24/2/16 SMH REPORTING ON SKD COURT CASE

[ChookMaster]

I believe if SKD was indeed, guilty that he would alert his family first and foremost but also the club. From what we've seen these past few years under robbo, we have a great culture.Consider the boys as family. Thats how tight they are. Im certain SKD also respects robbo and acknowledges that he can consult in him with anything, as thats what makes robbo so highly rated, his a people's person. Now i may be wrong about all of this and SKD may of just denied it all to the club, his family and the media. But that seems off. If SKD was guilty wouldnt he just say to the club, im screwed. The club have supported SKD and have not by all means shown him the door. I believe SKD is innocent for other reasons but i believe if he wasnt innocent he would let the club know and most importantly his family.

I hope that we rest skd, just for the souffs game. It's not that I don't think he will be up for the game but rather that the scummy souffs fans will get on his back about what has been going on and that may mess with his head.

[Salvatori Grubber]

This is Souths we're talking about; they've likely got a new-found respect for the guy.

I don't think skds indiscretions are quite as impressive as Inglis, avuu, teo, Luke etc....in this area so souths won't want him.

yeah but that eastern suburbs tattoo on his forearm might be a bit of deal breaker. Also the fact that he bleeds rw&b

Man what about the stuff about marriage from her. Good find KingBilly

Having sat through the evidence of the hearing days for the A-Grade NRL football player Shaun Kenny-Dowall's domestic violence trial, we are amazed that ignorance abounds with members of the public as a result of a lack of integrity attached to the information that some media outlets provided to their readers... and continue to do so. The evidence attached to the case does not lie and when viewed in its entirety indicates that no domestic violence on the part of Shaun Kenny-Dowall, against Jessica Peris, daughter of Northern Territory Senator Nova Peris, ever took place. There was evidence produced however that Jessica Peris had been violent with Mr Kenny-Dowall and this was also the case in a matter with the alleged victim's last partner, who she also accused of domestic violence... Yet the court found at the time that it was Ms Peris who had been violent toward him.
Peris and Kenny Dowall matter
1. There were no physical injuries on the victim and no prior claims of psychological trauma experienced by the victim
2. There was no medical evidence indicating the victim had sustained any injuries
3. There were no witnesses
4. The victim, when tabling her recollection of events made unfounded allegations under oath which the evidence clearly showed to be false
5. The claims of violence by the victim were retrospective and after the alleged attacks the victim asked the defendant to marry her in text messages, having first sent the defendant pictures of the flowers she required at her wedding, followed by a picture of the engagement ring she wanted, followed by a marriage proposal ... Kenny-Dowall rejected the proposal in his reply. It is noted that the victim asked the defendant to marry her only a few weeks after she alleged that he was a jealous control freak who was physically violent with her.
6. The thousands of text messages between Peris and Kenny-Dowall showed an array of colourful language between the two, but mostly from Peris to Dowall, with Dowall on occasions responding to the victims abusive texts. The evidence shows that Ms Peris sent similar abusive texts to her previous partner Jah Coe and made similar domestic violence claims against him in an attempt to stop him from seeing the child he has with Peris. The domestic violence allegations made by Peris' against her previous partner were practically identical to those Kenny-Dowall faced. Peris who was found to have defrauded centrelink whilst living with Kenny-Dowall also claimed Centrelink benefits she was not entitled to during her time with Jah Coe. Here are two sections of information recorded about the matter.

Outcome of court hearing for Jah Coe - Domestic Violence charges

Sections from Other side of the Fence

Jah Coe and Shaun Kenny-Dowall are victims of an extortion attempt by the same ex-partner and when they refused to pay up, both became targets of bogus domestic violence claims as a result of Peris' self serving agenda, which was to administer her personal vendettas.

Summary of Miracles Australia Inc. 2016 Report

Our latest report is soon to be released and was compiled from case studies over several years related to domestic violence matters and family law access applications. The Miracles Australia Inc. Report 2016 is currently undergoing the DE-identification process prior to release. This report, although summarised due to the sensitive nature of the material (Family and Criminal Law), highlights gaps in many of the systems that are available to assist with resolving issues and improving outcomes, but as a result of the absence of quality assurance mechanisms, fail to deliver the anticipated results and the collateral damage is catastrophic. Individuals who are wrongfully accused of a crime, and regardless of the legal processes available to them or the existence of an evidence base that proves innocence, sustain long term injury simply because if you throw enough mud - some will stick - and collateral damage will ensue.

Due process and trusting in the law provides little comfort once an individual becomes the target of a smear campaign, the irreversible damage is inflicted the minute the false allegation come into existence... and although some solace can be gained from clearing your name, there is then a lack of transparency when it comes to holding those who made the false allegations publicly accountable for their actions. Common law suits can provide some satisfaction for those individuals who have been wronged but it is an extremely costly and traumatic affair and does not provide a suitable public deterrent or hold the person accountable for the crime they have committed. Under current law it is a crime to make a false accusation to the Police in an attempt to have the other person investigated for an offence and there are deterrents are in place to hold those who do this accountable for their actions.There is little movement however in relation to enforcing legal recourse for deliberately misleading and unnecessarily using the resources of law enforcement, the courts and other related agencies to service personal vendettas or attempt to pervert the course of justice.

Having said that, in the Australian Capital Territory recently, a woman did face convictions for making false allegations against her ex-boyfriend who was a prison guard at the time and spent four months in Goulburn Gaol before all charges were dropped against him. The woman fronted the ACT Magistrates Court, where Chief Magistrate Lorraine Walker found her guilty on two counts of making false accusations and three of causing public mischief. The Chief Magistrate found that the woman seemed to have been motivated by greed, revenge and attention-seeking behaviour.

There are individuals among us who think nothing of claiming to be victims of domestic violence to get back at a partner or family member without any regard for the many people who are genuine victims of violence and whose lives depend on the level of assistance and awareness that can be provided to keep them safe. Individuals who make false claims are utilising already scarce or underfunded resources that are designed to protect the vulnerable. When Personal Protection Orders and Domestic Violence Orders are exercised using false and misleading information, the collateral damage that ensues is extremely high and this is why we can't adopt mandatory detention or sentencing when DVO's and Personal Protection Orders are in play.

Miracles Australia Inc. will be calling on all Australians to support mandatory prosecution for individuals who are found to have lodged false Personal Protection Orders/Domestic Violence Orders or make false and misleading statements resulting in the unnecessary use of public resources or injury to others. The overwhelming evidence base clearly shows that solutions related to addressing domestic violence, depression, suicide and mental health conditions have been available for 20 years but the governments of the day have not been listening. Hopefully the release of the Miracles Report 2016 and the many years of research and data analysis that was included will change that and we can all start focusing on paddling the canoe the same way when it comes to how we treat each other and the consequences of that behaviour upon others.

Wow. So why haven't the media reported on Point 5?

[2026]

Wow.

That's full on!

Thanks for sharing.

[JAF]

Let's just hope the Magistrate has also read this prior to his decision tomorrow!

[player 1]

I have a nasty feeling that although completely innocent of the trumped up charges against him, Shaun will be convicted of something by the magistrate, simply because it will be easier than admitting and drawing attention to the simple truth that many women use the judicial system against ex partners for their own vengeful purposes. The collateral damage to an innocent man who has already been through hell won't be considered worthy of attention or empathy.

[stringaz]

Well let's hope it's just a feeling and that the judge may set a precedent to stop scum like this making it detrimental for other women or men who are in danger

[fletch]

do we know what time today the verdict is being handed down yet?

[chopstiks]

I would like to know this as well.. since, a not guilty verdict will have the ignorant masses the media have spoon fed, up in arms.
