Jack de Belin court case

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

I just think some on her choose who they cater

So you didn't take one for the team

**** the team mate.

We will never know what really happened and why. But she was a kid 19 years old and deserved to be treated better especially by guys older than her. Very sad.

De bellin and Sinclair may need to approach their local MP Gareth Ward for assistance.

Liberal MPs will wait for byelection before counselling Gareth Ward on political future

Liberal MPs will wait until the outcome of Saturday’s Upper Hunter byelection before counselling Kiama MP Gareth Ward to consider his political future as he faces sexual violence allegations.

And scammed by “masseurs“ in New York a couple of years back.

Very true.
What she has endured in two court cases, without a result, will further discourage females from reporting bad behaviour. Why would they go through such trauma when these case are often so difficult for a jury to decide without reasonable doubt?
I'm still not in favour of the NRL 'no fault stand down rule' because it also impacts the lives and careers of players who are innocent until proven otherwise. And with our court system so slow such a decision is taking three years. I'm sure the NRL never took the real time delay into account when they introduced the rule.

So does it look like he’s off now ???

Anyone !!!

They have until May 28 to either announce a new trial or drop the charges. I'm guessing they will use most of it.

I couldn't imagine the authorities pursuing a third court case, nor could I imagine the alleged victim agreeing to go through such another ordeal in court.

 

[The Wheel]

My view is that like a lot of these types of cases the truth is probably somewhere in the middle and we will never know what that is

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So Jack will be back and SOON

It LOOKS that way.

 

[Peter C]

Yes, looks like he'll be back in the team to give the brothers a hand

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Wonder if he will wear his hair with that old top knot again, or just go for a standard bun.

Standard bun is more his style now

Either way, his reputation has been destroyed. He will always be the guy that maybe raped someone and that definitely cheated on his pregnant missus. He also sat a couple of years out of the game at his peak when he was a regular pick for SOO. If that’s not a glowing endorsement for “think with your big head, not your little head” as Nathan Brown likes to say, nothing is.

 

[manlyfan76]

Only 1 in every 10 cases that make it to court is a conviction recorded.

How many do the police not press charges?
How many don't go to the police?

This is a massive issue. We need a cultural shift on violence and esp sexual assaults.

#BREAKING Rape charges against Jack #Debelin and Callan Sinclair have been dropped after two juries were unable to reach a verdict.

What a ****ing joke that this guy was hung, drawn and quartered by the NRL.

Greenburg should be ashamed of himself.

I hope JDB finds some new grounds to sue the arse off the NRL.

 

[The Who]

Regardless of what we feel about the juries' decisions, and about the player, the fact is this guy has lost three years from his career and has never been found guilty in a court of law.
It's a disgrace.

I wonder if he is celebrating at Northies.
