00:00 Can we just get your perspective on the case today?

00:07 Her Honour has reserved her judgement until October and in October we'll find out the

00:12 result then.

00:13 Could you explain what happened in court as to your stance?

00:17 Well the evidence came out and the evidence was dealt with by Her Honour and she'll come

00:21 to a resolution when she considers all that evidence.

00:24 Did you say that Junior was not the man on the roof with the hammer?

00:28 That was the position that was put forward, yes absolutely.

00:30 We maintain that position.

00:31 Our client is innocent.

00:32 How damaging have these allegations been to his career?

00:35 No he's still playing and he'll continue to play until that decision comes down.

00:41 But any kind of allegation is damaging to anyone's reputation and that's always very

00:44 difficult for anyone to deal with.
