Message: [QUOTE="abashii, post: 3210708, member: 8686"] I'm not sure I can agree with you here. Payne can be ashamed of the way he acted, e.g. telling a cop to **** off, while refuting the charges laid or seeking clarity with regards to whether his actions amounted to the crimes alleged. At this stage we don't know what his actions were or what consequences he's being asked to accept, legal or otherwise. Retaining a lawyer who makes a statement intended to head off the scum-sucking NRL media, including the Courier Mail who deliberately phrased their headline to mislead the reader into believing Payne had been involved in a brawl, and other sources who were claiming he'd assaulted his partner is not the same as refusing to accept the consequences. If and when the full story comes out Payne can make an appropriate statement, assisted by his lawyer if need be. As the charges laid in this instance don't speak of high crimes and misdemeanours I'm perfectly happy as a fan with the decision to not make further comment or decide on any punishment before the facts are known and any trial finished.
