Winner - Worst defence counsel argument in history

Featured Replies

 

Actually, if there is no eyewitness to confirm identity I would have thought it was a good defence. Mind you, if the defendant did what he is charged with, I hope the jury has sufficient circumstantial evidence to find him guilty.

Such a joke of a thing, the mistaken identity defence...

Hopefully you never get accused of something you didn't do.

Identity is crucial, cast enough doubt and the prosecution is in trouble.


Defence lawyers are not supposed to come up with an actual defence, they are supposed to relay to the court what happened (according to their client).

Seems a chance that the defence client remembered what happened after they saw a possible flaw in the video.

The first point of proof in any offence in the state of Victoria is IDENTITY

Guys ... this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. ie. RDB doesn't make mistakes!

Untrue, a couple years back he passed his jumper onto a girl - thinking he was a guy and going to wear it proudly.

Then again, he wasnt to know then that Scully didnt have a set.


The ol' mistaken identity argument didn't work.

Found Guilty of bashing Ron.

The Headline should've been......

Ron strikes out Bowling!

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
