I don’t get it. He’s been charged with driving under the influence of drugs and losing control of his vehicle. But no mention of the damage this losing control caused? No mention of the victims? Are the victims supposed to sue him or something?Comment

There may have already been some sort of settlement in exchange for not being charged with causing injuries.Niy sure if that could happen butOriginally posted by mightyrooster View PostComment

I had a quick geez through QLD's relevant legislation and decided to back-out as I'm not an expert in QLD driving offences.Originally posted by mightyrooster View Post
However, there seems to be some overlap between the criminal code (which has a really nasty, black and white, strict liability offence for incidents where you crash... while on drugs... without a license... strict liability means the mens rea of negligence/recklessness is irrelevant). I'd need to read the history of that offence but it's a nasty one with a max penalty of 5 years.
I don't know why they chose to stack together a heap of lesser offences under the relevant driving offences leg (or what the ticket for losing control of a vehicle actually is) but they did. This is assuming the papers are reporting the charges correctly (which they may not).Comment

I did wonder about that. I was thinking Broncos Pty Ltd covering the cost on his behalf.Originally posted by Rooster1908 View PostComment

Thanks issy. I was trying to compare it to the Sandon Smith situation, which I know is a different state and all, but maybe the victim with the foot injury is the one suing for damages. And as 08 said, the family of the little girl have reached a private settlement.Originally posted by ism22 View PostComment

Anyone injured in a car accident makes a claim against third party insurance. You cant normally sue the offending driver separately. Im not sure if Ezras third party insurance is void because he was on drugs. If so they could then sue him. His vehicle insurance should be void so he would have to play for damage to the vehicles. A private settlement cant prevent police charges for driving offences.Comment

Not sure there would have been any third party insurance as his car was unregistered.FVCK CANCERComment

That all makes sense. Thanks. So the initial charges suggest the police believe the injury to the victims is not sufficient to warrant a higher charge? This will give the NRL an excuse to give him a lighter ban. Whereas he should be de-registered from the NRL for a minimum 12 months. Am I being cynical?Originally posted by Schooner View PostComment

Not cynical at all. Given the severity of the incident and the extent of his wrongdoing, I would expect the NRL should ban him for a couple of years. If Maguire is fair dinkum about changing the culture at the Broncos, they should tear up his contract immediately. Hopefully we never see him again in the NRL.Originally posted by mightyrooster View PostComment
