has the trial finished. by all accounts it looks fairly bad for him. If convicted surely this is jail time (and rightful so if has been proven guilty!)

The_General said:Was always gonna happen. AFL players always get off for serious crimes.
The girl should have waited until he's retired, then she'd have gotten an allegedly better result.
rosy23 said:Pretty ordinary General. That seems to be an assumption of guilt. It may well have never happened. It's not for us to judge or speculate about.
I agree, PT. Once it turned into a he said/she said scenario, this was always going to be the likely outcome of the case.Panthera Tigris said:I'd take a different tact and say that in hind site this was probably the most likely outcome. Not because of some sort of conspiracy theory that it's because he's an AFL footballer. More because, as the case went on it appeared to be more or less a he said/she said scenario. And happened years ago when they were both minors. Pretty hard to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the offense occurred. Unless it can be proven beyond reasonable doubt, a guilty verdict will never happen.
Was it a fair & just result? Who knows. I suppose it is one of those situations where only Majak and the compainant will ever know for sure.
