Jarryd Hayne accused of rape

[T-Boon]

Dare I ask if you have facts to back up this bold, sweeping statement or is it from the same bucket with which you pull your 'great' ideas?

Haha, same bucket.

But I think something like this:
Firstly the applicants own lawyer is going to do an accused bankruptcy search or google their celebrity status, if thats no good they've got to have the client sign something that will explain how the lawyer is getting paid.
Then they are going to have an interview and have to explain: "yep revenge, vindication... beautiful. But see this form here, there is just no column for that stuff".
Go try find one reference to sense of vindication in the girls statement that the newspapers have published. If vindication is literally all you want (as old mate said) then they degrade you by forcing you to make something up in the damages column. The system is that cruel the documents virtually say we don't care about your sense of revenge or vindication.
This is all before you've left your own lawyers office.
Then you find out before you get to trial you have to sit through numerous attempts to settle the dispute for cash and no admissions which 90%? do. Then when it does not settle you are going to be there when the judge literally yells at the lawyers for not being able to settle it for cash and you are cluttering the system for some f'ed up reason (the parties principles "oh god").

All of the above is just from my John Grisham library. He is the best.

Oh sweet baby jaysus. Seek help

You are cordially invited to go f**k yourself.

I don't usually resort to insults so you're quite welcome to feel privileged.

that could be possible if you could post a source

Looking more and more like a desperate cash grab as time goes on. The timing would suggest she's trying to play into the public firestorm surrounding the #metoo thing

She reported this last year, before the whole #metoo thing began. It’s only just now coming to light

I was thinking more LA Law.

I haven't followed this that closely, but a mate suggested to me that Hayne had admitted they had consensual sex?
If so, his case is pretty much shot to bits because of her impaired state and multiple witnesses seemingly available to speak to that state, she can't give informed consent. So if he had sex with her in a heavily impaired state, by the letter of the law, he'll be found guilty

But i could have been lead wrong on this, has Hayne admitted to having sex with her?

If thats the criminal law now and crazy as it sounds it could be now, then it has evolved from the last one of these we saw in the NRL which was Laffranchi.

But then that can't be the criminal law because the police would have charged him. Because as you say they could just prove she was badly drunk fairly easily. It is all weird.

Nah, just Ted 2 where they watch LA Law.

If only you could channel your creativity to the betterment of mankind, for example affordable housing in the developing world.

 

[ed-grimley]

Surely most of us want this to be bullshit . . . this is not the way we want Jarryd's 'career' ruined

I think it's what most want from what I've seen on this forum.

Wasn't the laffranchi accuser saying she was blind drunk unable to give consent, but footage showed her walking with him without stumbling or assistance. Correct if i am wrong I may be mixed up with another case.

These consent laws are a massive can of worms, many people men and women pursue sex while intoxicated, I can see the laws are to stop someone taking advantage of a passed out drunk person but it is very open for next morning regrets turning into accusations.

That being said doesn't Hayne claim to be deeply devoted to his religion? If so why is he sleeping around and having children to unmarried women

I think I read somewhere that he also claims to be a human being.

 

[Fangs]

yes, it would make complete sense to shut the 49ers down because of these allegations about a past player

I think he meant Parramatta. They're a real joke and to be frank, the NRL would be better off without them.

 

[Cherry_poppins]

I know to whom you are referring, obviously your sarcasm meter must be on the blink

OK, well then lets shut down the Eels because of what may. or may not have happened in America 2 years ago,

does that make more sense ?

As much sense as it makes to shut down any other Sydney club for zero reason really

I guess you didn't notice my initial sarcasm either

Priests f**k kids. What's your point?

 

[retch]

The Hayne Plane is in Tel Aviv...

Looks like he might be signing up to play full back for Jerusalem.

 

[King hit]

Does anyone remember the Brett Stewart incident of 2009? This is exactly what this reminds me off.

It's only been referenced repeatedly in this thread.

 

[El Diablo]

except Stewart was charged and Hayne wasn't

not really similar at all

Hayne and Bill Shorten cases are pretty much the same

 

[POPEYE]

I some how dont think this is over just yet.

You reckon proof is not a necessary ingredient in this pudding

I hate the prick, and have a genuine hope he gets syphilis, but... you're right, this isn't the way to go out (unless he is guilty then hang the merkin)
