"Vickery, 27, believed a partner in his Hawthorn East Italian restaurant, Fat Monkey, stole as much as $100,000.

He raised his concerns with police, but when he was dissatisfied with the response, it is alleged he enlisted King, 33, to recover the funds."

Hmmmm.

Hmmmm.

 

[threesixpio]

Law Handbook is great

 

[threesixpio]

From what I read there, I reckon I'm in the clear (and I know you are a lawyer).

I will not give advice on this over the Internet. Sorry

 

[Holy Rioli]

I will not give advice on this over the Internet. Sorry

Can completely understand that.

I actually did study media law at uni, it was the only unit I nearly failed.

"Media Law". Sounds like a contradiction in terms.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Is this a footy discussion page or the script for an episode of Blue Heelers?

Get him Schultz!

Gee you hate the media. Lol

Unless it's the Betoota Advocate, it's hard not to hate them.

Them Tigers, eh?

Off topic but how would this stack up? (from a CNN Journo Hack re the guy that created the Trump WWE GIF)

"Don't create nasty shit about us again or we'll out who you are to the world?"

Robbo is about to pontificate, should be interesting.

 

[Hawkthorn33]

No proof that the person is a thief so you shouldn't be making out that he is.

He probably is a thief though for things to reach this level. Be as "politically correct" as you want but here's plenty of scum that get away with this sort of behaviour unfortunately in our society, which leaves honest people desperate to attain an outcome through their own means when the justice system fails them.

To sum up the course, you can't lie in court, but do it to protect your informant anyway—Australia needs to change it's archaic laws, and Journalist's must be privileged because they stop corruption blah blah blah. Libel is not allowed, so be ambiguous—ie. don't be anything like Darren Hinch. Finally, here are a list of ways to flog a news story or exclusive information...

To sum up Journalism training, "we were blue collar workers pretending to be white, now ordinary plebs write blogs and our jobs are being undercut so we better flap our hands like Ted Richards and make a scene.

Mate this has nothing to do with being politically correct, but has everything to do with making defamatory statements.

I'm not defending thievery here - just saying people should treat lightly about saying definitively about what happened when they have nothing to go on but hearsay.

 

[Hawthorn United]

This has been a pretty shitty season on-field already, we didn't need some off-field shit too.

Even if he isn't charged, he's going to have to do a lot to earn his way back.

 

[Furn2]

As much as that $500k would handy considering he's playing at Box Hill.

It's pretty shitty to see people barracking for a Hawthorn player to be found guilty and fired.

 

[lethalselbow]

Vickery released without charge.

Hope he comes out a clean skin from all this.

 

[Hodginator]

It seems King has beeen charged.

 

[Badesumofu]

Something to be aware of is that Vickery was signed as an RFA and so any contracted payments from the RFA contract have to be included in our TPP no matter what.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Ok so we are stuck with Tyrone's contract, at least it was resolved quickly.

 

[Flag08]

Arrests are when an officer has a reasonable belief that a person may have committed an offence. Very far away from being found guilty beyond reasonable doubt that someone has committed the offence. Very very far way

Having reasonable belief that the person has committed an offence is a long way from nothing
