Found not guilty.
Didnât really like the statement âno man should ever have to go through thisâ could have chosen a better way of expressing that.
John Jarratt has commenced defamation proceedings against The Daily Telegraph publisher Nationwide News and journalist Jonathon Moran over an article on published on 18 November 2017 which reported that he had been accused of rape.
This Sunday 60 Minutes has the exclusive interview with John Jarratt, it was filmed on the eve of his trial verdict.
I noticed this. I am seriously not sure I like the way he has handled himself. I didnât like the arrogance and I didnât like the comments he made. I have little doubt it was consensual but feel it hasnât been handled in a dignified manner.
Another charged dropped.
NOW was launched in the wake of the allegations against Harvey Weinstein.
Remaining funds will be given to the YWCA and a free legal service.
Wasnât there an issue when the details of some of the victims were accidentally shown to the media?
Could Nationwide News be contemplating an appeal to the High Court, I wonder?
Wouldnât put it past them. Heck, theyâd want to be able to just put a list of everyone they think has played with kiddies in the past and get away with it.
Nationwide News will not be taking this to the High Court, according to the SMH.
It was a very expensive front page story.
This clears the way for McLachlanâs defamation count case against the SMH, Age and the ABC to recommence.
Given the quote from the magistrate, I doubt that would be a successful case for before a civil court. Be interesting to see if thereâs a settlement.
McLachlan commenting after the verdict.
It will be interesting what the full report says as well. I donât think the defamation case will go ahead either. I think there is enough evidence to suggest it probably did happen but there isnât enough evidence to convict. Probably doesnât convict in a criminal trial.
