About as useful as being found not guilty by a jury on LU.

Too true

Yea the lawyers just making shit up, not like he would have club officials ready to testify about her attempted extortion. Her credibility is shot, charges will be thrown out.

I forget, if you try and extort someone it means that you can't have got bashed beforehand. Yes case closed, LU's victimhood parade sorted this one out.

isn't Chris Murphy the lawyer Mathew Newton uses when he beats up women?

he's one of those "celebrity" lawyers who manages to get off high profile people. whether its because he's good, or they are "innocent" is another debate. if i was charged with something serious and had the cash, i'd hire him

 

[Brutus]

Gillard's "captain's pick".

Gillard was the pioneer of the "Captain's Call"

Also have to remember it is the comments of a defence lawyer who's purpose is to destroy the credibility and integrity of the prosecution.

But a lawyer has never told a fib and are normally fine upstanding members of society..... ??

Any comments made during the trial aren't worth much at this point

Well one would think he would have some evidence to back up the claims. Especially the text message stuff, surely if there were threatening texts the prosecution could easily provide these?

 

[lolesi]

as I've stated earlier, the evidence could be minimal or plentiful, we don't know that and it's only the initial comment he has made.

I think people have to comprehend just because a claim/defence whatever is made it doesn't necessarily have to be fully supported by loads and loads of evidence. Even the suggestion of it and minimal evidence can be what the defence wants to achieve in tarnishing a victim/witness credibility.

Anyway I'm just repeating myself.

Lol this isnt a tv show. You don't get to throw around shit in a court without some evidence and/or testimony to back it up.

Defence lawyers can & do exactly this.

Remember last week when some Roosters fans were saying that old mate Jack should have first approached the Roosters and asked for cash

Nope. Feel free to quote it though.

 

[Snappy]

Too bad Roosters fans sooked enough to get the thread removed

 

[Unscrupulous]

Which thread?

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Defence lawyers can & do exactly this.

It's given no credence if there's nothing to back it up. You might get away with putting doubt in a jury, but even then the judge will instruct them to pretty much ignore it.

 

[Valheru]

Remember last week when some Roosters fans were saying that old mate Jack should have first approached the Roosters and asked for cash

No roosters fan said this.

What was said in jest by multuple people including non roosters fans was that he may have got more money if he went directly to the roosters.

Too bad Roosters fans sooked enough to get the thread removed

Thanks Walter Mitty. What else did you dream?

Shaun Kenny-Dowall not guilty of assaulting former partner Jess Peris
February 29, 2016 12:56pm
Ben McClellanThe Daily Telegraph

NRL star Shaun Kenny-Dowall has been acquitted of domestically assaulting former partner Jess Peris.

Kenny-Dowall has always denied the allegations and shortly beforer 1pm Magistrate Gregory Grogin found Kenny-Dowall not guilty of all charges.

The Sydney Roosters Centre was charged last July with 11 charges including assault, damaging property, using a carriage service to offend and stalking.

An emotional Kenny-Dowall embraced a large group of supporters, including his father John, with tears in his eyes after the judgment was handed down.

Peris nor her mother Nova were in court.

Mr Grogin said Peris was an “unreliable witness” who gave “calculating” answers when she gave evidence.

The kiwi international was accused of putting Ms Peris in a headlock, head-butting and kicking her among seven assault charges from October, 2014 to June, 2015.

He denied all charges in Downing Centre Local Court last week but conceded that he grabbed Peris’ bicep “tightly” and damaged her mobile phone during a heated argument in October, 2014.

The 28-year-old told the court on Friday he took the phone to look for evidence that the daughter of Labor Senator Nova Peris had cheated on him.

Following a tumultuous 14-month relationship in which the pair exchanged 40,000 text messages, some of them sexually explicit and abusive, Kenny-Dowall kicked Peris out of his Maroubra unit in June, 2015.

Kenny-Dowall denied that he evicted Peris because he found text messages on her phone of her complaining to her stepfather of his controlling nature.

“He has a massive jealous streak, high insecurity, has fits of rage and always accuses me of lying or cheating,” Peris wrote to Scott Appleton.

Kenny-Dowall then wrote to Mr Appleton: “I have not touched or hurt Jess physically in any matter whatsoever.”

In the three weeks after the couple split and Peris complained to police she went to the Sydney Roosters asking for money, the use of a car and accommodation for six months which was rejected.

The court also heard an offer of a $20,000 Range Rover and $15,000 was made by Roosters lawyers on behalf of Kenny-Dowall which he denied ever took place.

After these negotiations failed to satisfy Peris went to the police.

A good summary of the hearing. A lot which wasn't reported as it didn't support the vilification of SKD.

Having sat through the evidence of the hearing days for the A-Grade NRL football player Shaun Kenny-Dowall's domestic violence trial, we are amazed that ignorance abounds with members of the public as a result of a lack of integrity attached to the information that some media outlets provided to their readers... and continue to do so. The evidence attached to the case does not lie and when viewed in its entirety indicates that no domestic violence on the part of Shaun Kenny-Dowall, against Jessica Peris, daughter of Northern Territory Senator Nova Peris, ever took place. There was evidence produced however that Jessica Peris had been violent with Mr Kenny-Dowall and this was also the case in a matter with the alleged victim's last partner, who she also accused of domestic violence... Yet the court found at the time that it was Ms Peris who had been violent toward him.
Peris and Kenny Dowall matter
1. There were no physical injuries on the victim and no prior claims of psychological trauma experienced by the victim
2. There was no medical evidence indicating the victim had sustained any injuries
3. There were no witnesses
4. The victim, when tabling her recollection of events made unfounded allegations under oath which the evidence clearly showed to be false
5. The claims of violence by the victim were retrospective and after the alleged attacks the victim asked the defendant to marry her in text messages, having first sent the defendant pictures of the flowers she required at her wedding, followed by a picture of the engagement ring she wanted, followed by a marriage proposal ... Kenny-Dowall rejected the proposal in his reply. It is noted that the victim asked the defendant to marry her only a few weeks after she alleged that he was a jealous control freak who was physically violent with her.
6. The thousands of text messages between Peris and Kenny-Dowall showed an array of colourful language between the two, but mostly from Peris to Dowall, with Dowall on occasions responding to the victims abusive texts. The evidence shows that Ms Peris sent similar abusive texts to her previous partner Jah Coe and made similar domestic violence claims against him in an attempt to stop him from seeing the child he has with Peris. The domestic violence allegations made by Peris' against her previous partner were practically identical to those Kenny-Dowall faced. Peris who was found to have defrauded centrelink whilst living with Kenny-Dowall also claimed Centrelink benefits she was not entitled to during her time with Jah Coe. Here are two sections of information recorded about the matter. ​

Outcome of court hearing for Jah Coe - Domestic Violence charges

​

Sections from Other side of the Fence

Jah Coe and Shaun Kenny-Dowall are victims of an extortion attempt by the same ex-partner and when they refused to pay up, both became targets of bogus domestic violence claims as a result of Peris' self serving agenda, which was to administer her personal vendettas.

Knew this was a stitch up right from the start.

 

[Cockadoodledoo]

'Peris nor her mother Nova were in court.'

Notable that the pair of grubs didn't even show up.

 

[BranVan3000]

Hopefully he sues the shut out of her now. Would like to see him win big for the shit she dragged him through
