Sam Kerr

[DJC]

I’m interested in two points, if your captain is accused of racism, how does that affect her team mates, let alone the corporates ?
If her lawyers are trying to get it thrown out of court, she’s guilty…

There’s a difference between racism and “racially aggravated harassment”.  Without knowing exactly what was said and in what context, it’s hard to know how folk would respond.  I suspect that Kerr probably has more people on her side than against her given the poor reputation of the Metropolitan Police.

Dismissal always involves a proven charge but I’m not sure that is what Kerr’s lawyers are doing.  The case would have tried for it to be dismissed.  A hearing before the trial may be seeking to have the charge withdrawn.
