Fracture a
blokes jaw, punch one of his front teeth out, in a drunken piece of late night street
thuggery.
All because the
bloke made a feeble remark about the rugby club jersey you were wearing.
What would you
expect the punishment to be in a case like this?
An assault
conviction would surely be the minimum?
Unless of
course you are an up and coming Otago rugby starlet like Riley McDowall and not
say a clerk in a government department.
As I am at
pains to indicate there is a separate law in New Zealand for Rugby players and
Judge Kevin Phillips has merely re-confirmed this by discharging this drunken punk without conviction.
