Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2912658, member: 2221"] My reply was to this comment, note the "anyone" mention in bold: You may not have excused it like others have, but you certainly keep diminishing it by emphasising the plaintiffs lies, peddling the media attack angle, and creating doubt about the extent of Lodge's acts (as per below's quote). That's losing sight of the forest through the trees, and without a doubt a consequence of the ranged attack to the Broncos from the NSW media, which Yvonne wasn't part of. This is the original report from the incident, before anyone even thought he was coming to Qld and the Broncos. The only differences we read today, are about the victims psychological trauma, which may or may not be exaggerated, the lie about Lodge's lack of remorse and apology, and of course their greedy pursuit of money: [URL]https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/matthew-lodge-faces-new-york-court-ordered-to-stay-away-from-women-he-allegedly-stalked-20151022-gkf7aw.html[/URL] I don't know what the reasons were for the plea deal, but prosecutors in the US, especially in the bigger cities, are definitely in the business of getting guaranteed convictions with plea deals, very often to the revolt of the victims. US law is funny that way, because the worse charge, which carried the highest minimum sentence, was that of wilful property damage, which in my opinion is the least of the problems in this case. FTR, I don't think what he allegedly did, deserved 5-25 years jail, but it definitely deserved more than community service. In fact the civil suit was brought on 2 months later as a result of the dissatisfaction from the victims with the plea deal offered to him. [/QUOTE]
