Rumours and Stuff

[84 Baby]

My recollection of his lawyer's media statement was that the CCTV footage didn't support five touchings. Said nothing about four or less. Pedantic, but after all it was a lawyer spruiking his view. In any case, it isn't the touching he's in trouble for. Consent is the issue. Maybe the CCTV shows her thumping him in the snot box after grabbing a melon. Maybe not. We simply don't know just yet.

You were pedantic at the start then said he was in trouble for consent, not touching. So if she said no to consent, he’d be in trouble regardless if he touched her or not?!?

 

[eels_fan]

while his lawyer asserts the CCTV footage does not support the allegations at all...

If his lawyers comments he’d been “the footage shows nothing” then we’d be in agreeance.

however his lawyer specifically and intentionally referred to the number of occurrences and the exact nature of the touching, saying the “footage doesn’t show Dylan touching both her breasts on five occasions”

that could mean he did if 4 times, or 1 times. Or maybe he grabbed one, and then the other as opposed to in unison.

Lawyer speak is always pedantic as if the charges are not accurate they can be thrown out.

Let’s hope it wasn’t 6+ times.

Whatever happens on his next court appearance, I can’t see Brown playing again this year.

1) He pleads guilty: most likely adjourned for sentence at a later date. NRL, after the guilty plea, hands down a suspension, likely ruling him out for the year.

2) He pleads not guilty. Hearing is set down most likely for late this year or early next year. He remains stood down.

If we’re getting anywhere this season, it will need to be with Asi at 6. I would love to be wrong in all this, but I don’t think I will be.

Yeh, the northern end of it used to be a Thai restaurant.

Yes, the Phuket Thai Restaurant, when no one knew what Phuket was in Canberra, so you can guess how everyone pronounced it.

That floor space that Tilleys now occupies also use to house a butcher, a book store, the post office, and a laundromate.

Can he just pay her out like Hayne did?

Well he will play if the charges are dropped. Remember that charges are laid at 1am at the cop shop. It's then up to the police prosecution to see if they can actually put a case together that will bring a conviction.

If only Dylan was a surfer and the double bay girl was a Indonesian man who got stabbed in aceh provence Indonesia

It doesn’t matter this is all Dyl, this guy obviously thinks with his cock and not his brain, if he wasn’t such a randy toad, we wouldn’t be having this conversation, I don’t blame the NRL for this

maybe the club needs to employ someone to service the randy toads

You mean at the centre of excellence?

True, that is the third option I didn’t mention (the fourth option is he has it adjourned to another mention which is unlikely).

Either way, to charge him, they had a prima facie case, which includes CCTV. I’m hopeful the charges will be dropped but I can’t see it happening in this case.

Yep, but street cops are not lawyers and as much as they might think that their evidence is solid, the DPP need to run the case and won't waste tbe public purse if the likelihood of conviction is grim.

Anyway, I am torn cos I am a Dad of a girl her age plus an eels supporter. So I will mow tbe lawns instead.

 

[Noise]

No.

However from what I was told, which is not reliable, does not sound great.

I can only judge on what the media says and what I have been told. Based off that i don't think we will see him run out for Parra again in 2023.

You originally said we won’t seem him at all, not just for 2023.

I dunno about that. Evidence was pretty clear and they still went ahead and wasted time and money on this case. Also dragged out for a year.

This is his second incident. He’s obviously approaching Corey Norman peanut territory.

Talented player. But yes the peanut is strong with him. Just need to hear some of his interviews, cringeworthy. Kid needs guidance.

Not quite, I wrote that the lawyer was being pedantic. In any case, if he didn't touch her, the consent is irrelevant. He's charged with sexual touching without consent. The consent bit is the important part.

I thought the bookstore, post office and laundromat were always in their present location (i.e. in the same building as Tilleys, directly adjoining it)? I guess I first went there in 88.

Didn't the Houston Texans try something like this with a former QB?

I don't think it ended well....

You can imagine if Marvin Gaye was still alive today, he'd have to release "Sexual Healing (with consent)"
