I dont think they will get off. As far as circumstantional cases go, this one is one of the strongest I have seen.
Unless they can cast enough doubt on the 'smoking gun' that is. And from what I have been hearing, the first two days of submissions from their lawyers were pretty much soley focussed on getting key evidence excluded or diminished in reliability.
Rather than saying 'they didnt do it' theyve been focussing on 'the evidence relied on to prove it cant be trusted'.
If they have to adopt that form of defence, then they are pretty well screwed. If they can't beat the evidence in an open court... cooked bombers!
As for them coming out and saying that they are currently serving voluntary bans... I think that shit will be thrown out as fake.
Judge: When did your clients start their voluntary bans?
QC: About 24 hours after the club self reported!... but only during the offseason... after all the players had to try and win a flag for St Jimmy the Great
