I knew the story was big... but now 60million Americans will know that Hall is a member of al-Qaeda!

Well to get the charge down graded he has to plead not guilty.

Can I have a link to the story.

Not sure about that one - I'm thinking* it would have been safer to plead guilty but have the charge down graded to 'in play'.

* This is how us pros do it, Bon!

But if he pleads not guilty, then doesn't he have to answer to all the charges? Harder to prove?

Pleading guilty would give little wiggle room in higher courts.

I have not gone looking but I suspect there is a clue in the 5x thingys.

Its not proof we are worried about, its all there on camera, all we have to do is convince the tribunal that the hit was negligent rather then reckless.

The process (in Melb) has been to prejudiced - he cannot get a fair hearing in Melb and the AFL

How can so many get off for similar incident (as Blight points out Prejudice against Sydney ).

They should go outside the process ASAP

Adrian Anderson should get sacked (he is utterly hopeless)

Is pleading not guilty to the charges made mutually exclusive with pleading guilty to lesser charges?

Is this decision closing the door on the most likely way of playing on Saturday? I hope not.

I am thinking that I will be a very angry man tomorrow night...

Though it will depend on the rules of the tribunal, I would expect not. Think in terms of murder/manslaughter. Hall is saying that he is not guilty of the charge before him, which was 1+2+3+4. That is not inconsistent with being guilty of 1+2+3+5, or 1+2+3.

But more important... will he get the 25% discount?

Just watched "On the Couch" and what makes me even more infuriated is the fact that the match review panel deemed Gasper's elbow to the head of McGregor to be negligent and not reckless. And yet a tap to the (we do not know conclusively where) is given as reckless.

Mike Sheahan and Healy think that this is where he will get off. They think the charge will be downgraded from reckless to negligent and thus will escape suspension.
