24/2/16 SMH REPORTING ON SKD COURT CASE

[BallyChook]

Most of what's being reported so far is putting the prosecution's case at it highest. Will be very interesting to hear what Temby QC (legal practitioner of 50 years) does in cross examination.

putting the prosecution's case at it highest

What does this mean?

[BallyChook]

What does this mean?

Stating their absolute best case and which hasn't yet been tested.

[HBK]

is the drink spilling related to any charge?

[JAF]

I am no lawyer but if that is the best that they have got, then Skidsy should have nothing to worry about ...

It has also been reported that 2 of the charges happened whist she was on coke, so her credibility is going to get really tested during this court case ...

[Danish]

Indeed.

So he punched a photo to release some anger.

That's really no big deal imo. Especially in the context of their relationship where this woman sounds liable to drive a man borderline insane.

Putting your fist through a glass frame in anger while arguing with your missus is a pretty aggressive thing to do, though. Not a criminal thing, just a bit of a marker. The facts around how it was done could make some difference, though (she claims he smashed it right next to her head, he claims otherwise). If he's walked into another room and hit something in frustration, thats one thing. If he's smashed it while they are yelling at each other, that is quite another.

Exactly. Shit, my wife and I have had arguments where she's been so frustrated with my style – exasperated even – to the point that she's kicked a door in anger or whatever.

It's called being human.

Call me sexist, but I'm of the opinion that the physically much stronger and larger male has much more responsibility to curtail their physical outbursts than the smaller and weaker woman does during an argument.

I doubt when your wife kicked that door you saw it happen and feared of the damage that could be done if she were to kick you, whereas that is absolutely a concern for a woman when a man does it

Does it hurt your head, carrying all of these deep thoughts around in it?

Hmmm. Maybe.

I just think that's a straw man, is all. I have no doubt that it would be scary for any person being exposed to that level of aggression, but the scary part (I imagine) is seeing their loved one so upset as to see them effectively hurt themselves out of frustration.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Unless, of course, if that person has a history of targeted, physical violence. Which in many instances isn't the case.

Well quite.

Not often I agree with you but I do here. If he was indeed close to her whilst smashing a photo on the wall it is a violent act and it is domestic violence. And an AVO would be justified.

You goddamn stupid, sexist pig.

Those thoughts seem deep to you?

That could well be true, too. It all comes down to context

[eddie]

I reckon Robbo should resist all temptation to play SKD in the centres.
He is a specialist winger, as is Toupo.
Where does this leave Burgess?
