John Banks guilty

[oldrider]

Yeh very easy to claim that when it doesn't go his way. The fact stands that Banks choose a judge-alone trial, rather than a jury of his peers. Why was he so dumb? Arguably he hedged his bets thinking that he would get off easier than if he had a jury trial.

Six of one half a dozen of the other .. life is a lottery!

He didn't stand a chance I think he really thought he was doing good during his public political life kinda like Muldoon and his "Rob's Mob" fantasy!

Grandma used to have a saying: "Fools names and fools faces mostly seen in public places" Banksy all the way I'm afraid!

[Mike.Gayner]

I reckon he will challenge on the basis of some docs regarding Krim Dot Con or info challenging his and others credibility as witnesses (despite judge ruling they were credible).

None of that are points of law though. No grounds for appeal there - that's what the trial was for. And the judge didn't buy it, because Banks is a perennial incorrigible liar.

None of that are points of law though.

Fresh evidence, that was not available at the time of the original trial, is absolutely a ground to seek leave to appeal. The court can look at it and deny leave to appeal, if they think it would have made no difference, but in a case where a judge has decided that one person's evidence is credible (Kim Dotcom! Credible?! ) and one person's not, I can't see that being the case...

[roogazza]

What a joke. It's arrogant wankers like him that really piss the people off. Why doesn't he just accept the slap over the back of the hand with a the wet lettuce leaf that he has been handed and just go and do the community service?....it'd be the only 100 hours REAL work the prick has ever done and would save the tax payer a small fortune in legal fees.

Yes, never met him but he looks a self righteous little fuck.
Small mans disease I reckon ? for sure.

[Fatt Max]

I like John Banks, he has fat friends like Kim Dot Cotton or whatever his name is

Anyone who likes fat people is ok in my book

[oldrider]

Fat people are OK .. fat german criminals trying to buy our country to hide in are not among them! ... Do you still like pies Max?

[Banditbandit]

Fat people are immoral ...

[mashman]

It's not the fault of the fat person

[Banditbandit]

It's not the fault of the fat person

Yes it is - that's what's immoral .. it takes a lot of resources to make a fat person ... more than their fair share of the resources .. they are draining the planet of resources ..

(And I would point out that there were NO fat people in Auschwitz ... if it was anything other than eating too much there would have been fat people on Auschwitz)

It's a medical condition for some, just like that real life buster gonad guy . , totes true... but then they'd make less food at the carry out joints and they'd go bust, they also keep Drs and Surgeons etc... employed. So fat people are good for the economoney.

What's Auschwitz?

What's Auschwitz?

'slike, summer camp for jews, they were supposed to fix ze germanian ovens while they were there, but failed.
now there's all these butthurt jews who weren't even there who use it as an excuse for, like, free countries and shit.

Did that happen, like, in the past?

Not neccessarily. A fat person might well be using less resources than a skinny b'stard that does a lot of exercise. The olympics is more immoral than a fat person eating pies and ice cream and watching Teev all day

Goldenshower! Au = gold ... schwitz = urine! Where were you educated?
