Geez, you've obviously read a few comments from bitter LU members to come up with your version of events.
Manly never confirmed Stewart carried on like an idiot. The only accusation aimed at Stewart with regard to the season launch was that he was intoxicated (it was later revealed by police that he wasn't). Even if he was drunk, he did nothing wrong while drunk, he simply was asked (along with other team members) to leave the Wharf bar as the function had finished. If being a responsible drunk is a crime then half the NRL players should be suspended each weekend. Of course, Manly were going to do nothing, Brett had done nothing that was contrary to club or NRL policies.
Are you serious the Judge appologised to stewart and repremanded the DPP for even bringing the case forward. 2 jury members made the effort to shake stewarts hand for the way he conducted himself..... BOD.... get over your hate and get a clue!!!!
wow , stood down for 5 games whilst the charges/media circus were in process makes sense to me given the seriousness of the charge.
Wow , anyone comparing a MORNING AFTER alcohol charge and a late hour PUBLIC punch to a private drunken assault accusation on a young female outside of their home , well enough said for that person.TOTALLY DIFFERENT YOU MORON.
NOT Guilty also means Benefit of the doubt , not enough evidence . something happenned, where there is smoke/there is fire and only one person responsible for that.
And this is exactly the type of view that makes someone stay bitter. He was found not guilty yet he will go through the rest of his life with idiots like yourself thinking that maybe he did it. How would you like to have that hanging over your head when you know that you are innocent?
A lack of evidence does not make him innocent.
Him not being convicted of the charges does not make him innocent.
It means there was not enough evidence for said conviction.
sorry mate i think you have no clue.
number 1 , how would you expect stewart to behave in the court room ? Of course he would have conducted himself to the highest standard he could whatever he had really done .
number 2 , OJ was also found not guilty and am sure some of the jury would have liked to kiss his ass too . what does that prove ? The latest view continues to be he really did it.
number 3 , something happenned. If the girl had lied , then i would expect a civil action against her by the accused. Has this happenned? what does that mean to you , it means it me that something happenned however the jury gave a benefit of the doubt decision.

Firechild - What do you personally believe happened with the Bird saga?
Did he do anything?
Cause i sure as hell think he did something. Yet his charges were quashed in court.
