Which can happen and ive seen it happen in ACT where a drunken person has been woken up in freaked out and the more the police try to subdue them the more agressive they became due to being drunk and confused.

Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott to challenge police charges

Troubled NRL star Curtis Scott will “vigorously defend” serious police charges, including claims he kicked and punched an officer during his alleged alcohol fuelled Australia Day when he fronts court in Sydney. In another development, vital SCG security footage could now hold the key to Scott's immediate NRL career.

Police are in possession of security footage obtained by an SCG camera that apparently focusses on bushes near the Olympic Hotel on Moore Park Rd. It is not known what the vision shows but this is believed to be where the incident occurred. Arresting officers also wore body cameras.

Todd Greenberg set to recommend sanctions for Canberra Raiders back Curtis Scott and two others at ARLC meeting

NRL boss Todd Greenberg will recommend sanctions for Curtis Scott, Josh Reynolds and Maika Sivo to an Australian Rugby League Commission board meeting next Thursday.

While it is still up for debate whether any of the trio will be suspended from playing NRL games, fined, or escape punishment altogether, Greenberg will outline his position to the ARLC board meeting.

I am probably going against the grain here, and it certainly doesn’t look great, but the guy deserves his day in court. A friend of mine was hit with assaulting police charges after being tackled to the ground by a police officer who later testified he felt “threatened” by his presence. The court threw out the charges (luckily) due to a series of fortunate events (the police lawyer accidentally forwarded an email chain to the defence lawyer showing the police officers corroborating on their stories). There was also mobile phone footage from a bystander. If I wasn’t there, I wouldn’t have believed that my friend had done nothing wrong. I am not saying this is what happened in the Scott case - just that a charge needs to be proven in court.

I think a likely chain of events is that they tried to wake him, he was disoriented and lashed out.

In saying all of this - the guy needs to go on a self imposed booze ban.

Not sure if you're serious... getting blind drunk is not a legal defense or even a good excuse. A person is still responsible for what they do.

Curtis Scott’s court hearing brought forward to Friday

The Sydney court hearing for Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott, initially set down for 20 February at the Downing Centre Local Court, has been brought forward to 9:30am tomorrow.

The Daily Telegraph reports this may be to allow Scott’s legal team - headed by Danny Eid - to seek changes to bail conditions or challenge the charges. Eid is promising that the police charges will be vigorously defended.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the first responders in the early hours of Monday were two female officers.

The Canberra Raiders are believed to be of the view that a fair hearing requires that the legal processes should play out before club or NRL punishments are considered.

The Daily Telegraph also reports the Raiders are unhappy with suggestions that other Canberra players in Scott’s group did not look after the new recruit. It is believed they ensured Scott was put into a cab to take him back to their Bondi Junction hotel.

I dont want any of this to be taken the wrong way, but I would imagine a females perspective of feeling threatened is somewhat different to a males, regardless of profession. If x2 females (with no male backup) confronted a very drunk and agressive male who quite obviously is fit and strong and powerful, I think the threshold for applying a taser would be a little lower than if it was 2 blokes attending the incident.

Having said that, I feel a lot worse knowing that this stupid act was not only committed in the first place, but against 2 women.

This is the most pleasing aspect of this story. Hopefully our boys looked after him as best as can be expected.

Don't really care whether the police officers were male or female to be honest. They're all suitably trained professionals. As long as the truth comes out and he's punished accordingly.

100% agree with this, and gives more context to the Taser use. I suspect the Telegraph has included it though to heighten condemnation.

Azza wrote: January 30, 2020, 12:52 pm If he assaulted a female officer he's done for
I suspect the gender of the police officers won’t make much difference to the court in most of the scenarios possibly at play here.

It’s also good to hear that the other players tried to get him back to the hotel safely. Scott has let them down massively and will be interesting to see what that dynamic becomes.

Yeah those were along the lines of my first two thoughts. I was struggling for the right way to state it without it being taken the wrong way
Is that detail included to give more context around the use of the taser or is it to pile more dirt on?

From a court perspective i dont think it matters. A lot of this is going to come down to how the assault occurred... i have certainly seen and heard many cases where a person resisting arrest get the assault charge because during the resistance, they make contact with an officer and those charges can often get dropped... or whether he attacked them.

I'm not saying gender matters from a legal perspective in this instance. What I am saying is the public perception for the NRL of a guy who (allegedly) punched an officer, if that officer was female, may be catastrophic if not handled with a heavy hand.

But of course, we don't know what happened and once that's all revealed we'll have a better idea of whether Scott should get off free.

Yeah in the court of public opinion, this is going to play out very poorly for Scott, and it's going to involve a very heavy fine and a lengthy suspension, im still feeling the 8-12 weeks, i wouldnt be stunned if they just gave him exactly what Wighton got. We're going to have to deal with the fact this guy is going to be missing close to half the season, maybe more. He's going to have the deal with the fact he's going to hit with a fairly significant fine, 25k+ id say

From a court perspective, i really feel like this is going to be a bread and butter good behaviour bond, community service and fines etc.
Generally speaking for Sports stars, the courts seem take into account at sentencing that their employer is also going to impose some significant punishment too, so i just think the courts will want to process this one out and let the NRL handle it.

The line that the first two responders were female, indicates there were more responders. So the two female police called for backup...
And Curtis has said he will be fighting the charge.

Fair bit of context there.

Whatever the outcome tomorrow and whatever punishment is meted out by the courts, NRL, and the club, let's not forget the bloke did do some fundraising for the bush fire victims off his own bat, which is a mark in his favour IMO. I'm as dirty as anyone that he's sullied the green, but if the club keeps him on I hope we all give him the thinnest benefit-of-the-doubt and one (absolutely final) chance to redeem himself.

Canberra Raiders recruit Curtis Scott arrested after Moore Park incident

Post by LastRaider »

Of course Scott’s lawyer is going to come and say he is going to “defend this vigorously”, as it’s going to be harder for the NRL to hand down a harsh punishment to Scott as until convicted he is innocent.

So tomorrow he will plead innocent, they will set a trial date probably for around October. So during this time they will have to let Scott play after a small ban (say 6 weeks) and then closer to the date he will either settle (most likely) or change his plea to guilty.

It’s 101 legal stuff. It’s also exactly the same strategy Wighton did.

I haven't read through the entire thread, but once the legal process is complete, I hope Sticky looks into why CS went out with a bunch of Raider players and ended up on his own. Did he simply kick on when the others called 'time'? Was he being a jerk and he put everyone offside?? I don't expect the outcome to be made public, but given his history, it's something the coach will probably want to know.

As for us fans, we await the outcome of the court case tomorrow. After the highs of last year this is a disappointing start to 2020.
