specific technical word. He did not commit assault.
Fact: Greg Inglis, in the eyes of law, is a fine and upstanding citizen.
Fact: Greg Inglis is an asset to the game on and off the field. I know multiple women who consider him a hero who was treated unfairly by the media and the courts.
Now let's stop talking about Greg Inglis and talk about someone who is actually a criminal who has actually committed terrible crimes. This Metcalf scumbag. It's an embarassment to the league that he could be playing again.
