Todd Carney Combined Mega Thread

[susan]

3 drink driving charges,pissed on a blokes head in a urinal,2 dangerous driving charges while drunk,1 where he attempted to evade police,run out of his home town by magistrate and who knows what in his younger years.An ex NRL player up here on the coast tells me the Carney family is legendary for this stuff in their home town.He has had good teachers apparently.

The bloke is a grub.Simple.

\"No conviction was recorded and a 10-month driving ban was also overturned.\"

So he didn't even lose his licence ? Surely that's a joke, regardless of whether he is a footballer or not. A repeat drink driver on his P's and he doesn't get banned from driving. I don't get that.

un****ing believable

This is a ****ing joke

Yep, he's now back on the road driving again.

Joke is an understatement. I find it bizarre that any magistrate would not know that you can't impose jail for low range PCA. Even more bizarre that Carney's lawyers wouldn't have mentioned that problem when the intitial sentence was given. And triply bizarre that the magistrate would then go from suspended jail to a non-conviction.

It was Carney's lucky day, so good luck to him. Any offence - not just driving - while he's on that bond would leave his liberty hanging by a thread.

Don't know why the court has to wait for him. Surely the onus is on him to arrive at the correct time. Otherwise a ruling should be made in his absence.

Shouldn't he got charged with contempt of court as well?

Carney....Poster boy of the Randwick Magistrates Court.

Hadley has said this morning that it looks like he will lose his licence for 5years as he will be classed as a habitual offender by the rta, 

 

[torana355]

This is ****ing disgraceful. It seems Todd can do as he pleases and have no repercussions on or off the field. The fact that he is allowed back on the road is bemusing.

Unfortunately its not just Todd.  The Magistrate was bound by the rules eventhough she wanted to take a tougher stance.

Fair f**king dinkum, Todd Carney must have been f**ked by the fairies.

He has more lives than a cat

 

[Captain Moondog]

His Mum wrote him a letter and he got off (as reported in The Australian). Wonder will this set a precedent? Take a letter  from the old cheese to court and you'll be sweet!

Cops to appeal Todd Carney verdict

POLICE are set to appeal the lenient sentence that allowed Roosters star Todd Carney to keep his licence, despite pleading guilty to drink driving.

In a decision that has stunned road safety advocates, P-plater Carney escaped with a section 10 ruling by Magistrate Jaqueline Milledge, allowing him to keep his licence after pleading guilty to low-range drink driving.The 24-year-old, who was arrested on February 26, was previously suspended from driving in 2007 after a drunken police chase in the ACT.

Ms Milledge placed Carney on a 24-month bond, declaring "he will not lose his licence".

"NSW police intend to refer the matter to the DPP for consideration of appeal," Police Prosecutions commander Superintendent Tony Trichter said yesterday.

By the time the appeal rolls around he'll probably already be in trouble for something else.

 

[Captain Moondog]

Absolute bull**** he kept his licence. With his driving record he should'nt be allowed to ride a pushbike on the road.

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Hadley said on his show that the RTA may suspend his licence for 5 years as he is a habitual offender

Repeat DUI keeping his licence? No wonder people die on the roads.
