Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2621035, member: 2221"] [b]re: [Confirmed] Russell Packer --> Panthers[/b] My last word on this. There is a difference between the intention and the act. While he may not have been thinking (which given the alcohol level is quite likely) "I'm gonna murder this guy", he dealt him a blow with a high probability of causing death, after punching him maliciously several times while on the ground, until he was actually pulled of his victim. This is factual and visible on video, as well as a part of court reporting. How the prosecutor came to his determination of the charges is obviously not known, and I'm not going to speculate much on that, except than for saying that it's common to see that lesser charges are laid to ensure sentencing and/or a plea. Fact is that the barrister defending Packer did not expect the plea would result in a jail term, but the judge's sentencing indicates that this was no ordinary alcohol fuelled incident. Here are some of Mr. Grogan's quotes, when he dealt the sentence: The defense also appealed the sentencing and requested bail until then, but the judge refused bail until the appeal's date. All of the above is what determines not defamation, but merely my opinion: In my opinion, the ACT of stomping on someone's head, constitutes a deadly blow or a violent attack with a higher probability of resulting in death, and should be regarded as such. Whether this was what Packer actually wanted to do is a different matter all together, as no one can really tell, unless they can actually read minds. Based on all of the above, plus his actions on the field at Suncorp and the way he attempted to take out our biggest club legend, is why I don't want him anywhere near us. P.S. Sorry for the essay, I find it difficult to summarise... [/QUOTE]
