24/2/16 SMH REPORTING ON SKD COURT CASE

[The Axe]

Ch 9 reporting was disgraceful IMO. Their headline told a condemning story. Then right at the end of the bulletin, they stated that this was SKD's side of the story and that he had his chance tomorrow. I'm sure taht last line was deliberately to soften the story and to protect them legally. Poor reporting

[Bernie08]

Nah - if punching a photo or breaking a door in anger is a criminal offence then we've truly lost it as a society.

Arrest Des Hasler the door kicker

[Salvatori Grubber]

That's disgusting.

[Tommy Smith]

The media is a disgrace.

In fact they're all tabloids now. Nothing more.

[Guest]

That is low even for an online tabloid.

Well, if he did say it, it is not a misleading quote, and it will sell Papers. Media do not care about feelings, only what sells. I'm not sure why there isn't a headline such as coke addict foe peris though.

Wonder if kenny's mum will testify?

Article in the SMH implies he's a baddy:
http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/s...23-gn1xia.html

It comes down to the person telling the story – I mean the author is a) a woman and b) not a chook fan (presumably), so it's been written (and subbed) from the perspective of the sensational: Footy player = thug, woman = trodden-on.

When I tell the story it's all about making excuses for SKD and vilifying his partner.

Who knows?

I strongly urge people to click on the story link and then click on "other articles by the writer". All of the stories are mudraking on NRL players. She could get a fair angle if her middle name was protractor. The crime is she calls herself a writer.

Latest SMH article:
Sydney Roosters centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall joked to his mother that he had "bashed" his girlfriend when she turned up at a family lunch with a visible bruise on her arm, a court has been told.
Jessica Peris took to the stand in the Sydney District Court on Wednesday to give evidence against her former boyfriend, who is facing 11 domestic violence charges including assault, stalking, intimidation and destroying property.
The NRL star has pleaded not guilty to the allegations, which include headbutting his girlfriend, pushing her, pulling her hair, putting her in a headlock, destroying a mobile phone, grabbing her arm so tightly it left a bruise, kicking her out of bed and sending offensive text messages.

Ms Peris, a professional track athlete training for the Olympic Games, said the violence started months into their relationship in late 2014 during an argument over previous partners.
Mr Kenny-Dowall locked himself in the bathroom with her phone before emerging and throwing the phone across the room, smashing it.
He pushed Ms Peris up against the wall, threw her on the bed and grabbed her left arm so tightly that a bruise emerged days later.
"You're a f---ing slut, I have wasted my time," Ms Peris recalled him saying to her.
He then punched a framed photo on the wall, cutting his knuckles and leaving blood across the room of their Coogee apartment.
Ms Peris said her boyfriend later apologised for "flipping" and gave her a $700 gift card, a club prize given to him by the Roosters, "because he felt bad".
Days later, when the pair had lunch with Mr Kenny-Dowall's parents for a birthday, his mother saw the bruise on her arm and said "Oh my gosh Jess, what's that on your arm?" Ms Peris recalled.
"I was quite hesitant in saying what it's from but Shaun sarcastically said, 'Oh I bashed her' as if it was... something to be laughed about," she told the court.
She said his mother replied: "I hope you didn't, Shaun."
An athletics teammate is expected to give evidence that she noticed the bruise but Ms Peris told her it was from accidentally dropping a weight bar while doing exercises.
Mr Kenny-Dowall's barrister, Ian Temby, QC, said there was no dispute that he punched the framed picture and injured himself but Ms Peris was nowhere near it at the time. He has disputed all the allegations of violence against her.
Ms Peris, who met Mr Kenny-Dowall at a bar in Bali in 2012, reported the incidents to police when the relationship ended in 2015.
She told the court on Wednesday that, at different times during their relationship, Mr Kenny-Dowall pushed her in the hallway of their apartment, kicked her out of bed and pushed her for coming home drunk one night.
After a fight over their pet dog, he allegedly locked her out of the bedroom and, when she forced her way in, he head-butted her, she told the three-day hearing.
When he returned home from a Roosters function on May 16, 2015, he took one of her vodka alcopops and sprayed it on her, the court heard.
Earlier on Wednesday, more than 40,000 text messages exchanged by the couple in a 10-month period were tendered, the equivalent of about 150 per day.
Among them are messages that show Jessica Peris took cocaine on occasion, Detective Senior Sergeant Laney Martyr told the court.
Kenny-Dowall's defence team will argue that none of the messages contained any mention of domestic violence.
In one message in March 2015, after some of the alleged incidents, Kenny-Dowall asked his girlfriend, "tell me [what] I have done Jess, what do I do wrong in this relationship?"
She replied that he needed to make an effort and help her become more confident and motivated for her athletics training.
Ms Peris' mother, former Olympian turned Northern Territory politician Nova Peris, was present as was a member of the NRL Integrity Unit.
Kenny-Dowall pleaded not guilty to the charges in August, two weeks after he was admitted to hospital following concerns about his mental health.
The member of the Roosters' 2013 NRL title-winning team missed three club games after being charged but has since returned to the field.
The hearing continues.

If this is what was said in court then the only hard proof is that he punched a photo but he said she said whether she was present and that she is a coke head.
Everything else is her word against his. If the bruise was because he did hit her I doubt he would even joke about it to his Mum. Some other excuse would surely have been used.
How can a judge have no doubt that he has committed domestic violence based on what this article says?
The media is the media. Anything to try and make them look better than the others. I remember Massoud after missing out on the exclusive coming on MMM stating that what Pearce did was worse than Monaghan and that he allegedly tried to have s3x with a dog but said he had not seen the video.

I certainly entertain a CH9 ban for the Roosters after the crap they dished up on the news tonight.

[trewhella]

I probably feel too passionate about this topic.

It seems in 2016 that women are allowed to bully and intimidate men emotionally, yet after 2000 years of evolution men are required to act with dignity and grace when feminism only evolved 30 years ago.

Most good men I know, can establish the difference between right and wrong.
The problen we currently we have as a society is the demonising of male aggression without acknowledging FEMALE aggression.
I am sure Shaun regrets punching a wall.
It doesn't make him a violent wife bashing criminal, does it???

Christ knows that is what he has been labelled as.


As a society we are in transition period. The rise of women with the fall of men.

It is a consistent and subtle theme.

Whilst I agree that women have been unfairly disadvantaged in the workplace, I cannot passively support the unfair marginalisation of men in the family courts that have been evident over the last 15 years.

Again, this will slowly shift back I hope.

This case on face value is a joke, a grab for money driven by a political mother with agendas that outweigh a young footballer trying to emotionally navigate a broken heart.

Case dismissed.

I'd say you're bias, as we all are on this forum. .

Speak for yourself on that one.
The context of this thread don't relate to football in the slightest.
What are we now? court case junkies who wanna see judge judy in Australia?

The media are real A-holes in all this.
SKD is innocent until proven guilty, or so I thought.
What Tommy Smith wrote was all any sane person would conclude from the "he said, she said "crap that's going on down there.
And you perceive he's bias because SKD plays for the Roosters?
And you support some of the dribble danish added to this abortion of a topic?
Don't conclude that everyone will settle for ghoulish over exaggeration of every point if it makes them look PC.
Man, I would not be happy if any of my court appearances became a friggking circus like this.

Have to say that the voice of reason here is Mr Salvo Grubber.
Yep.

And, I wanna know which specialist flanker misses the cut?
The Pom.
The Giraffe.
Or the club legend?

I said I was bias in my support of and wanting to believe in skd.

I agree with Danish that what was posted above is what is classified as domestic violence. I didn't give my own opinion. I'd be one of the least pc people on this forum. I'm just voicing this from how the court and society will be looking at this case and not as a roosters fan saying dumb shit like she's a money grabbing whore and liar when none of us know what went on.

And the pom misses out for now.

Very well said.

Only my opinion but when 2 people have a different opinion on domestic violence events that happen between them they both make things up & they both tell lies. If she has photos of the bruising on her arm I believe he will be found guilty of assault causing actual bodily harm & if he admits to smashing her phone he will be found guilty of malicious damage. The stalking spraying her with a drink & kicking her out of bed will be thrown out because it cant be proved.
