News JDB Trial

Was Brett Stewart charged? Also I seem to recall a player being charged and found guilty but being allowed to play (in a grand final win no less) because the sentencing was deferred till after the season, though this may have been because that team was short on outside backs.

Brett Stewart was suspended for 4 games for being intoxicated at the season launch. He came back and played 2 games before suffering a long term injury (I think for the rest of the season). In 2010 he played a few games due to another long term injury and during that offseason he was found not guilty.

‘‘Twas the official reason, if you count the number of people who believed it on one hand, you would have fingers to spare.

How long do deliberations typically take in a case like this?

How long did Haynes take ? His was only one defendant .

How long is a piece of string. The longer it goes the more likely it is a hung jury.

I’m not sure they measure that do they?

But seriously ...

Yes the quicker means all jurors are on the same page...

The longer means jurors differ in opinion and/or undecided. And while not always the way, the bigger the differentiator between jurors thinking guilty / not guilty in the first instance (eg 10 to 2)... usually takes a much shorter time than an evenly-split jury (eg 6 to 6)...

That doesn’t answer the question completely on how long deliberations usually take in a cass like this.... but yes, it could take anything from less than an hour to weeks...

How unanimous does it need to be?

Eg everyone in agreement or 9-1, 8-2 etc?

Like if it's 8 guilty 2 not guilty does that mean it's a guilty verdict?

The definition of "unanimous" is "fully in agreement".

All jurors need to be on the same page for either a guilty or not guilty verdict. Otherwise it's a hung jury (again).

They can get a majority verdict, but in NSW a majority verdict is 11-1.

Wow. You learn something new everyday. Thanks for this.

If its another hung jury should we go to the good old fashioned witch dunking method?

 

[myrrh ken]

I wonder if the Hayne decision will embolden the jury to make a decision.

They can think about it until next week apparently

Only our club would offer an extension with this matter some way off resolution (when the extension was offered). Peak McGregor. I understand that many will disagree (& that's cool), but my club shouldn't have offered him any type contract until this matter is fully resolved. We have to be better than that. This has just been one massive f**k up, a continual ugly stain on the game & my club.

Rumoured to have a contract in front of Hayne for 2025.
