Burglary is aggravated if someone is present during the burglary and the offender knew or was reckless as to the fact, or if the offender has a weapon or fake weapon.

Bloody sad to read this.
A premiership hero and a father who turned his life around.
I am prepared to believe he is innocent until proven otherwise.

Bail hearing won’t have any pleas etc.
Even if he managed to get bail, I’d doubt the bail conditions would let him leave WA.
From memory, he was late coming back after Xmas. Very late.
Innocent until proven and/or admitting guilt and all that.
But geez, it doesn't look good for him. If so, a complete waste for him and to his family.

Nah, says sweet FA I reckon, indeed I think his Manager did say he was innocent in a more formal way.
Van Der is an outstanding fellow who has done a power of unpaid work with a number of players out of South Freo who have made the step up to AFL. He deserves a lot of credit for his efforts, and I really hope for his sake that these charges are not founded.
This is what Van Der actually said in relation to the news:
Pickett “has a strong intent to defend himself against the charges”.
“Due to the ongoing legal nature of the proceedings, Marlion, or myself will not be able to provide any further details, comment or clarification about the matter at this stage.
“We understand and respect the public’s interest in this matter, but we also implore all to respect the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise, and to allow the legal proceedings to follow their due course without prejudice.”
OK, so let's all be really, really, *smile* disappointed, but stick to facts please. We don't have much to go by, except he was allowed to spend more time in WA and his manager is saying he'll contest the charges. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.
Not sure if the rumour mongers would get Mr T in the cross-hairs for the speculation, so might temporarily move those comments from public view until he's OK with em.

What a ridiculous post.
In this country we are innocent until proven guilty and that is a principle we should vigorously defend. You are making a presumption of guilt with no facts at all. You are speculating in a way bordering on stereotypical racism.
He may be guilty and he may not be, the courts will decide that, not *smile* keyboard warriors.
I don’t defend criminals, but I defend the right of someone not to be assumed to be one until our legal system confirms it rather than making assumptions on social media.
I know, but I'm assuming without the help of a solicitor?......meaning he's got a strong case?
