“But I’m A Rugby Player” Legal Defence Ploy Goes Mainstream

When collared and placed in front of a judge the standard ‘jail card issued’ by professional rugby players, is the one along the lines “It’ll harm my future overseas career prospects if I’m convicted”   

One read of this blog will see this mitigation is an almost guaranteed winner in any N.Z Court. 

Only now, it appears you no longer need to be a top player in New Zealand to also issue similar claims, that a conviction will curtail your sporting future.  

You only need to ‘dream’ you’ll one-day play Super Rugby or for The All Blacks & you can present this as a factor for the judge to take-into account come sentencing.  

Even, when it involves the serious charge of punching another man unconscious. 

Enter stage left Kings High Old Boy, Pesajon Tili.

 Thankfully the Police and Judge saw through Tili’s defence ploy.

Regan King Con All Black

The BBC Wales is reporting ex All Black Regan King owes five women and two men, money. 

The complainants come from Wales, Australia and New Zealand. 

Money he allegedly duped out of them with bull-shit stories, like his divorce proceedings were frozen.  

“Look at me I’m an ex All Black and an elite professional rugby player” 

Who likes to gamble.

Apparently. 

Well it’s more than apparently. 

Seven people with the same claims can’t all be wrong.

 

Kings lawyers have yet to sue all the media outlets running the same story-line. 

 

"Woe is me, lend me money and I'll pay you back"   

 

Including the N.Z Herald.

 

Nor for that matter launched proceedings against his victims for defamation. 

 

Regan King Con.
