Martin Asked to Leave Restaurant / Apologises to Female Patron

[WilliamPowell]

Ch7 just reported it as well

Ch7 also said the RFC & AFL are now "free" to hand Martin punishment for his behaviour

[The Mole]

Disagree

With the AFL involved, reckon he will miss a H&A game

They will come over the top like they did in the Carlisle punishment

My take reading between the lines.
So police interview independent witnesses and don't proceed. No case to answer.
The Hun ( which is part of the same organisation as the woman making the complaint works for) reports that the woman decides not to make a statement. Why? Because her statement, if the same as her previous statements, would be at odds with all the witnesses, therefore opening her up for criminal charges against her for perjury. As it stand Dusty may now have a case for defamation.

Why would we punish him if he hasn't broken any law?

Threatening to kill someone is breaking the law. So the police must have found he didn't actually do that.

defamation anybody?

[Francois Jackson]

Hahahahahahaha classic. WP you still thinks he deserves a  punishment??

Never read anything that those fools in Rita and O'brien write in future. Ooh and That Irish bloke

Perjury is lying to court, she would have no criminal case to answer for if she was found to be making the whole thing up. She may be vulnerable for defamation, but most likely it would br Ch7 or the Hun that Dusty would ultimately take $$ from.

The media treatment of Dustin and the whole incident has been absolutely disgraceful.

He should get an apology.Thats about it.

[WilliamPowell]

Yeah, I do for being an idiot absolutely

Getting totally tanked, so tanked he can't remember what he did and behaving like moron in a public place 3 weeks into preseason was stupid so yeah he deserves a whack for that. Any other player would cop a punishment

And like it or not he will cop one

Interesting that the alleged victims language of what went down has changed from very specific threats to a more general 'behaved aggressively'.

Most interesting is the fact she wouldn't speak to the cops

Nice to get the police side of things wrapped up before xmas.

Time for Dusty to get his slap on the wrist and move on .
