Criminal courts have a higher standard burden of proof. Not guilty doesn't mean he didn't bring the club into disrepute given his previous Australia day and Bateman incidents.

He lied to his employer about the events didn't he? On a disciplinary matter he'd breached in previously.

Still sackable as a 3rd strike?

He'd had Oz day stuff up (throwing phones at passing cars and then the police brutality).
Punching windows out at training and breaking/cutting his hand.
Punching randoms at Cocomo and trying to cover it up.

3 strikes. That we know about.

This looks really really bad for our legal system

- there is no evidence that the guy said " he wants a gay experience ", its all here say. It doesn't pass the pub test- does anyone actually say " gay experience "???

- yes he was wrongly tazered by the cops, but is that a golden ticket for ever?

- the guy puts photos of his tats up on instagram and LOVES showing them off but doesn't want to show them off in a night club?

I hope for Curtis's sake he is found guilty of the DV charges he is facing in Sydney otherwise he is going to think he is untouchable and that will end in tears

Ever since Curtis dumped Dennis Denuto as his lawyer and got My Cousin Vinny, he’s become untouchable in the eyes of the law.

I fully expect his lawyer to have Curtis welcomed back to the NRL, playing for the Kangaroos and a board seat on the NRL commission by mid June.

The NRL judiciary would have found themselves in contempt and suspending the tackled player if Jack Wighton had used him in defence of his lifting tackle.

Jack Wighton would have got off on assaulting 5 blokes and being suspended for 10 games or whatever it was if he'd just used Scott's lawyer. "I was acting in self defence, all five blokes said they wanted to have a "gay experience" with me! I feared for my life!" Not guilty.

I tried to rationalise it as them claiming it to have been part of an assault (ie making physical contact with Scott) but honestly, yes...they really did roll out the gay panic defence in 2022. The mind boggles.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

He pleaded self defence. The "gay experience" thing is only part of the background to the incident. The bloke pulled his shirt down to look at Scott's tattoos. Then, he told him he'd like to "**** him". Then, the gay experience comment came up.

Security guard Craig O'Connor, the only witness who was sober at the time in question, indicated he had heard the man telling Scott about a desire to have "a gay moment" with him.

The alleged victim got pulled away by a friend of his who told him the victim was drunk. The friend then returned and grabbed Scott's wrists and restrained him for some reason. Scott broke away, but the original bloke came at him and Scott was now of the belief that this bloke was drunk and potentially violent. He also had the friend who had grabbed him to contend with.

Scott felt out-numbered and in danger. "A backs against the wall" situation he claimed. "Gay panic" had nothing to do with it. He thought he was going to be bashed by two men. So, he punched the first bloke in the nose. What would a reasonable person do? Wait to see how it played out and maybe get hospitalised?

In closing submissions, Mr Macedone urged the court to find Scott had thrown the punch on the basis he had feared an imminent attack.

Case closed. Now he has the three DV charges against him to contests later this year.

I don't have the faintest clue about the law but how do you plead self defence if you threw the first punch? Surely suggesting that you thought you were going to be assaulted isn't justicification for assaulting someone? It's the **** chewbacca defence.

That is actually the essence of what assault is. It doesn't necessarily require being physically punched in the face; it is enough being under the apprehension that you're about to be punched in the face or there is a risk of same.

Also I don’t think this helps Scott at all in this wrongful dismissal claim against the club, they took their time and came to the decision they felt comfortable with and that was long before a guilty verdict was on the cards

He didn't even tell the club of the assault when it happened. That in and of itself was probably enough.

Let alone the crap from the previous preseason...and the domestic violence charges.

Wouldn't that be intimidation? Surely you can't just clock someone and say you thought they were going to punch you, so you punched them first?

Evidence accepted by both sides and on camera has the other side grabbing Scott- the "restraining" and shirt lifting referred to. Evidently the court decided that was also an unwanted assault (not battery or other varieties but unwanted touching or physicality).

Some really weird takes here. There has been two separate legal processes relating to two separate incidents and two outcomes determined by the courts. It feels like there is a sense that where the outcomes don’t align with the narrative that best suits the raiders fans the results are being questioned like it’s an extension of the unconscious bias we supposedly battle on a daily basis. Very odd that some people can so definitely pass judgment on a decision by the court based off a couple of paragraphs in a newspaper article.

What's even more amazing is that if he still played for the Raiders, certain posters would have the completely opposite viewpoint!

Just to clarify, "assault" is the threat of violence. "Battery" is the actual violence being carried out. That's why the two terms are usually connected to each other.

Curtis Scott set to sue Canberra Raiders for sacking over nightclub incident

Curtis Scott is set to commence legal action against the Raiders after the sacked centre was found cleared of an assault charge on Monday. Scott was found not guilty on the grounds of self defence for hitting a man at a Canberra nightclub last year.

“I am instructed to explore and look into any action against the Raiders for unlawful termination,” lawyer Sam Macedone said. “Now that this has been dealt with we will look at that possibility.”

Curtis Scott considers suing Canberra Raiders for unfair dismissal following acquittal on assault charge

Curtis Scott is considering legal action against the Canberra Raiders for unfair dismissal in the wake of beating the assault charge that led to the NRL club tearing up his contract. Scott was cleared of assault in the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday on the grounds of self-defence. Scott said he'd been threatened by the man, who touched him and said he wanted to have a "gay experience" with him.

Firstly this lawyer doesn't need any more clients, curtis is keeping him busy enough!

But I am very confident he has no case for suing the raiders.
One thing I will say about Donny he has been awesome at terminating contracts legally. Last one I remember even trying was Steve Irwin and he didn't win

Im sure he has been instructed to look at it and im sure that's what he'll do, even if he doesnt have much of a case, they might get some "go away" settlement money... cant hurt to try.

Given the time it took for the Raiders to action this, i would HOPE they've got their ducks in a row on this.

But I am very confident he has no case for suing the raiders.
One thing I will say about Donny he has been awesome at terminating contracts legally. Last one I remember even trying was Steve Irwin and he didn't win
Wasn't it only last year that the club 'settled' with G. Williams after a less than ideal departure from the club?

I don't think the NRL ever registered his contract with Parra.
