Rumours and Stuff

[Noise]

I think the consorting with criminals thing is the 'attempted' legal way of saying don't hang out with bikie scum or we'll get you for um...something or other...

 

[Parra47]

So what constitutes consorting anyway. Is it length of time around a criminal, distance to them, the type of meal or what. I mean is it ok for a quick maccas trip with an armed robber but you can't have a chinese meal with a bloke who didn't pay his parking fines?

Consorting is when persons who are for example on parole are seen talking with/spending time together.

Maccas and KFC is ok ... just not chinese .... thai is a bit of a grey area

Spoke with my mate last week who works with norths and he said that Brown is a knob head and they don't like it when he is around the NSW cup team. Shit attitude.... but he can play

I stole a heap of toiletries from a hotel once. That probably makes me a criminal.

And a tight arse, were you rooming with Ash???

Brown is a very good pick up if true. Tough and agressive with an offload. Think he will become a crowd favourite for Parra.

Ive driven passed plenty of speed cameras and police radar and been over the speed limit, but have still received no ticket.

How many people who aren't NRL footballers have recieved notices for consorting with criminals?

Just like giving someone a speeding ticket or not its a discretionary decision....

You know all those letter you keep getting from the State Debt Recovery department ... you arent meant to just throw them away

You are exactly right, although most matters are heard by a Magistrate not a judge. Having said that it is common knowledge even amongst Magistrates and Judges that Criminals get off at Court often as there is not enough evidence. to convict. They will often say as much when summing up a matter.
It is up to the Prosecution to prove a matter beyond Reasonable Doubt. If that can not be reached the accused will walk free.

I hate repeating myself, but that's called innocence. Or more accurately, being found innocent.

Well that will cost him 15% of his wages, not see if it will set him straight.

Not arguing with you, just letting you know it is not as black and white as what you suggest. That is acknowledged by both sides of the law, the Prosecution and the Defence as well as the Magistrates and Judges.

Chipmunk will probably end up behind the gates of hades if he doesn't pay up

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Tell you what cherry picker, why don't you go back and look at all his games this season and tell me how many he made 100m+ vs under 100m and lets see who is talking shit.

Surely his most recent games are what's important?

Is that why Hayne left?

The legal term is not guilty. Innocent implies you've never been fingered in the bum or whatever.

But you are though, cause you told me to go to court, meaning you think I'm wrong, which I'm not.

As far as the difference between guilt and innocence, yeah it's pretty black and white. No one is found kinda innocent. I'm not saying that guilty people don't go free, cause of course they do sometimes, but you can't call them criminals if they haven't been convicted of anything.

That's an elegant definition Pou...
